I feel for Lamie - I don't think he's been treated well. First season initially played out of positon as a left back. This season came in, played well and was dropped like a stone for months (a bit like Slattery) He's proven to be our best left sided centre half - has his flaws like all Motherwell players. Don't blame him for wanting to leave and work with a mgr who rates and wanted him. This is an area I feel GA needs to improve - dropping players for months at a time with no real reason has to stop. Be interesting to see if Dundee get relegated if he decides to stay with us.

This is exactly how I feel . His results over the 18 month period we spot on - well done . Just willing him to talk about trying to play more footy going forward - that’s all it would take to get fans on board

I echo this , being top 6 deserves a level of respect . Well done GA for achieving the league position . but its the eye bleeding footy that’s too much to take . If he as much hinted at needing to improve the style over a longer period of time i could prob cope but it’s almost boastful that it’s only about results .

Mcall was superb for us - particularly when we was managing rangers

Mugabi is a centre half , he's not cut out for right back. If he plays it should be in centre half. If S'OD is the best player in left back (and he is) then it's a disgrace that McGinley got a new contract - both Carrol and McGinley should have been moved on. I'd be happy to bring in young Johnstone at right back, put S'OD on the left and then pick from Mugabi, O'Connor, Sol, Ojala for centre halves.

KVV was at his best today . several had a really great game but KVV has a touch of class and looked back to his sharpest

Great result today and much better overall performance. I'm not calling for the managers head so please take this in the context it's meant. Today shows some of the key flaws in his managerial approach. Dropping players like Slattery for months at a time with no obvious reason hurts us. Todays midfield was a key reason we won. Also brining Tierney back into the team , a guy who looks dangerous every game he's played for us - why he's not had more game time is bizarre. Overall we have the bones of a team that could be sailing high in the top 6. Had he played our better players consistently rather than the 'tombola' I don't think we'd be worrying about top 6. Delighted with todays performance (will try and forget our defensive flaws in the first half) but please GA get your shit together, play our best players and keep some consistency in the back 4.

can it be you're bday next week as well. Much better performance. Keep Slattery, Goss, Tierney in the team next week please.

that'll do very nicely - well done KVV

we seem to be getting out shit together playing our better players. makes a big difference. good to see Tierney back as well.

agree - we've lost the spark and energy from the first half

get woolery or Tierney on to freshen things up

great effort from Slattery - he's had a decent game today. Thought Efford looked slow to react to the rebound

well done young Dean - I thought taking a touch would have cost us. Decent entertainment - very poor defending by both clubs - could be a few more goals to come

our defensive set up is StMirrens biggest strength Mugabi shouldn't be playing right back, centre half yes, right back no. He's too clumsy

im not against 3 at the back but if we do we need wingbacks in midfield - otherwise the amount of space invites teams onto our final 1/3. Shame as we had started reasonably well

disgusting defending. Outrageous amount of space on the wing to get a cross in. Followed by poor poor defending

Good to see Slattery and Goss in the team - the tombola has done well this week. I would never put Efford and Shields together up front - to be fair I wouldn't play either but both much of the same player. Would be far better with some one like Tierney playing behind the strikers.

The poor run of results will end. We'll pick up points, reason being the quality of the opposition isn't any great shakes either. A key issue is the poor style of football that we've endured, has been consistent for 12 months. It was accepted when Lady Luck was on our side, not so much now. I don't see our approach changing. GAs job will be secure for anything above 9th position. If we end up top 6 many will be happy to keep him for more of the same. Not a reality I like.

Jim Goodwin did a very good job with them and earned himself a step up. He always comes across well and seems very capable. As such the squad he assembled at St Mirren are capable of beating us. They are equal on points on merit. Equally it's a very winnable game for us. No clue what the score will be. No clue who will be playing. Suspect it will be a game low on quality - can only hope we get stuck in and get a glamour of hope for the rest of the season.

I'd be happy to see us get back to what has worked well and press, don't give them an inch and push them into their final 1/3. Being able to string 2-3 passes together wouldn't go amis either.

completely with you - he's been dangerous ever time on the park. Sadly he can't play anywhere in the front 3 which I suspect is the reason he doesn't get a game . He'd be straight in my starting 11 - offers a spark that we otherwise don't have.

I’m disappointed in terms of our signing and resigning of players . in the last 12 months weve lost Campbell , Watt , Lamie and now Ohara - appreciate Campbell moved on to better things but the others we could have retained if things were different . we resigned S’Od - one of the few positives . but resigning Mcginely , Carrol amongst others makes no sense to me . fairly sure we’ll lose salttery as he needs to be playing or he’ll find another club .

appreciate not everyone is a raving fan - personal view he's very decent player and would generally be in my starting 11.

100%. All 3 should have game time. Slattery proved to be an asset. Tierney has caused problems when he's come un. As for Shaw it's a complete waste to bring in a player, pay a wage if he's not going to get time. In reality I don't believe any of them will play.
