Usual story. Very comfortable but need to score some goals to kill the game.

Of course we don’t want our players doing that but my point was that he got a lot more stick than I recall any other player getting. And the officials got off almost Scot free. Had they dealt with it appropriately Slattery would have got his yellow right on the spot.

I think Fadinger adds a little steel to the midfield that Watt and Priestman don’t offer.

I’ll be happy with whatever JBA decides. Tough choice But isn’t it great that we are struggling to pick which one to leave out because they are all so good.

Considering the number of players from all teams who have done this sort of thing prior to Slats incident. He has taken a disproportionate amount of flak, especially considering that JBA is one of the few managers (only?) who has stood up and addressed the issue with his own player for all to see. We are done with it now so they can all go take a flying duck to themselves. I hope Slats plays a blinder and scores a hat trick …………. To match the one I hope JT scores ! as a point if interest, autocorrect changed flying duck to the phrase I was trying to avoid and I had to go back and manually correct it 😂

We have definitely done a lot of great work but as JBA keeps reminding us amd we all know, we have to keep up and improve over the last 11 games COYW!!!!

I think 13 of the 18 we gave up in the first round of fixtures

Killie and Falkirk scored 2 each at first park in first round of fixtures

JT been a bit on the quiet side of late so tomorrow would be a good time For him to burst back into life. I’d Like to see us try a different kick off tactic. Just give the ball to Said and let him have a go at dribbling thru the opposition to score 😃

Over the last 6 games Motherwell 14 Celtic 13 Ramgers 12 hearts 10 hibs 10 falkirk 9

Jen’s moving into politics when he gives up football.

I think it’s fairly certain that no matter how much we could offer JBA any decent sized club can easily top any monetary offer from us. So pretty much it’s all Down to JBA and how much is he enjoying his work, how much does he want to stay and see how far he can take Motherwell and is he confident and patient enough to wait another year or so to move into a much higher paid position. Hopefully MFC are already making a short list of options to replace JBA when he leaves. Is that our current assistant? I don’t know. Whoever it is has to continue the approach that JBA has established.

Definitely, if We win both games it piles the pressure on rangers and Celtic. They have a cup game as well as a league game to kick lumps out of each other. its hard to see us winning all of our remaining games but likewise it’s also hard to see any of the top 6 teams winning all their games. This is why it is important to focus on one game at a time. You can only win one game at a time. I didn’t mention Hearts but we need them to be dropping points. With respect to finishing above the arse cheeks we already have that within our own control.

When is Johnny K due back for selection?

We are due to have 3 away and 2 home post split, which works in with us playing Hearts and Celtic at Fir park with rangers, Falkirk and hibs away. So not sure that they can mess with us.

Obviously hoping we get all 3 points in our game but I’m also hoping that the arse cheeks kick lumps out of each other on the Sunday, resulting in perhaps some red cards and maybe a few injuries to weaken them over the next few games.

Is it no Saturday yet? 🥱

I’m assuming post split is home: Celtic and Hearts away: rangers hibs falkirk Ideal outcome, last game of the season versus Hearts at Fir park. Winner takes the title

Based on my Facebook feed looks like the media(?) ramping up JBA for Celtic next season. Living here, in the land of conspiracy theories, I’m immediately thinking this is a ploy to unsettle our players for the run in to the league championship. 😡

… and their midweek game Tonight to pick up some injuries and red cards 😃 edit: a draw or a loss for Utd will numerically confirm us as top 6

I’m not liking us get too much attention need to keep grounded and focused.

It’s shame Slats done that cause he had a great game and was staying on his feet even when being fouled. Personally I think it’s not a big deal. He made a bad decision, there was a chat with Jens, you’re not very likely to ever see it again. Next question.

I had him in The sweep on the central branch supporters club bus that day.

We control our destiny to get second place by winning games and maintaining better GD than rangers. We play hearts twice but trail by 7 points so we do need Hearts to drop an additional point outside of us beating them twice, in order to win the league. as demonstrated by today any team is capable of dropping points so the thought of Motherwell winning the league may be described as us being in dreamland but it certainly not the impossible dream. COYW!!!

Not man of the match but a mention for Ward having a couple Of decent saves to keep the clean sheet.
