I see no need to change the team on Wednesday, except for any injuries. We might even be able to strengthen with Saunders and Jones possibly fit enough for the bench. Its usually tight when we play St Midden, they are like Accies in that they make it awkward for their oppoents and are big and strong. However they are able to pass it and are unlikely to resort to off the ball fouling like the pointless wee team from across the River Clyde! If we play to our strengths we'll win, with 2-0 looking like a sensible prediction.

Absolutely 100% right.

Its to the players and managements enormous credit that we have recovered so well from the humping at Greyskull. It could've ruined our season, but to recover with back to back wins is tremendous, with the prospect of another three points on Wednesday too.

I thought Gunning, Las and Forbesy played well, but my vote went to Hutch who was excellent throughout.

Thought we thoroughly deserved the win yesterday, the only drawback being we didn't kill the game off by scoring at least one more. Accies as usual tried to waste the game with a series of petty fouls and blatant thuggery, and although Crawford Allan was generally okay I felt he was lenient on some Accies players. Skelton went though Murph on more than one occasion and should've been off, and the same could be said for Paixao who dived, moaned and fouled his way through the game. Despite Reid's accusations it WAS a nalty and some refs might even have showed a red card. Good defensive display all round, and despite a late mis-kick Hutch was superb. Here's to another 3 points on Wednesday!"

Any win will do me, but there are so due a pumping from us, and doing it tomorrow would be very sweet. Team wise I just wonder if SMC will make a couple of changes to freshen it up. Hammell is fit again and Hump will be desperate to start. That said we played well on Tuesday, but for a change its a nice selection headache we have. We should win, and I reckon Foprbes is due a goal given his efforts recently. A first Fir Park goal for 'La Renard' too!

Fuckin delighted with that result! Chuffed for Stuart and the lads after Saturday's debacle, this will do wonders for their confidence. Fantastic that Franny Jeffers scored too, should hopefully silence his critics. Anything else........oh aye...... GET IT RIGHT FUCKIN UP YE BROON YA LYIN AULD BASTARD!!!!!

The Well team lines up thus: Randolph Hateley Craigan Hutchinson Gunning Lasley Jennings Forbes Murphy Sutton Jeffers Subs: Hollis, Hammell, Humphrey, Page, Casagolda, Pollock, Smith Not sure why Jones isn't even on the bench. Injured maybe. Blackman starts for the Sheep.

I'd get the players in tonight and tomorrow for extra training. Folk spent their hard earned money to watch us get pumped today, we need to arrest this slump quick smart or the Top Six will become out of reach. If not and we go out the cup, apathy will set in big time. A very very bad day.

Guys, I advise that you send a personal message to Flow and Leeann Dempster. Flow is the MFC Media Relations guy and a good Well fan, and Leeann is (I think!) the Chief Executive. Both are very helpful and accomodating people who should be able to organise something for you. Enjoy your trip, maybe I will see you at the Celtic game!

Aaah the enigma that was Sasa Curcic!!!

I can't see Jeffers starting to be honest, and if Lasley and Hammell are unavailable through injury then Murphy will have to start. Remember we are already without the suspended Saunders. I would partner Hateley and Jennings in a holding central midfield, and allow Humphrey, Murphy and Jones to do the running to support Sutton up front. This being the case I'd have Page at right back and Gunning at left back, assuming Craigan avoids injury for Northern Ireland of course! So, here is my team: Randolph Page Hutchinson Craigan Gunning Hateley Jennings Humphrey Murphy Jones Sutton If we get anything positive from this game it'll be frankly amazing, given our record against them. However the League Cup Semi should raise our confidence enough to suggest we could give them a game. I'd be much happier if Lasley is available, and if he is we can pinch a point. If not, it will be very tough indeed.

This will be the third game out of five since Ross Forbes 'goal' a year ago that John Fucking Gilmour will run the line at Rangers v Motherwell. Are they running out of linesmen or something, or are they still slapping us down for our public criticism of that decision? Very poor stuff indeed.

Sadly it probably will be, as Sky will take the ICT v Blue Bigots/Green Bigots and the BBC are likely to televise our game. Like the Sheep v Pars I'd expect a Sunday 3pm kick off. Let's hope they reduce the prices and the club organise free transport, otherwise our support will be much less than expected.

