I think the manager has done well with a squad most on this site suggested was useless. If he can motivate them to do this the "fire the Manager" crew will not be happy!!!!
Ill hold my hands up and say i've always said I don't rate the squad. I'm still not 100% convinced because that is two seasons on the trot we've collapsed. However you canny argue that results change the dynamics so time will tell.

Incredibly, we're currently 4 points off 3rd.
Biggest part is 4 games to go and we do not face the OF, others round about us may still have to do.

Waiting for the "YOu'Re 4 pOInTS OFf 3Rd And YoU HOundEd KeTTs!" from his press cronies...
Im waiting for the lurkers who say fuck all when we are in freefall, wait till its safe, then accuse every one else of being panty wetters. Mind you tonight anyone can call me anything they like nowt will diminish my pleasure of us turning them over . I detest the OF with a passion that will never be surpassed

Its quite possibly unprecedented.
I actually don't remember it happening in my 50 years supporting them. However that might just be my 50 year old dodgy memory

To be fair, I thought St Johnstone were toast at Xmas......
If we all pray for St Mirren to go down, you never know the power of prayer.

Dundee United are on 40 points already.
16 clear of St Johnstone and 13 clear of Dundee.
Not saying they couldnt get dragged into the bottom 6, but its highly unlikely they will be in any danger.
I did say it was Extremely unlikely, Hibs blew a 15 point lead...😁

I think the top 6 and bottom 6 are what they will be at the split. Can't see St Johnstone finishing bottom.
Its a long shot but I think DU could fall out the top 6, apart from their win over us they are on a piss poor run too.

I don't think they'll go down, passed ball well, st johnstone also got good win, it's going to be interesting at foot of table, thats why a win for us was great.
said that last night at the game, Dundee are far from the worst team we've played at Fir Park. Any one of 6 possibly 7 teams could end up in the play offs or go down. Even DU, had we beat Dundee Utd at the weekend we'd both be on the same points. I think Dundee Utd are extremely unlikely to be in the mix but they've lost 4 from their last 6 so they need to get their act together. With so many teams so close to each other we will all cut each others throats so a real unexpected could end up going down. If St J can beat Dundee at the weekend the cats is right among the pigeons. Id love it to be St Mirren 😁

Last night was the most I've enjoyed a game in a while.
Anticipation before it and butterflies at points, as opposed to nigh-on apathy.
Players seem to enjoy it more. Must be much more fun with a bit of creative freedom and actually being pro-active, rather than being asked to cede possession and sit in.
Casey's goal straight from the training geound and had a near identical one not long after.
Our play encouraged the fans, which in turn encouraged the players.
With such high intensity its inevitable we'll drop off at some points, but I think then its important to be more clinial and make it count when we're on top.
If you add first half yeaterday and second half at Tannadice, its decent progress in a week.
Correct, fans will accept it if things go wrong and they can see what the teams trying to do. No matter what any manager says it's still an entertainment business and I think a few fans may have stuck longer with SK if we lost but we're pushing teams hard, playing a bit of football and creating chances. SK stuff was utterly turgid. Games with not a single effort on goal even against pish. Main priority was not to lose never to win. No width to our play, boot it long all game, it was utterly mind numbing. Even if we hadn't got the winner last night most Motherwell fans, though disappointed, would have seen some entertainment and that we may be progressing. None of that was happening under SK. Last night I enjoyed my first game in months. Even the Aberdeen win we played for 15 mins thankfully got two goals but the spent 45 mins being dominated by 10 men from a team who didn't win a game in 15.

Dochertys post match interview on Sportscene was utterly delusional. He thought Dundee were by far the better team and created enough chances to take all 3 points. Ido agree I've see worse teams at Fir Park than Dundee but his analysis was a mile out.

Love it when they prove me wrong. Never saw that coming. Night and day to the utter, utter dross we've watched for months. No failures in the team every one of them burst their arse for the cause. Losing the late goal it could have been so easy to retreat and try and hold on for a point as we'd have done under SK. However they kept pressing forward. When its a single goal the opposition is going to throw the kitchen sink at us. I don't care what the SOD haters think , and I agree he's been poor of late , but he covered every part of the pitch tonight and put in a lot of saving interventions. I sincerely hope the squad is better than I give them credit for but its been a bloody long time since we play football on the front foot and that was enjoying to watch, although nervy at the end.

Dundee have concede 20 goals in their last 5 matches.
Motherwell 0 then.....
I have zero confidence in the abilities within our squad so will be no surprise I think the best we will get is a draw but expect a defeat.

I liked the gaffers pre match conference - an offensive team who care about possession. Yes please.
Be interesting to see who makes the starting 11 in coming weeks. With likes of Kaleta, Koutroumbis, Thomson, Slattery, Andrews, AP, Masawanhise, Plange, Disckson all being attack minded players we could well see wholesale changes .
Even likes of Paton, Watt may have something to offer with a different approach.
One things for sure there's a reasonable amount of options to pick from.
Fingers crossed.

I'm sure our luck will run out at some point and we will go down but you're right you are a glass half empty type...until it looks like we are going down ill hope it turns around.
There's nothing between a lot of teams, e.g I don't think Aberdeen are much better than us or Dundee, so a bit of fight and who knows.
MW can certainly earn some kudos if he gets them playing effectively.
Thats my biggest concern , there is nothing between the teams from 4th down the standard is abysmal across the board and we never look like beating any of them.🙁

One thing which is alarming is when we have been in this kinda situation we have always had a couple of players at very least one up front that could at least get a goal or two to get us out of bother with our frontline we havent got that kinda player our forward line is all over the place.
Correct and even if we had we have a completely ineffective midfield who offer them no supply.

Although we are in the shit at the moment I’m not too worried just now because I believe we can scrape togethers the points required to stay up if we can find a bit of luck.
There’s a few winnable games between now and the split, I don’t see us going on a 10 game losing streak and others will take points from each other.We've lost our last 6 games never looked like winning them. We taken 8 points from our last 12 league games. There are 12 games left. If we get the same return points wise that will give us 39 points at seasons end. That will put us in the play offs or take us down. Where these winnable games are I'd love to know. We've won two games out our last 12 and never looked like winning 9 of the other 10. I accept I'm more of a glass half empty type. Dear god I just don't see where this turn around is coming from. I think the similarities between us and the Hibs team that collapsed from January, after being 15 points clear of the play offs spot in January, until seasons end are uncanny. They kept saying they had winnable games and they never appeared. Id dearly love us to fluke any kind of win tomorrow but I just don't see anything other than a defeat because we have a poor squad.

Agreed.....would take 10th right now if offered
likewise but I have a real fear we will finish below that. Although we improved on Saturday we lost to a Dundee Utd team that didnt do much other than score a solitary goal.

It is ridiculous.
It's also why we have a bloated squad, because even with 30 players, we struggle some weeks to find a fully fit matchday squad.

That would be very disappointing.
Any substance to these rumours? Or is it idle speculation?
I suspect its nonsense , cant see any substance behind it. Mind you he just couldn't have been happy with our style of play under SK, what striker would be. Theres a million miles between that and not wanting to play so I suspect it the usual internet bollocks. Same shite that says Barry Ferguson is getting the Rangers Job 🤣
Update: seems the Barry Ferguson thing is a possibility until seasons end. Very strange. Hope he has a great run and they give it to him permanently. Should ensure years of fun ahead. A detestable wee thug.

so do you think had SK stayed he would have stopped the rot? I know its conjecture but what I know is ive seen more entertainment in 3 games than i saw with SKs team in 6 months . Had he not resigned I would have sacked him.
