At the end of the day ground it out, which is all that matters really. Hearts have just been beaten by Peterhead and Accies drew with Albion Rovers, for a bit of perspective.

Its good that we've been scoring plenty of goals and they seem spread throughout the team. Whilst I wasn't really a Samson basher, a huge frustration was him holdibg up play and taking forever to release the ball. Carsob seems keen to get his head up and look immediately to start an attack. McHugh and Bigi look a decent pairing. They might get less time on the ball in the centre of midfield in the Premiership slightly, but I like the methodical approach and constantly recycling the ball and retaining possession, rather than aimless/rushed balls etc. Scottish crowds tend to be slightly impatient with that, but if we've got the ball, they can't score. Look to have a bit more pace/strength in the team now too.

Bowman again. 2 decent finishes.

Saw an official tweet earlier that the car park would be available in a first come, first served basis.

Could be decent business with the "sizeable sell on clause"

Not sure about Club 100 (Fir Park Club), but the Electric Bar has been renovated over the past year or so and is pretty decent.

Avoid relegation and play-off. Semi-decent cup run, although this is very much down to luck of the early round draws. Last year's draws were harsh.

Ayr away please. Wouldn't mind Cappielow either.

Yeah, never had any negative feeings towards him either. To his credit, he comes out and confronts things, whether it be on Twitter or interviews etc, when it could be easier to just hide. I think some have alluded to this too, but there's sometimes a certain snobbery towards him because he was an 'ordinary' fan. It doesn't help either that his role gets exaggerated. Everyone starts somewhere. The club isn't perfect, but there have been certain positive things put in place, particularly off the field, which would be more within his remit than player/managerial appointments etc. Don't know him personally, but he clearly has the club's best interests at heart and I've witnessed him in the main stand getting just as exasperated as the rest of us during games. I think he's an asset tbh.

Bowman finally scores again. Is that his second in Well colours now? Hopefully an end of season boost which sees him kick on next year

I guess it comes down to whether we could bring someone in who could match/better Ainsworth in terms of quality/attributes etc - even if it is as an impact sub etc. I don't think we could, he's a useful player to have, so its basically down to wage demands.

Knowing the media, there will probably be an exclusive linking us with Mackin.

I think the change of shape, combined with the sub, killed us. We were utterly dominant, then just seemed to give them the run of the midfield.

No words. What can you actually say anymore?

I'd like us to try something similar to the '85-'87 strip. I guess it would be similar to our 2015-2016 Macron strip (same neck etc), except replacing the sash with a band/hoop and the 'MFC' with the club badge. If NB are the new kit manufacturers, then it wouldn't be a million miles away from the new Liverpool top either, except with the obvious modifications.

Don't really know what to say apart from I hope to fuck we stay up. Not been one to berate Samson, but can't really excuse the flap in the first half.

Was Brian Wright not nicknamed 'The Windmill'? Maybe it was just my dad who called him that, but did he not used to run with his arm going round and round? This would be around when I first went to games 84-85? So all very sketchy.

...For anyone else that travels/is from outwith the local area, just noticed that the trains are all disrupted tomorrow, both via Hamilton, Bellshill and Inter-City. Is the X11 the best alternative?

Wouldn't say we are down already. If we can stay off bottom, then as we've seen before, we could get lucky and things just ckick in the play-offs. Also, post split any points ICT gain are at the expense of our rivals. A long way to go yet, but a win here would give us at least a bit of breathing space as far as bottom spot goes.

A lot of good shifts today, particularly up front. Pressed high although admittedly dropping a bit deeper 2nd half, although that's when we had our best chances. Bowman was a good target man and Frear looks as if he's developing into a good asset.

Was touch and go for this, but heading through for a ticket just now. Expect nothing, hope for the best. We should have taken something from our last two games, here's hoping our apparently slightly better defence recently keep it tight for the full game.

Couldn't make the game yesterday, but just saw the highlights. YET AGAIN, for both goals, we allowed the opposition player about 10 yards of space to get a cross in.

As a side note. Jim Stewart is being released by Rangers. Are we not currently looking for a GK coach?
