Over the two friendly games I've been very impressed with McLean he looks physically stronger than he did and his use of the ball and movement have been excellent. I think he could go on to be a bigger asset than Cadden.

I agree I thought Dunne was our best defender in the first half, he was also a decent out ball a few times. I was actually quite optimistic that he will be our recognised left back this season.

Dundee is after all much closer to London.

Moult is a better player than Cummings. He's scored goals in a struggling Motherwell team in the Premiership for the last two years. Cummings has scored goals in a team going well in the Championship for the last few years. So if the going rate for Cummings is 1.5 million with sell on clauses then there is no way Hibs will be able to afford Moult.

I've heard a few weeks ago that he was due to sign for us as long as we kept our top league status.

Spoke earlier today to a Falkirk supporting mate, Leahy is apparently heading to Walsall and Sibbald would command a hefty development fee. Also rumour has it Scougall is heading to Perth with St Johnstone as Swanson's replacement.

I agree with you but in the Celtic game at Fir Park, he played Scott Brown off the pitch in the first half while playing that deeper role, which resulted in them changing their system at half time to try and get Brown into the game.

ALL IN FOR MOULT Rangers will have to offer cash AND Michael OHalloran to sign Motherwell star Louis Moult SunSport previously revealed the Fir Park hitman was high on a list of Scottish-based transfer targets for Ibrox boss Pedro Caixinha EXCLUSIVE By Andy Devlin 22nd May 2017, 10:00 pm RANGERS will have to cough up cash AND Michael OHalloran if they want to land Louis Moult. SunSport can reveal talks aimed at thrashing out a deal between Gers and Motherwell are set to start. Pedro Caixinha wants to sign Louis Moult NEWS GROUP NEWSPAPERS LTD 2 Pedro Caixinha wants to sign Louis Moult As we revealed first, Wells top scorer features high on a list of Scottish-based players compiled by Ibrox boss Pedro Caixinha. The 25-year-old scored 18 goals this season and was a major factor in the Fir Park sides surge to safety. Although Moult has one year left to run on his current contract, its thought Well are willing to sell but only if their asking price is met WELL CLEAR-OUT Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson set to axe EIGHT players but wants Keith Lasley to stay as coach The Fir Park side want £500,000 for their talisman, plus a season-long loan deal for OHalloran. The ex-St Johnstone star still has three years of his Ibrox contract to run. But he has fallen out of favour under Caixinha and is one of the high-profile stars the Portuguese is looking to offload. Motherwell failed in a bid to land the 27-year-old in January. Motherwell want Michael OHalloran on loan NEWS GROUP NEWSPAPERS LTD 2 Motherwell want Michael OHalloran on loan But after announcing yesterday that EIGHT players had left Well, boss Steve Robinson is chasing new faces. So too is Caixinha as he embarks on a massive summer of transition at Ibrox. Moult is a player he desperately wants, but with Derby and Oxford also interested he knows Gers need to act fast. Scott McDonald left Well last week and has been followed through the Fir Park exit door by Craig Samson, Joe Chalmers, Lee Lucas, Zak Jules, Craig Moore, David Ferguson and Stephen Pearson. Its understood Ryan Bowman and Jacob Blyth could also soon be deemed surplus to requirements.

Been a great player for us over a number of years, I agree with earlier posts he is a significant reason why we are still a Premiership Club. Not just in 2015 but if we had lost him at the last transfer window which looked a distinct possibility I doubt we would have been safe.

I always felt he was identified as a replacement for Moult going last summer, when Johnson went near the end of the transfer window I think there must've been a panicky to sign anyone, therefore we ended up with a player we just didn't need.

I agree, if we'd been having this debate a fortnight ago, I think you would have struggled to find anyone willing to offer Ainsworth a new contract. He had a good game against Killie and then the 5 previous performances are forgotten. I agree that he was hung out to dry by McGhee numerous times but for me it's time he moved on. Thanks for a few great memories.

I thought it was a foul at the time andvwatching it back, I've not changed my mind. I do think the ref was very poor with inconsistent decisions to similar fouls.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out over the next few seasons, when they are battling for mid-table mediocrity in the Premiership. A Hearts supporting mate says he can already see a drop in support and expects season ticket sales to drop by over 25% this season.

I doubt I'm the only one who thinks the loss of McManus hasn't been a huge blow and has caused us to be in such poor form since his injury. I know he has had his critics and we weren't great defensively when he was fit, but he organised Heneghan who looks lost without McManus I honestly believe that if we had kept McManus and Tait fit, we would be sitting comfortably away from danger.

I wasn't too surprised that we lost to Dundee our record since they got promoted has been poor against them. We have had at least 3 contentious decisions against them now in the last 2 years. Hopefully that's our bogey team out the way, I now fully expect 4 victories to finish the season, we are due some luck also hopefully a return of a fitter Pearson will help.

Heard rumours of Kyle Lafferty and Lee Erwin both coming as long as we stay up.

I thought Ainsworth made a huge difference when he came on against Inverness but I would be tempted to start with the same starting 11, with again bringing on Ainsworth on later on when the game inevitably opens up more.

Samson, McHugh, Hammell, Campbell, Moult and even Ainsworth in his short cameo role had good games. But McDonald showed his class throughout the game and his set up for the 4th goal was fantastic.

It could be. Samson Cadden McHugh Heneghan Hammell Bowman Campbell Pearson Frear McDonald Moult

Have to agree John Gardiner was the worst goal keeper I've seen not just at Motherwell anywhere.

The day Dundee scored 5 against us, didn't say anything about them our defending was that bad a Boy's Brigade team would have scored 5.

I have to agree, the team that McLean built, was the best Motherwell team I've seen.

If there are any injury doubts, I would hope they err on the side of caution. We need the strongest team available for the Accies match and the other preceding games. Obviously a result would be nice on Saturday but it's vital for the Accies match.

I think the clean sheet records would have been more to who was in goals at the time. Saying that I would have Hateley ahead of Tait.

I would be much happier with McManus alongside Heneghan for the remainder of the season than Jules. Since the Dundee game we have been lucky that McHugh has been able to play in the middle of defence but we have missed him sitting in front of the defence offering some protection. The loss of McManus has been a huge blow in my opinion.
