So, after this weekend I have to say that I've officially been won over by Theo Bair. As most of you know, I had very little hope of seeing him be a success at Motherwell, despite really hoping he would be. He's worked hard and has proved his doubters, including me, wrong. And I've never been happier to be wrong. We all love a "lad comes good" story, and this is one of them. Let's hope it continues for him and he can even hit double figures!

no-one is happy about 1 win in 18 league games but half those games we got points from hence 9th in the league, which is about right for where we'd expect to be. If we finish this season 9th or better I'd be pretty happy in giving SK a 12 month rolling contract. SK has been given a tougher remit that other recent Well Managers. Reduce the squad and reduce the budget. He's made mistakes for sure, he's also remedied the mistakes by moving others on. I really dislike the position we as a club are in. After several decades in the SPL we're not progressing, the pipeline of young talent hasn't been as consistent, I'd like to give SK or someone similar a chance to prove out the long game. Scottish football overall is in a pretty sorry state, I don't think the clubs of similar size and stature are pulling away from us. I'm up for giving him time to rebuild.

It's the internet equivalent of sitting in the East Stand or, for people my age, standing in the East Terrace. Luckily we didn't have the internet during the first Premier League season of Tommy McLean or any of our relegation seasons. You don't know what a bad team is until you've seen a team get relegated and then finish 6th in the First Division.

Well said sir, love your honesty. I think the Bair's workrate worked in his favour as he always gives it his all. Hopefully can keep up the good run

ffs dave man thats uterly jinxed him noo, no more goals all season now for theo,,,,,,, you should have kept quiet 😁

I've always backed Kettlewell. I think he's getting a much harder time than he deserves and yes the stats don't look great but this isn't just down to him. Its down to the players too. It was obvious the team had lost confidence before Christmas. I hope they kick on. As I said last night. The manager merry go round is one of the reasons we don't have money to spend on players.

Spot on mate. I'm 100% sure everyone gets the 1 win in 18 thing, I certainly do, but amazingly enough, we've never become detached because of it (meaning everyone is equally good or shite) and in the last 5 games, we've taken 6 points. Only Aberdaan, Killie and Dundeee have taken more, and then only by a point or 2. We're also 4 points off the top six. The two teams with the famous 'new manager bounce' behind them have taken 3 points and 1 point from their last 5 games. If we'd been fighting it out for bottom place after these 18 games and losing every week, I'm sure more people would be calling for heads, but as it stands, we're not. Some people on this forum seem to think that we either have some right to be better then everyone outside the OF or that bringing in some other journeyman manager with a sketchy track record (i.e what we can afford) will make things better. Time for calm heeds and showing a bit of support.

Gees what an achievement, getting banned from a forum, put it on Ur CV There was a guy yesterday calling one of our players a c@nt and he hadnt played 30 mins for us yet , that's not supporting You keep on posting bud, I won't be engaging with you tho...

Calling someone a troll is a "get out" for people who have lost an argument and can't come back with anything constructive. They most probably don't actually know what the word itself means. I for one succesfully trolled the Rangers obsessed moonhowlers on Pie & Bovril for about four years and was eventually banned for it. But I did a pretty good job of it while it lasted. I knew exactly what to say and when to say it, all it took most of the time was a "Good luck Rangers, YATP" and that was enough. On here though I'm only interested in discussing Motherwell and our club and always try and be as constructive as possible.

We should be where Killie sits on the table I think we will have another draw but would like as all Well fans everywhere we want a win. Let’s all get behind the lads. COYW

It was Hibs for the darts and it came from our side of the fence sadly.

If we sign two fit strikers and a solid centre-back, we might just start to score more than we concede.

As most have said, thought we were by far the better team yesterday and if we had any kind of quality up front with Bair we’d surely have been walking away with the 3 points. Some horrific refereeing, particularly in the first half did us no favours, but Paton absolutely needs to take at least one of his two chances in the second half. There are encouraging signs but we have to get at least 4 points from the next two home games before we go to Aberdeen and Hearts, followed by Celtic at FP.

Never made game today so can't comment on performance but a draw not bad but we need to start winning games . I love this forum and appreciate everyone has own views but some of the negativity at times is hard to read. Let's try and be positive and hope for more success soon.....COYW

I appreciate St. Johnstone are not a great benchmark but I thought today we were the better team by a long, chalk and just lacked a real cutting edge up front.

Tam Courts. Paul Lambert. Stuart McCall. All far better managers.

Played well today. Get you to fuck.

1 win in 18 games. Get him to fuck.

He's here 5 mins and you're calling him a c#nt, give up your job in customer services, you're no cut out for it 🤡

Harry Paton is fucking murder.