A rest for Crags and Las tomorrow, and even with Hammell out too we should ease through to the quarters. Randolph Saunders Hutchinson Page Gunning Humphrey Jennings Hateley Jones Murphy Sutton 3-0 I reckon with the strikers back amongst the goals.

As long as he doesn't become the useless c**t up front I'll be happy!! Welcome to the Well Franny, first SPL goal at Castle Greyskull please!

We did play very well tonight, but for Christs sake what is the problem with our shooting?!!!! I'd have them back out tonight practicing their shooting because make no mistake, our profligacy in front of goal is going to screw up our season big time. I think the abuse Murph got was OTT, but sometimes it looks as if the ball is too heavy for him! Just rattle it son! It may all come good and the goals may flow, but right now that's six blanks in our last nine games. We have plummeted down the table and are now 8th, when even a half decent set of results in the last few months would've seen us Top Six easily. A lot of our fitba was great tonight, because Killie have proved themselves to be a decent outfit. Eremenko and Taouil are superb on the ball, and we did well to limit their chances. However, what a feckin shocking goal to lose at a time when we were right on top. I'm bloody annoyed tonight because we've thrown it away and I can see our season going to the dogs. I hope I'm wrong though! Its not a knee jerk reaction to losing tonight, we were crap at Perth and reportedly worse at Tannadice. The Accies game was dire as was the ICT match, all games we failed to score in and collected only two points from. Its fingers out time Well, otherwise the apathy at Fir Park will only increase. Under 3700 with a decent Killie support says it all. It will only get worse too, unless we start doing the necessary in front of goal.

Am I right in saying that we can still sign someone outwith the transfer window if they are free agents? If so then maybe that's the route we're taking.

My main concern, apart from Killie's good form, is that the games turns out to be a bit like 'after the Lord Mayor's show' as far as Motherwell are concerned. After putting in a great shift on Sunday in a prestigeous game, I just worry about the fitness and spirit amongst the players. Hopefully my fears are unfounded, but I wouldn't be surprised if we made a couple of changes. If we have a new face in the squad the you'd expect him to feature, along possibly with Gunning. However I also think McCall might hold off from too many alterations until the Stranraer cup tie, where we are more likely to get away with doing that. If Sammon goes then it certainly increases our chances, although Eremenko (available for this game before serving the rest of his ban), Taouil and Kelly will provide enough of a threat to us. It should be close but I think we'll pinch it 2-1.

Good point sir! Look at the two incidents and its clear we were hard done to in both cases.

Lots of great performances today, I thought Sutty was great as was Las, but my vote went to Jenno who was the boss in midfield. We NEED to get him on a long term contract ASAP.

Have to say I though the team were terrific for most of the game today, we passed the ball well and looked assured. I will disagree with eddiemunster (no offence!) regarding Hateley, who for me anyway was excellent in his best position. Las and Jenno were immense throughout, and for the most part our defence was solid. Fantastic strike by Las, and what a great celebration amongst the Dossers legions when it hit the rigging! Just a shame we conceded when we were on top, but as MJC correctly pointed out, you had a sinking feeling it would pan out that way. Overall we deserved better than we got, this 'glorious failure' feckin sucks!! Mon the Well, let's take it out on Killie on Wednesday.

Any team can win any match on any given day. Yes it would be unlikely, but just imagine how we'll all feel on Sunday night if the Well can do it......

I've never known such aparthy in the lead up to a semi final. When I think back to the Easter Road semi in 2005 the old 'welltrustfc' boards were jumping! I know things haven't been that great recently, but this is a chance for us to enjoy a day oot at Hampden roaring the lads on. We don't get enough of those to be low-key about them! I'm right up for the match, despite Perth on Wednesday! Mind you we've never had good results prior to our most recent semis, so it should have no bearing on Sunday's match. Its fifty years since we beat this mob in the cup, and we've never beat them at Hampden. What an opportunity to re-write history.... MON THE WELL!!!!!

Perhaps many folk are waiting until pay day before buying their tickets, which are on sale until Saturday I think. Reckon we'll have a minimum of 4000 at Hampden, hopefully more though. If there's 20,000 there then we will out-shout the blue filth. Let's make an impact in the stand whatever happens on the pitch.
