If someone had offered me not losing our points advantage versus Aberdeen, Livingston and Hibs I’d have taken their hands off. Had we got a point but Aberdeen had won, we’d have felt better about things but been in a worse position, so I’ll take it.

Any chat on whether or not Long is fit?

If I remember correctly the English window shuts at 11pm, with the Scottish one at midnight... so it could be a late one

Jordan Jones to Middlesbrough, Marvin Johnson to us... sorted

I’m glad there’s a bit of rain forecast in the run up to the match. At the start of the season the pitch was really dry and sticky... at least this time the players should be able to get the ball out from under their feet.

Aye, it felt down compared to previous seasons there. Assuming we sell out our 1600 at St Mirren, and maybe have some overspill as well in the other stands, I can’t remember a time when we had that much. St Johnstone towards the end of the season with Higdon etc felt like a lot as well. What was the official count at Nancy?!

Other than cup semis or finals, when was the last time we had such a big away support?

Yes, can we put to bed ever seeing “Polworth” and “lazy” in the same sentence?

Yes, the big fella strolled 99% of the game, but got caught in possession a couple of times in dangerous positions.

Proper stunning result

I agree with the comments from a few people about the below par performances from Hartley and Tait and yesterday. If Grimshaw and Mugabi come in for the Aberdeen game, then I’ll give Robinson a bit of credit for good use of the squad, in that they’ll be nicely rested and injury free for Wednesday

Long has to get it, but Campbell was good and I like O’Hara too - always looking for the ball, and covered a lot of ground

Normally I’d say we have no chance of Griffiths on loan. But given how close the title race is - combined with how desperate I imagine Celtic are to win it - is it such a crazy idea to think that they may feel helping a decent team to strengthen (to potentially take points off rangers) without hurting themselves (cause loan players can’t pkay against them) isn’t a bad shout?

I agree with you, had to look him up and don’t even remember him playing for Kilmarnock. Having said that, the last time I was genuinely excited by a new signing was, ooohh... Ross McCormack

I feel like I say Gillespie or Gallagher every week. Probably Gillespie kept us the three points

Gillespie or Gallagher for me, went for the keeper

Very satisfying game, much better than the St Johnstone game all round I thought. Scott took his goals well, and as others have said I really liked Gallagher and Mugabi at the back

How many Saturday nights during the last x years of watching Motherwell would you have taken being able to greet about a sub-par performance in a 4-0 win?!

Cole got us on the way, and was a handful throughout

I also think Carrol / Tait and Long / Cole are the selection decisions the manager has to make. I think Tait will keep his place, but Cole won’t

Great stuff, congratulations

Classy Liam Polworth. Demonstrated not just the things we know he’s good at, but made a few 40 yard defence-covering runs as well. A goal would have topped it off. Honorable mentions to Campbell, Hartley and Gallagher.

A good guy and I like him being our manager

Big game tonight... which I think is more important than simply getting through a round of the league cup, as it’ll kind of set the tone for the early part of the season.... and hopefully give us a lot of confidence going in to the next league games. If there’s one thing I hope to hear tonight, it’s, “you’re getting sacked in the morning!”

No real stand-outs, but Gillespie is the reason we left with a point
