The fact that Faddy doesn't still doesn't have a club shows that we didn't make a terrible decision in not re-signing him. Trying to compare Faddy and Law, however, is pointless. Be as well trying to compare Pettigrew and Erwin.

At least we don't have a man advantage any more.

The League Cup has not been kind to us for as long as I have been following the team. No idea why that should be, but we never seem to shine in that competition.

I can almost feel that excitement from here.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we win this one given Accies form, home advantage and the fact they play on what must be the worst artificial surface in Europe. I'd certainly take last 2 seasons' final league positions over a League Cup semi-final or similar, but then again I probably still haven't got over the shellacking we took in our last CIS Cup Final.

This was the Scotsman's take on it from the "Best and the Worst" of this week's SPFL (ignoring the fact it wasn't Kerr, it pretty much sums it up for me):

I have no doubts about Erwin's ability and would be happy even to see him start with Sutton. I just don't like the idea of dropping a guy who has netted twice in our last two games. The bigger question for me right now is regarding Ojamaa i.e. is he injured?

We're playing a form team that is 3rd in the league with double our points away from home on artificial turf. Anyone of those factors would merit our strongest starting 11.

Wouldn't drop Sutton now he has started scoring again.

Pleasing.

He's not without his flaws, but has done an incredible job at Fir Park on ever-decreasing budgets. Like many who have flourished in similar environments, his next challenge will be to see if he can handle a bigger budget and the transfer market risks that entails. Not sure a backroom job is necessarily the best next step, especially as the Palace management team must be likely P45 candidates in the coming months. I fully expect us to be looking for a new gaffer, however, for the 2015/16 season.

Last I heard there were at least 2 injuries to unnamed players - you'd have to think Ojamaa is one of them given his recent lack of game time. Funny thought that people complain about McCall's lack of a Plan B and about his weird formations. Much rather win the Accies game than this one.

Whoever joins Cardiff will be on the dole before the end of the season.

True, but it's rare that we dominated them the way did in that 3 - 1 game. Having said that, I'll be happy to be played off the park in this one and steal a 0 - 0. The key to situations like this is step it up in the 2nd half and hope the opponents run out of steam after their Euro exertions. (Still think we'll lose, though).

Apart from sectarian bigotry, a sense of entitlement and a paranoid conspiracy about everything you mean?

As good as Dundee Utd are, the proved last season that they are just as capable as the rest of us at shipping a boatload of goals from time to time (losing 4 to St Mirren springs to mind). I think we'll lose this one, but I don't think a hammering is on the cards either.

Guys of similar stature to McCall who applied last time. In recent history there have been around 40 candidates applied for the Motherwell position each time it became vacant - and the doesn't include the people who didn't apply that the club has reached out to. Maybe Faddy has his coaching badges and is looking for a change of career

If McCall does leave, there will plenty of quality candidates ready to take over. After the Malpas debacle, I'd be surprised to see an internal promotion.

I always thought this would be McCall's last season with the club. He took over a team and helped them finish 'best of the rest' and then did it again with the team he rebuilt. However, I thought he'd fancy one more crack at the Cups before he moved on. Of course, you never know when an opportunity is going to come up, but I still think he'd be a better gaffer than back room assistant.

What job does he have?

Steve Kirk to the Albion Rovers Board.

Only if the guy injured himself sending it.

A few years ago, there was a trainee at a bank that fired off millions of pounds worth of stock trades because he thought he was using a test system. That's how you properly screw things up. I doubt there are many people on here (myself included) who haven't sent an email they later regretted; either intentionally or accidentally. Call it a "learning opportunity" and move on.

No.
