Ya Bezzer!

Accies haven't won at NDP for 10 games. Guess who it was they beat on the 19th September 2015!

With just over 3,000 supporters even turning out for games these days the Well Society doesn't seem like it's on to a winner so people need to start asking themselves what happens next. There is a lot of money to be made in the business world from taking over failing businesses where the value of the assets of the company are more than the worth of the company itself. Hutchinson may be benevolent or predatory, I don't know, but there has to be some kind of Plan B as a contingency against the Well Society being unable to raise the money and as far as I know there isn't one except a "see you later, now pay up" from Hutchinson.

Without doubt.

Probably disappointed that we were winning and he had nothing else to complain about. Thought Louis Laing was a bit 'clunky' at right back today, better than Gary Miller though who had a shocker. In any case I think right back is one area where we should be shopping for come next season. Ben Hall has done well for me, Cadden is a bit rough round the edges (he reminds me a bit of Darren Smith) but I think it's definitely worth giving him game time to see how he progresses.

This. Since McGhee took over Scott McDonald has been superb. Was at the centre of everything today, including defending when we had our ropey spell. Immense.

Deserved the win. First half we were the better team and were chapping at the goal but just couldn't get the final touch. Definite penalty, only our 3rd of the season. Great pass from McDonald for the second and I thought Partick's heads went down and they looked well beaten at that point. Moult might have got the goals but I thought McDonald was immense today. Looked all very comfortable until Ripley threw in one and then we were on the back foot for a bit, but in truth Ripley didn't have much to do today, perhaps just as well!

If we won today, we'd only be 4 points short of last seasons final points tally with 10 matches to play. So that to me says we have definitely improved this season, regardless of league position.

Partick have been pretty tough to beat away from home. Two 0-0 draws away to Aberdeen and Inverness and a 0-1 defeat to Celtic. Before that they beat Dundee Utd and Kilmarnock, got a draw at Dundee and beat St. Johnstone. Pretty good record, of course if they get a result against us it will be because we are the worst team in the world. Actually I think Alan Archibald has done a tremendous job at Patrick as he's had to completely rebuild the team twice and kept them competitive.

See above.

Here's another one since you like them so much. Since Mark McGhee took over we have taken 19 points from 16 matches, while Hamilton have taken 14 points from 17 matches.

Accies have two wins from their last 20 league matches.

Stats just seem to confirm that our greatest asset at the moment is a front two of Moult and McDonald. The team we play should be set up to suit this front two.

Geographically Motherwell is better placed than somewhere like Kilmarnock in terms of getting to other grounds. It's also close to the motorway and is a major rail hub.

We have a bunch of games coming up that are very winnable in my opinion. If we can win two out of four I think that will put us in a relatively comfortable position after 30 matches. The play off place will probably go to the wire this season but I think as long as we can keep the psychological advantage of having 2 or 3 teams below us in those positions we should be OK in the long run.

Everyone knows that the general principle for staff and players is "the more you do for Motherwell FC, the less you are respected by the support". He should consider the opprobrium a sort of badge of honour.

Aberdeen have quite a small squad and Hearts are probably being run with strict financial overview by Ann Budge. Example - they brought in Souttar and Cowie in the transfer window and Billy King and Gomis went straight out on loan. Dundee Utd have brought in 'name' players like Kawashima, Riski, Sinama-Pongolle, Demel who will all be on decent money and they have one of the bigger squads in the first place.

Catching them at a good time, no wins in 7 and St. Johnstone have gone from looking like dead certs for a top four place to potentially being dragged into the relegation zone. St. Johnstone have had a very, very good home record over the past couple of seasons but they've not had a win at McDiarmid since early November.

I have him on 98 league appearances.

40 does it most years. 9 out of 15 seasons. Record tally for third bottom is 44 points, the only time a team has got more than 42 points. I'm guessing though that due to the compact nature of the league this season this years points total to escape the bottom two spots will be one of the higher ones, perhaps even a record total.

Maybe it's not a coincidence that we don't do it at home.

From the opposition view - this result surely relegates Dundee United. 13 points behind with the worst goal difference. Pretty much snuffs out any hope they had.

Aren't two of them against St. Johnstone. We are now only 3 points behind them and they are in terrible form.

Would take a point tonight, no problem.

There is 7 points between 11th and 4th. And 36 points to play for.

Criticising his managerial ability is fair game but there are an awful lot of people who aren't really interested in his managerial ability and are simply using the first available bad spell to air old grievances. It helps no and in fact hinders any potential recovery when the club is in a very difficult position, on and off the field. Instead of supporting, far too many people have the knives out. Don't tell me what's happened at Fir Park in recent weeks didn't have any effect on the players on Saturday.
