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.

A number of good performers today, but my vote went to Hammell who defended well, and of course laid on both goals.

Terrific result today, and a very professional performance by the lads. We attacked well, fought well in midfield and defended very well throughout. Its true to say that Hibs were rank rotten but we still had to win the match. Jones enjoyed a solid debut, some good touches and I think he'll show up even better with match fitness. The nalty miss was crucial, a goal for the Hibees then would've changed the whole dynamic of the match. Thankfully 'Prince' made a James Hunt of it! Have to compliment Stuarty for a great tactical switch when he brought on Jonny Page to man-mark wee Zemmama. He was finding space too often but after the substitution he wasn't seen again. Well done lads, good show all round!

This is probably for most neutrals a stick-on draw, whereas us Well fans will expect defeat given how poor Hibs have been, whilst the Hibees will be full of doom and gloom themselves! So who will be right?!! Team-wise I reckon Jones will debut from the start, but Grella will have to make do with a spot on the bench. I expect the following side to start tomorrow: Randolph Hateley Hutchinson Craigan Hammell Humphrey Lasley Jennings Jones Murphy Sutton It has all the hallmarks of a dour struggle, but I reckon we can pinch it 1-0.

Very sad news indeed, thoughts with your family at this time. RIP Wellworn.

Aye that Clyde cup tie was a killer. 3-1 up and cruising, then Nevin ripped us apart. Horrendous OG by Flavell put them ahead in extra time, and who can forget the mad goalline scramble right at the death that confirmed our defeat?!! It was my first full season going to games, saw only three wins in the eleven games I was at!

You ARE able to just buy adults tickets for behind the goals at £15. That's what we did.

There's no doubt that 'Watty' fully deserves his move, and I think he'll do very well at Hillsborough. I'm sure Wednesday will be back in the Championship sooner rather than later, and I've no doubt that Mark Reynolds will be a major part of that. Good Luck mate.

Hutch was pretty solid on his first appearance of the season, but for me Randy was our MOTM. Some great saves and a very commanding performance.

It was a very dour game in the main, with both teams having wee spells of pressure but neither side doing enough to deserve the win. From a Motherwell point of view we did defend pretty well for most of the game, and big Randy had a few great stops. Going forward we didn't show much to be honest, apart from a few bursts here and there. Its clear we desperately need attacking reinforcements as thats now 404 minutes since our last SPL goal. Happy with a clean sheet, as on many occasions we could've lost a sloppy goal and got nothing, so that is one positive at least.

Unless we can bring someone in I don't forseee any changes for tomorrow. The only one I'd like to see is switching Hump to left wing, playing Hateley wide right and playing Page at right back to counter ICT's height. Whether McCall does is another matter, probably not. I think it'd work though. It will probably be very close tomorrow, with few goals. The safe bet is 1-1 but my positivity forces me to say 2-1 Well!!

Same team as Sunday for me, unless of course Fitzy decided to leave. In that case Forbes would probably start. United aren't in great form, but if Goodwillie comes back they'll be a greater threat. It'll either be a low scoring draw (0-0 or 1-1) or a narrow win for us.

Superb draw for the Well, mon the Threave! Been to Stranraer and Stenny so let's have a new ground, plus an easier tie of course! Oh aye, and the bigots paired together is a tremendous boost too! Well done the bearded rockers!!

Buckie Thistle/East Stirling or Threave Rovers/Stenhousemuir at Fir Park please!

Both Sutty and Murph were excellent, but my vote went to Jenno was different class throughout, and a cracking goal too.
