Ainsworth for me, but a mention for straker he actually looked a decent player last night

We owed that mob a pumping..that was an excellent performance from us tonight it could have been more than 4, and straker actually looking like a footballer as a bonus where did that come from.

I agree in part with that, and if he was part of a team with a large squad with half decent players all competing for a start then yes he could be nurtured and given limited starts to develop him. But its Motherwell and the squad is down to the bare minimum and a lot of the players who have been regular starters this season have not exactly covered themselves in glory, so we need to maximise the resources we have. From what we have seen fromThomas in his limited apperances so far, he seems to offer a lot more than our regular starters, midfield and up front so in the position we are in just now can we afford not to give him a lot more game time. If that means giving him a regular start then thats what needs to happen, the only way he is going to develop as a player is by regular and sustained game time, he will learn feck all sitting on the bench or the odd 5 or 10 mins sub apperance here or there, get him starting and let us see what his real potential is.

The club have decided he is good enough to earn a new long term contract so he should be playing on a regular basis ie starting every week.

Keep the faith guy's we owe this mob a pumping and i think it will be on Friday night, hope we get right in about them from the 1st whistle.

Thats a change for you, its normally August you predict that our season is over.

Thats because all we done was pump high balls over the top for him to chase, and he is feckin pish trying to do that. Get the ball crossed in from wide and have him run on to it, that's where he is most effective and scores most of his goals.

Summer football, its a no brainer sitting / standing watching the game on a warmish pleasant evening or sitting / standing wrapped up in several layers of clothing, wet and freezing your balls off, drinking luke warm Bovril to try to get a heat. Aye its a tough choice

We need some width as well as pace in the team, so i would have Johnson and Ainsworth starting with Sutton in for Erwin as he is more effective, scores more goals and will hopefully get himself on the end of the cross balls that Ainsworth and johnson are capable of delivering. Erwin has potential but he gets bullied off the ball to easily.

Thats a big ask, at least another 6 wins from 10 games left, not impossible but we need to keep the momentum of the last 2 weeks going.

If its Hibs or Falkirk yes, but if it's Sevco then we will probably bottle it as usual against them, but that said pumping them in the playoffs would be a great end to the season.

Anything from this game is a bonus, but we seem to be in better shape than a few weeks ago so never say never, our record up there is not too bad, respect to anybody making the trip up there.

+ 1 for me as well tbought johnson was excellent today

2 points dropped for me,the sending off and Skippys equaliser with the last kick of the 1st half swung the game massively in our favour. But we never got in their faces enough so a big chance missed. That said its 4 points out of 6 and i am happy with that, plus we are off the bottom so onwards and upwards. Thought straker was ok today, but Erwin was pish all game, Johnson looks a good prospect thought he was excellenr today.

Left by mutual consent according to the official site, so maybe an agreement re money due was agreed, but i would be surprised if it was for the full outstanding term of his contract

Sorry for him ....Naw , allegedly had potential when we signed him but never showed any of it, and turned out to be a feckin bomb scare anytime he was played. He has been a wage thief for over 2 years now, Hollis was keeping him out of the team FFS, so a good move to punt him, albeit a year too late.

If he gets the Rangers gig and brings them to Fir Park then he is fair game, ie he will get the same dogs abuse as any other Manager of either of the ugly sisters.

We already have a good prospect at left back, Luke Watt should get his chance to step up, the rest of the team should stay the same.

Hammell may be out for rest of season, groin injury flared up again. No confirmation, story told to me at game on Saturday from reliable source who was told at the AGM.

A lot of great efforts today but i am going for Lasley, he put in a great shift in midfield. Special mentions for Josh Law and Skippy

...straight red for that

If he contributes to keeping us in the premiership he can kiss as many badges as he likes

Seems to be be mentioned on twitter https://twitter.com/...fsrc=email&s=11 daily record running the story as well now http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/motherwell-close-sealing-sensational-fir-5234206

Out of his depth...A bit like you then,when trying to post any positive and well constructed comments On this forum

Totally agree but on this forum,there is no chance of that happening.
