I expect this to be a really difficult one. Obviously, I am hoping for 3 points, but Dundee will be difficult. However, win that game and the Celtic game becomes huge.

I didn't think that we were at our best today, but still got the points and, once again, didn't concede. This team just keeps delivering. Great home attendance, though a very flat atmosphere. It felt like the crowd just expected Motherwell to win. I'm sure the atmosphere will build as the top teams come to call. I'm very much looking forward to the remainder of the season.

Stephen O'Donnell was excellent today, but I've gone for Slattery; not once did he go down and he was getting a bit of treatment from Utd.

Top 6 guaranteed in February. That is a tremendous achievement.

I really thought this was going to be a difficult game tonight. What a team this is. Scintillating.

That game was made much more difficult than it needed to be. After a tough, initial 20mins, Motherwell took control and should have been out of sight by half time. Just scored a lovely goal followed by the team having a series of missed chances. We really do have to improve our finishing. So many really decent opportunities were passed up. Even when not playing very well in the 2nd half, we still made chances and passed them up until Sam Nicholson did brilliantly in the final minute of the match to setup the 2nd goal (an OG). We were a bit fortunate in the 2nd half with some resilient defending and a bit of luck preventing Aberdeen from drawing level in the 2nd half. Still, winning by any means is still 3 points. 47 points at this stage means that the top 6 is pretty much assured, Europe is a real possibility, and a very high league position is still very much there for the taking. COYW!!!!

A difficult one today; Just, Longelo and McGinn were the pick of the bunch for me I'll give it to Just, even though he was withdrawn in the 2nd half.

That's the first time that I've heard any of the team mention a target of European football. In my opinion, his performances this season should have him in the Scotland squad.

Given it to Welsh for his all round performance. Plenty of others were in the mix, but Welsh for me.

JBA is very quickly becoming the stuff of legends.

I should also mention Callum Ward, he has proven me wrong. An assured performance tonight, and it isn't the only one recently. Well done to him for turning things around.

Wow, what a performance. Dominant from start to finish. It could have been more than 2, but the points are the main thing. Watt is a great player, he completely controlled the midfield. So calm on the ball, drop the shoulder, turn, play a slide rule pass. Sumptuous stuff. The whole midfield machine was purring tonight, on and off the ball. Slattery had his best game for a while; Just never stops, he ran himself into the ground; Fadinger too, a great find (thank you Mr Wimmer); wee Oscar did a great job too, sitting in front of the back line. At the back, Sparrow provides so much energy, as does Johnny K; SOD and McGinn absolutely solid. Up top, Said is scintillating at times. Such a tricky player and a well taken header. Dare we dream?

A very frustrating game that ultimately turned into a satisfying 3 points. As many have said, our passing was very poor in the first quarter of the game, as was some of the ball control. The introduction of Said and Sparrow injected a bit of pace and directness into our game leading to more openings and penning Dundee back for the majority of the 2nd half. The goal did feel like it was coming, and I'm very glad that it did. Ultimately, another deserved 3 points. A nice league position that sets up the next few games against Rangers and Celtic. Can we take 6 points. It'll be a very interesting 2nd half of the season if we do. COYW

Almost a year since this question was raised and various points made so, I thought that it was time to re-energise this discussion. For me, the way that we are playing now, is exactly what I was getting at when the question was raised. I reckon everyone will be extremely satisfied with the entertainment on show each week. The rising attendances seem to be an indication of satisfaction that wasn't there in previous years. I can say that I am enjoying visiting Fir Park again. Win, lose or draw the entertainment is high. Huge credit to JBA, the players and the board for seeing the way forward, COYW!

Not at our best today, especially in the first half where there were many misplaced passes and poor decisions being made. The second half was an improvement, and by the hour mark the team looked mire assured and managed the game very well. The 3rd goal was a peach and there could / should have been more. I think that this team has the potential to make this a very memorable season. We just need to find a cutting edge up top to make a real challenge.

Has to be SOD today. So calm under pressure with the ball at his feet. Slide rule passes all day. What a difference from the player that we were watching last season.

That suggests that 33% of the panel don't have a clue.

Agreed, the referee today was abysmal. Extremely weak. He allowed Livi players to come through the back on multiple occasions without any caution. At one stage 3 players had a go at Maswanhise and no cards dished out. Your point about the simulated injuries is spot on. This behaviour is so frustrating as a fan at the game, this sort of behaviour really needs to carry some form of punishment.

Yes, we certainly will, but I expect that we will on a good grass surface. That pitch today was very slow. Every time the ball bounced it died. Terrible surface.

Yeah, very disappointed with Sportscene coverage not showing the VAR lines for either offside "goal".

Yes, we will win.

I have given my vote to Slattery. He may not have been on the pitch very long, but the influence that he had during that time is why I have gone for him. Elijah Just also did well. The ball just sticks to his feet at times.

Absolutely! The introduction of Slattery changed the dynamics of the game. He drove forward and made forward passes that just weren't happening before he came on. So, very glad that he is back.

A dreadful 45 minutes from Motherwell. No energy, no creativity and wide open at the back. Must improve in the 2nd 45 or it is no points today.

I feel that we have a chance to take 3 points from this one. I would have been much more confident if we didn't have the ridiculous injury list, but I am still hopeful for at least 1 point and wouldn't be surprised if we take all 3.
