Agree with Steve Diggle above that simply whoever is best plays . I would , however prefer a starting slot to be McHughs to lose . He has done enough in his gametime up til now to merit a chance , if he fails to deliver then bring Higginbotham in . If the team is to push on for a European challenge then its got to be a case of best 11 , not favourite 11 .

First 20 mins or so gave me the fear , with Samaras tearing Kerr a new arse on too many occasions . A few good passages of play as the half wore on to give a little confidence and belief . If we can keep it tight for first 15min of 2nd half the crowd will get restless and on their backs , and from there you never know what could happen . MTW

Taking 2012 as a whole , there are so many highs and achievements to be proud and bask in the glory of , yet some prefer to wallow in the few lows we have had along the way . We are a small club and lows are inevitable , just got to ride them out and milk the fuck out the highs when they come along . '91 aside , this has to be up there as my proudest year of being a 'Well fan in over 25 years of supporting the team . Heres hoping 2013 is even half as prosperous for the club and the Dossers who hold it close to their heart , wherever they may be .

Inspired subs today to spark a very unlikely comeback win . M/Well playing basically a 3-3-4 , who'd a thunk it ? Absolutely buzzing after listening to the MFCTV commentary , the guys' reaction when the winner went in was brilliant . Off to works do now and free bar all night , right in the mood to smash it now . COYW !! .

Horrific collapse after losing the first goal . When that happened on Sat v Ross County we stayed composed and played our way back into the game . Tonight they completely fell apart and the remainder of the game was shambolic , with the eventual scoreline being kept respectable only by some top saves from Randolph . Hateley was yet again poor , and Cummins positional awareness and distribution simply not good enough at this level . Only Randolph , Higdon and Humphrey , for me , did enough to earn pass marks . Depending on what departures occur during the transfer window , I fear the season could peter out long before May comes around .

Just hoping the team carry some of Saturdays passing and forward play into tonights game , although being a little more composed at the back and sitting a bit further up the park instead of inviting the opposition onto us would also be welcome ! Going for a narrow 2-1 win in a ( hopefully ) entertaining cup tie to keep our minds off what is sure to be an absolutely freezing night .

Great save from Hollis at the death to seal the win . Most entertaining home game for a wee while , with some good passing and forward play in spells . Some around me not happy with the substitutions , but think they were purely to save the guys a bit for Tuesday night . All in all a good day with the win and other results in our favour , will enjoy mt beers tonight !

Expecting this to be absolutely honking as a spectacle with one goal being enough to decide it . As long as its us that gets it I'll gladly endure the usual 90 mins of turgid shit we've become accustomed to at home this season . 1-0 'Well , any scorer , even an oggy will do to get a long awaited home victory .

Typical sfa bawbaggery . Ref saw incident from close quarters and gave nothing . Players shook hands at end indicating no quarrel between them , so should be a case of forget it and move on . Trial by television with Andy Wa*ker sitting as judge , putting ideas in Vince Loony's head is shocking . 'Offences' of that level not highlighted on t.v. happen weekin , week out and go unpunished . Unless its mentioned in the match report , or the ref looks over it again and feels he should have took action , any unreported incident should be left alone .

Should really be a clean sweep of votes for Hutch . How anyone could think any other player came close , I don't know .

As Fudge says , we are definitely restricted by opposition teams coming here and pushing , and closing our players down quickly to nulify our passing game . On the road the onus is on the home team to create , which gives our players more freedom and space going forward . The manager therefore needs to come up with a plan b at fir park , because we are so predictable its hard to see where a home win is going to come from .

Randolph challenge just been back on sky . Contact to me seemed minimal tbh , and as for intent , would be hard for anyone to prove there was malice in it . Randy takes the ball and appears to be looking straight ahead , not towards hearts player coming in . Wether he meant it or not , I have my suspicions , but hard to prove , I would reckon .

On the Randolph debate , thought it looked dodgy at the time , but just about to watch highlights on Sky to see how it looks on t.v. Got to agree it would be harsh if compliance officer gets involved . The fecker only seems to rear his head when incidents receive tv and media attention , things like McCullochs elbow as stated being swept under the bigot brothers favoured carpet .

Definitely a poor overall performance . Looked a nil - nil from a long way out , so at home you expect your manager to change things in an attempt to turn things in our favour . Personally thought that , although he had few efforts at goal of note , big Higgys workrate , especially in the first half tracking back , was much improved . But as long as he is on the park he is a threat in and around the box . Henrik , on the other hand , was out of sorts and contributed little . Would have hooked him and gave Boab a half hour run out , as although McCall doesn't appear to rate him , he couldn't have done any worse , and after so long in the fringes deserves a wee bit if game time to prove once and for all if he can cut it or not .

Sundays result should have given the team plenty confidence , so hoping for a positive result to get our home form going . Although they beat us last time at their place , I wasn't overly impressed with Hearts . Would love a clean sheet for a wee change , so goin for 2-0 'Well .

Just my opinion that boys who were in the 19s before things changed in general . Boys like Leitch , Ashgar etc deserve to be playing to aid their development and give them a chance to prove if they can deliver whats required on a consistent basis . As an example , Hollis quite rightly plays most games to keep him as sharp as possible incase he is called upon for first team duty . But from there , how much competitive action does the young boy Stewart get ? Don't know if he is in his final year of contract or not , but his chances could be limited to prove his worth . As I say just my opinion , could be totally wide of the mark as I've not been to many of these games

From the reports though it seems Hearts fielded a strong side too , so my point is lack of game time afforded to the younger boys in favour of the likes of Hollis , McHugh etc . All the players obviously need to play as much as possible , but having one team for all personnel between u17 and first team to me is not adequate , not only for us , but even more so for teams with far bigger squads than us . So yes , Hearts got a positive result with a strong line up , but at what cost to the progression of some of their upcoming talent ? .

