A win on Wednesday and we go seven clear of two teams and five clear of another.That puts a lot of pressure on them. This relegation is far from set in stone.
You’re absolutely right.
A win v Accies or St Johnstone would’ve put us within touching distance of it not being a concern anymore.
We’ve picked a helluva time to implode.

Wright will get them to shit fest their way to safety.
Unless we can get 5/6 players back and up up our game massively I don’t see how we’re getting out of this.
-
There surely can’t be any Motherwell fans left that don’t think we’re fucked?
Incredible to think Jordan White could relegate us.

Couldnae make it up

Robinson and McCall on sportsound there. Really interesting listen. Robinson still speaks like he’s the Motherwell manager.

You wonder. Probably nail the coffin lid shut, knowing this lot, but at least we'd feel better for a wee while.
Actually, 'knowing this lot' might be half the problem. There's a total disconnect between half this team/the manager and the fans. But it's the same everywhere, so reason or not, it's no excuse.
I actually do think our season would’ve been very different had fans been allowed in as normal, some of the performances both individually and collectively just would not have been accepted.
However, as you say it’s been the same everywhere and other teams have managed to be less shambolic and adapted accordingly.

Sorry, I'm struggling to see any positives.
If there's player power in action, how are we gonnae fix that? They've seen Robinson off, Lasley was gone in 90 minutes, now Alexander's struggling.
If - and it beggars belief - everything's rosy, we're dealing with an entire team of injured/ill players (half of whom we've no real clue when they'll return), another team that's clearly not up to the job and a bunch of January signings, who are either dross or MIA. There's nothing to suggest any of our 'problem' players are likely to suddenly find new form or attitudes at this late stage, and there's nowhere left to turn.
Same with the manager. Alexander only needs to keep us up, no one expects anymore now, but we don't expect anything less either. If some of the squad, especially the ones we really need, aren't performing for him, he's screwed. And if he persists with tactics that are getting us hammered, there will be questions about his future very soon. Whatever the situation, it's his job to find a way to survive.
Worst thing is, we have zero influence over this. We're sitting at home watching a disaster unfolding and no amount of positivity or negativity on our part will make the slightest difference.
Great post.
I’ve never seen a squad/team/situation in as much need of a good “booing” in my life!

Makes you yearn for the Clays, Heneghans, Roses and McHughs etc who were all deemed not good enough.

Not as angry today as I was last Sunday. Think I might have entered the “acceptance” phase of our situation.

I said it earlier and I will say it again.
Something is rotten in the state of Motherwell.I’d agree with that

Apparently only Lionheart O’Donnell will be back from the “injured 18”.
-
We’ll need 5/6 players back in order to keep it to a 2-0 defeat.

Winter recruitment as bad if not worse than summer recruitment. Difference is the summer recruitment was into a team that finished third and seen as enhancing it. The winter recruitment was for a team going to be in the mire until at least game 36 of 38 and needed to provide new options and shore it up. Both failed and the winter has proven to be even worse despite being more critical and off the back of no lessons learned.
So the big question is who is behind the recruitment as they need binned pronto.
-
Unless we have a Lazarus-esque recovery from Gallagher, Campbell, Donnelly, O’Hara and Lawless etc I just don’t see how we’re getting out of this now, and even with them back it’s still a big ask.
-
Question is, do we keep Alexander if we go down?
We were on a hiding to nothing with the injuries today but sticking with 433 was just ludicrous! You would’ve thought we might have at least tried to make ourselves hard to beat. Apparently not...
Was Alexander behind the January signings? If so would you trust him with a rebuild? Where did we find clown shoes Chapman? Was it via the same system that identified the January signings?
The whole squad is rotten to the core and many of us detected a whiff of this months ago and were dismissed. We’ve got 1 or 2 max who give a shit and the rest of them are a disgrace to the profession.
Unless many of these mysteries injuries clear up from Wednesday onwards this team is taking us down as there’s barely a player among them you’d want in the trenches. Many look like they’ve given up the ghost already. And the manager too possibly?

I’d like to revise my prediction. I don’t even think we’ll get 0.

We’re going down

Why are Foley , Nolan , and Smith not on injured list club gives out ?
Good point. Until 30 minutes ago neither were Campbell, O’Hara, Mugabi and Seedorf.
-
How much are we wasting on wages for Nolan and Foley in particular?
What’s happened to Smith now too?
What’s the date of return for Gallagher and Lawless?

What are we doing at training to have so many injuries this is unreal
We’ll never know. We get zero credible or reliable updates.
-
Holy shit! That starting 11 is absolutely horrific! O’Hara and Campbell missing also which has came from nowhere.! Subs bench offers nothing either!
What was the point of signing Nolan and Foley again? I take it Smith is now injured?

Given our injury list just now, making predictions about team line ups and results is a real lottery. My fear, which is shared by a few others apparently, is that if we get beaten today we'll take a nosedive in confidence and consequently form. 6 points would be great but 0-2 is by no means impossible. Its now time for GA to earn his corn.
As I said in my original post, regardless of circumstances, we need 6 points minimum pre-split.
We’ll probably need minimum 6 points post split also in order to finish no lower than 10th.

I was as pissed off as anyone after Saturday but on the evidence of what we've seen so far since Alexander took over I think it's quite a leap to say you could "easily" envisage us losing the next five games.
Hamilton was awful. Utterly awful, but as yet it's one awful game out of eight. I think it's a touch early to go into full blown "we're doomed" mode just yet. Might still come but based on what I've seen I would anticipate the smattering of wins, draws and losses we've seen thus far.
For some perspective within a few months of taking over mid-season Stuart McCall was on the back of 6-0, 5-0 and two 4-0 losses. When McGhee came back and stabilised Baraclough's team he still presided over a 6-0 and 7-0 loss. Awful, abysmal defeats are not in themselves uncommon for Motherwell managers in their opening months in charge.
Need to wait and see. I seriously hope I’m wrong with my points gained prediction but the growing injury list has only lessened our chances of the required haul.

can the replacements be any worse than the pish we watch week in week out
Sadly it’s entirely possible.

There was a cross put on a plate for him 6 yards out in the 93rd minute at Parkhead and he practically headed it in to his own feet.
Im going to go out in a limb and say he’s murder!
