Same for me, but I was able to switch to the backup player and it's all good.

I found out recently that companies like Opta that measure these things just count the number of passes each team makes rather than how long each team has the ball. So they can look a bit weird sometimes. We have easily been the better and more dangerous team so far.

Better football. Still a few times when they have punted instead of passing, but better than Saturday.

100% Looking sharper, faster and our wingers putting the fear into the Hibs defence with their pace and willingness to take on their man.

That's because Main is hiding (which he's being doing for weeks now). And then we do that! Get in...

This has Hibs winning 1 - 0 with a 91st minute goal written all over it right now. We need to get someone on who can score.

I hope Main proves me wrong, but he looks less likely to get a goal than me tonight.

I'd say that was Ojamma playing beside Higdon and McFadden in the slot.

100% this. We've never had a striker (or supporting midfield) that can play 1 up front.

If we're going to play Frear, Ariybi, McCormack etc. the first thing we need at the back is to find players who can make simple pass to them instead of hoofing it over their heads. McHugh is probably better than Hartley and Aldred in that regard (although it's not a high bar).

I've yet to be convinced he'll even return. (I hope he does, obviously, but everything about it feels like a playing career ending situation).

If only it was that easy.

Classic Main miss before the classic Motherwell lapse in defence.

He's done more than the new guy. And, if you believe Cadden (and why not) Frear has been working on other tricks the past few months.

Still scrappy, but came back into the second part of the half. Still looking rusty. Need to shake that off the second half. Established that, so far, Ariyibi unable to take a corner from either side.

Pretty much what I expected after a long break. Imagine it will take us the first half to get up to speed.

I recommend keeping the red wine out of your eye. Helps prevent the tears.

Rosco being fit already is good news. The original chat was he might not be available until early Feb.

Good stuff. Like 'Flow, I always remember how quiet we were at the end of 90 minutes. Never been more emotionally drained at a football match in my life. And then when Kirky scored so early on in extra time we knew it was going to be a nerve shredder to hang on. I'm exhausted again just watching it.

Right now the MFC TV site is saying "Live video for users outside of the UK/Ireland, live commentary for all users." for the Ross County game, so we might be in luck after all.

I'm old. I forgot that people these days need to have every piece of humourous understatement or irony punctuated with smileys.

Cheers everyone - (I suspect UBH would have minor issues with the original Adidas one too, right enough!)

Is the Adidas one any good? I thought about investing in one of those at the time, but in the end didn't want to risk it.

When I saw in this year's accounts that we still trade under The Motherwell Football and Athletic Club Limited, that made me happy. Seeing the "portholes" and the Athletic Club logo when you approached Fir Park was all part of the experience.

It feels like McCormack has been around for years (I suppose he has), but he's only 32 and, if he stays fit, should still have plenty to offer. Davie Cooper was 33 when he signed for us and he just about managed to put in a performance or two. I'm more interested to see if the new signings change the way we play or if they will be forced into the current system.
