Don’t you just love it when the opposition gets a man sent off and then we score right away. If anything knocks the stuffing out of a team, that’s it!! We almost made it 3-0’at half.

I thought Killie had scored, watching it in real time but as soon as they showed the replay of the goal, polworth looked offside. Not by much but by VAR standards, I immediately said “offside”. Took VAR a wee bit longer than me to come to that conclusion

Agree on Longelo. Not man of the match but a much much better performance from him. Also thought Slattery had a much better game today. Going for Just.

He was on the bench so maybe just making sure he didn’t get Crocked by Killlie player.

Looks like we got thru that game with no additional injuries to worry about, hopefully.

Another nice goal

I think we’ve switched off a bit. Need to take advantage of this and score as many as we can

Has new guy touched the ball yet?

Wise move taking JT off. They’re liable to crock him

S A I D

Looks like Livi stopped before the HT whistle. gave up 2 goals against Dona in stoppage time to for 3-2 down

65/35 possession for us 11/5 shots for us 6/0 shots on target for us but doesn’t feel like that as I’m watching the game. We certainly picked up a bit after the first 20 mins or so but stats make it look more comfortable than it was.

Looked a bit dodgy at times but hopefully can go on to score some more now.

I barely finished typing a text “let’s not get over confident” 😂

There ya go!! That’s more like it

We are struggling a wee bit today

Looks off

We should be signing a CB anyway regardless of Welsh situation/timing

I hope Stephen and his agent are harassing Celtic to get him back here on loan. Benefits Welsh, (keeps him match fit and in the shop window) benefits Celtic (as in saving some wages + increasing his value) and benefits Motherwell. (Quality player in the squad for remainder of the season)

Hillarious response from JBA. “Concrete rumours and concrete speculation” 😂

Still baffles me as to why Celtic played him in the cup game.

Agree, we know top quality will move on from us. All we can do is try have best contract conditions in place to hold them as long as possible but at same time guaranteeing that we are financially rewarded when they do leave.

I’m not sure what JBA’s career plan is but I think it might be more in the direction of managing in EPL or mainland Europe rather than either of old firm teams. Now would Celtic be a stepping stone to help him on that path or a diversion? I think it’s more impressive doing what he’s done with Motherwell than doing anything with either of the uglies. Another season or two doing the same or improving us would be very impressive indeed, making us the Scottish Bodo Glimt. The club may have to have faith and invest some money in order to maintain what we have going just now. Nothing crazy but perhaps more than planned. The increase in crowd sizes is something I’ve not seen in all my years of supporting Motherwell. Finishing higher up the league means more money. Advancing in Europe would be more money. All not guaranteed but very possible from what we have seen in a very short space of time. I’m willing to bet if we can keep this going for next season, the season ticket sales will be thru the roof

Based on the article it at least looks like they won’t make any move till end of season amd our first task is to keep what we have during this window amd perhaps improve playing squad. we then face the same battle again when we get to the end of the season. I’m hoping that we will be featuring in Europe amd that the thought of how good can we do in Europe might be enough to keep JBA and the squad together for another season since we do have them Under contract. (Most of them I think)

With Shankland out for a bit JT has a decent chance to capture top goal scorer for this season. another few Bob into his value at end of the season I’d like to see us keep this group for next season in Europe, assuming we get there. Perhaps talk with the likely transfer targets and convince them to stay to see how well we can do in Europe then they can go after that