Another disappointing result which can't be good for morale and confidence , but there are obvious failings in the set up in this country . Looking at last nights team , there were 7 or 8 reserve/fringe players in the starting line-up for us . From that its not hard to see that the younger boys are not getting anywhere near the game time required to prove whether they're good enough or not . It's probably also why there is no consistency in results , as the starting line-up is completely different from game to game so centre backs not having chance to build a partnership , forwards not able to gain an understanding with each other etc. I know everything points towards finance , but doing away with the seperate u19 and reserve leagues is stunting the growth of young talent in this country . When they were both in place it gave the youth a natural progression from playing in a settled side , through integrating with the reserves and onto the first team squad , if they were good enough . Now even our most promising youngsters like Lawless and Watt are not getting a fair crack and moving on elsewhere while imposters like Daley draw a decent wage for warming the bench and contributing the sum total of hee haw .

@linsey12 , don't know if your post is in direct reply to what I posted , but I don't think it was being overly critical of him , more a realistic appraisal of where he is at , at the minute . As I said , play to his strengths and for many full backs in the SPL he becomes unplayable , continue in the same vein as we have been lately and his contribution and confidence will remain low . I would be delighted to see him return to form , and a spell on the bench with a high impact introduction in the last half hour could be a good way of helping him get there imho .

I agree with some that Humphrey got 2 or 3 decent balls in last night that were begging to be tucked away , but over 90 mins that has regularly become the sum of his contribution , which is far from enough . He is one of those players who , if he has some joy vs the full back early on , he thrives on the crowds reaction and positivity and goes on to rip them a new arse throughout the match . However , if things go against him early doors , he falls out the game and offers little . Balls to feet are no good to him , close control and dribbling past men are not what he does got to be in behind for him to run onto using his one true strength of speed . I am not a Humphrey hater , just got to play to his strengths , or have him on the bench as an impact player for last half hour , as at the moment I dont think he does enough to merit a starting slot every week . Would personally go with the latter option and move Murphy onto the right with Law out left and possibly Carswell in middle with Las giving a bit of balance to the midfield

Got to get back to basics . A lot of emphasis lately by management and fans lately on getting back to scoring goals but to get back on an even keel I would first be happy to stop conceding from being poor at the back .Scoring goals breeds confidence , but losing goals obviously has the opposite effect , and a settled back line to build from is key , and from that point I really hope big Hutch is back fit .St J are in a rich vein of form at the moment , and I think if we can head back down the road with a clean sheet and a point in the bag it would stop the rot and give us a platform to build from . In the past I would have said we should be going there confident that we are capable of coming back with a win under our belts . Of course we are , but being realistic about where we are at the moment in terms of confidence , mentality etc. , I think a draw and a clean sheet would be good for morale . Last season we were considered a scalp to most teams , but now our frailties are all too obvious . The sooner the players and management realise that and learn to knuckle down and graft to rectify things , the better .Anyway , after that rant my ( hopeful ) prediction is 0-0 , and a base to build from in the coming month which could define our season .

Even without the monumental refereeing fuck ups , we would still have lost tonight . Dont know if my eyes deceived me but seemed like a back 3 at one point with hately deployed on left with hammell pushing up a bit in front of him , wtf ? Why not remove Kerr who was having a mare , keep hately in the right and put Carswell on in the middle ? How can subbing ojamaa instead possibly be seen as being positive in trying to get a foothold back in the game ? Humphrey actually looked in the mood early on before reverting back to his usual self , the wild effort he fired up the back of the Cooper summed him up , when was his last really good game ? Fuckin imposter . Some of McCalls blue eyed boys are not repaying his faith in them with recent performances , and need a spell warming the bench , rather than him shifting them all over the park just to give them a game . Unless he can take his blinkers off and send the right team out in the right formation , a long depressing season languishing in the bottom half of the table awaits

Hearts were no more than ordinary today , and McCalls failure to recognise that and change things early in the game to have a go at them is my main frustration . Constantly playing to negate the opposition rather than playing to our own strengths is so often our undoing .The longer McCall persists with the obvious failings in his system that everyone bar him can see , the more the likelihood that mid to bottom half of the table is where we'll stay . Higdon as a lone striker doesn't work - fact . This has been painfully obvious in so many games , but on the rare occasion he is given someone to play just off him he has proven much more effective . How Humphrey merits a place in the squad never mind starting 11 is a mystery to me , he needs hunted to f#ck asap , waste of a jersey . Would like to see him dropped for Hibs , with McHugh or Ojamaa coming in and getting closer to Higgy . Would put Hateley back to R/B and Kerr in middle at back if Hutch not fit , and have liked the look of ZFA when he's had a chance . Give a midfield 3 a go again with Murphy in a free role in front of them , and if thats not working , revert back to a 4-4-2 with Murphy in front of Hateley , where at least he will be playing down the right on his stronger foot and might actually be able to get a cross into the box when he reaches the bye line . Randolph Hateley Hutchy Ramsden Hammell Lasley Law ZFA Murphy Higgy Ojamaa/Boab Had a few beers so don't know if this selection would stand up with most folk , feel free to shoot me down !!

Complete pain in the arse . Should , as had been said , simply a case of s/t holders using a special voucher as per the Hibs game last season . Now means having to get away from work for a completely unnecessary trip to f/p for myself and many others in the same position , purely because of the usual sub standard level of communication from the club . If the special vouchers aren't going to be used for these situations , whats the point in printing them ?

Cheers mate , just wonderin if he looked worth adding to squad
