With hibs and aberdeen playing the old firm a win here would be huge for us.team selection and formation is anybody's guess.we really need to start finding a bit of form and ideally this is the game to do it.i would settle for a point the now.

Ojala is head and shoulders above carroll and should be playing before him,were in a tricky spot right now and need our form to settle and the best way for that to happen is having our better players on the pitch,which ojala is.

I don't think he's under any pressure but alexander needs to start putting a settled team on the park,there far to much chopping and changing being done.we really need to find a bit of form from somewhere or our season could unravel pretty quickly.

I think ojala has been on the bench every game since coming back from the break,I don't get why he isn't in the team,for me he's our best defender.theres to much chopping and changing going on,alexander needs to settle on a formation and stick to it and get our best players into it like ojala.

Really poor from us today,we know we're playing a team with better players,that's nothing new it's always been the case but the last thing we should be doing is making it far to easy for these better players,nobody can stop you running about on the park but there was to many occasions where our players just seemed to be strolling about rather than busting a gut to do basic stuff.since coming back from the break we look like a team that's struggling for fitness,there's to many players look out on there feet by about 60 minutes,I know we had a covid outbreak on the lead up to the county game,could that be the cause.

They have better players but that shouldn't stop ours from ball watching and letting players just run off them,there's no excuse when the basics aren't being done right.

It's just wishful thinking yorky lol.

Spot on,results have went our way since the break,we can't keep relying on that to happen,as it won't.i don't expect anything from today but we really need to sort out form out and quick.

Any joy were likely to get is by pressing them high at back,stand off them and let van veen get isolated and we've had it.we badly need midfield runners in this game,hopefully alexander will give cornelius the instruction to get forward.

I actually thought about jim hamilton when I was typing that post about tait,he acted like a complete areshole throughout that game where he smashed craigan,he was smiling at the east stand as craggs was on the floor.

I'm not surprised tait put in a tackle like that last night,I think it was his first game back at fir park after leaving,he done one of our players with a nasty tackle,it was karma his school boy defending cost his team the three points.tierney seems to have settled really quickly,that was a quality finish,it's early days but we might just have won a watch with his signing.

Decent point in the end but it shouldn't hide the fact that was another really poor performance,we look like a team that has ran out of ideas.i get alexander is trying to find a solution with his team selections but the sooner we get a settled team starting games the better.

We have got ourselves into a habit of shooting ourselves in the foot,we have been pathetic since the break.

Strange team selection yet again,on paper it should be fairly solid but it doesn't look like there much intent to go and win the game.if van veen isn't at the races and we don't get support up to him,it's going to make for painful viewing.

We really need to be taking something from this as there's a run of tricky games coming up.we have been miles off it since the break which has resulted in costly mistakes and missed chances,we need to start cutting out both and quick.im usually quite optimistic anytime we play down there but I'm not overly confident.i think it will be 1-0 either way.

Up until the break he was excellent,I don't think you'll find many motherwell fans that would disagree with that.i like him but the first to admit he has been poor since the break,our team as a whole have looked miles off it,I know there was a covid outbreak not long before the county game,I'm not sure if that is playing a part but our energy levels look like a team that's just back for pre season.

Ojala has looked the part and I really hope we can get a run of games out of him.we have been unlucky with injuries,every centre half we have has been injured at some point this season.i would be more than happy with any combination of ojala,mugabi and sondre.i don't get why mugabi wasn't involved today,away from home at tynecase in what was a big game in terms of league position was strange,we need our best players on the park,alexander needs to get a settled team on the park and not have 3 and 4 changes everygame.we really need a settle midfield as well,were this far into the season and we still haven't found the right mix.

Lamie did develop into a dependable player for us but sondre is a far better player even though he's been poor the last the last 4 games.i don't get the whole play carroll at centre back when there's far better options on the bench.alexander saying we were the better team is just nonsense,we shot ourselves in the foot and handed the game to an average hearts team.

You have a difference of opinion to me,your not coming across as obtuse or flippant for a second.lamie was a bombscare for a while and then improved into someone that we could depend on when he was in the team but I would still have sondre before him everytime,I do think he's been poor since the break,I don't think having carroll beside him is a great idea,we definitely need a settle centre back pairing to get the best out of the options we have.

I think he's played well in most of the games he's played,I disagree about positional sense,he's impressed me with that side of his game,he isn't the best in possession but he's just a typical old school defender,wants to defend first and foremost.

I agree with that,there's no doubt lamie has improved under alexander and I wouldn't have minded if he had signed a new contract but at the same time we have three centre halfs better than him and he won't be that hard to replace,he's a decent premier League player at best.sondre has been a really good signing for us but like the rest of the team has been poor since coming back from the break,the amount of times he sliced his clearances today was ridiculous.

Strange that mugabi was on the bench,he's only missed a couple of games so it's not like he wouldn't be match fit.hes been one of our best players this season and to go with carroll there and have mcginley in the team yet again is puzzling.alexander seems to have a tendancy of leaving players out the team for spells at a time after they have been either injured or suspended,we've seen it with carroll and slattery this season already.its time we got our best players into the team and try to go with a settle side if we can.

We're struggling in front of goals at the minute,the last thing we want to be doing is gifting the opposition goals like we did today,it's always going to be an uphill task getting back into games with the lack of goals in the team right now.if there's money in the budget to bring another striker in then we simply have to,we've put ourselves in a good position to throw it all away.i was pleased to see the changes in the line up today but alexander needs to find and stick to a settled team selection.

I'm not sure amaluzor is up to it but he seems to only get on the park when the game is gone,it's not really fair on the guy.

Beside the obvious in terms of goals,our style of play relies on a watt type,his work rate,hold up play and ability to come short and get us up the park is being sadly missed.our forward line is far to disjointed,I really worry where the goals will come from.
