Darren smith was the guy I thought would always make it shame injuries hampered him.

Bizarre subs bench really don't need 3 strikers on it. No Thomas is puzzlingly unless he has an injury.

Anyone but calderwood would be a lazy appointment. He also hasn't been successful anywhere in a while.

Easily Kennedy. Can see why ainsworth got it cos he had a few runs. But Kennedy was composed at the back and snuffed out most attacks that came his way.

Sorry lads I'll take the blame for that goal. Jynxed it like. Anyone but dougie fucking imrie

I'm taking no news as good news with regards to our performance so far?

Have we signed someone or no?

02 never works in fir park for some reason fine every where else in motherwell but fir park is some sort of dark spot.

Also thought leitch helped boss the midfield as well. He is improving game by game.

Should have been more comfortable than it was but a good performance right up until the 70th minute and then as usual we started to fade. Managed to hang which is encouraging. Thought moult McDonald and Thomas should great chemistry moving the ball around the edge of te box well. New boy looks like a promising impact sub. Should have won by more but after good performances against utd and Aberdeen without getting the points, will take points at all costs.

Really poor performance. Won this basically because we were fitter and had more depth. The most worrying aspect of the performance was the lack of link up play between midfield and the strikers. This only really changed when McDonald came on. Clarkson did virtually nothing.

By no means an encouraging performance today but some of the abuse in the stands was absurd today. To old folks stopped watching the game and just screamed abuse at barra the whole match but refused to blame the players. Another person berated law the whole game(quite rightly) and then moaned about his lack of confidence!?:S. The best one though was a guy who wanted to take the loss cos he couldn't be bothered with extra time. Just mind boggling. I'm all for voicing ur complaints to the manager but at some point you have to just back the team, if ur a fan, and choose ur moments to voice your disapproval at what the manager is doing.

We just can't grind out games under barraclough.

Na he's a good impact sub until he bulks up I see him being similar to Murphy in the fact that he's not quite a winger and not built to be a striker.

I think the biggest difference this season may be the addition of our strength and conditioning coach I know he was brought in with barraclough but a full offseason with him around the club will help immensely.

Always liked jim tried hard and remember getting excited by him signing as he was really good in the champ man the year before!

Went along as currently exiled in edinburgh thought it was a good game. This is clearly a team playing lower than they should be. However they played some good football the second goal was a cracker. Was nice to see burrows there taking pictures and helping out. Shows we really are a community club. Also nice to say I've seen well win a cup in my lifetime!

Don't worry we've got fraser Kerr to fill in...... Failing that should be a good chance for Thomas to get some extended first team action

Id hope ainsworth signs again. Suttons mobility has always been an issue for me but he is a goal scorer I just dunno if he'd be happy with a role on the bench or if can afford his wages for a coming of the bench player

He is still under contract so he would be sacked rather than kept on?

Looking at that squad a keeper is a must I like twardzik tries hard but having a big commanding keeper made a difference. I am pretty confident Erwin will sign on for at least a year so he can improve. If ainsworth isn't coming back a winger is needed. Another midfielder as I feel Keith has only one season left in him.

Think he has until January at least had a poor start but once he got his signings in things improved. part of the reason we ended up in 11th was because ross county went on the run no one foresaw. I'm not 100% sold but he should be allowed to get his own squad before being shown out the door.
