Ya Bezzer!

If we get a development fee for a striker that's scored in 3 out of 36 appearances this season we should be doing cartwheels.

In a novel twist, I'll actually be going along to watch and support the team, even though we are shite.

I don't. If we lose the play offs we deserve to go down. We need to take our medicine.

Sutton. Stepped up and took the pressure penalty. A few seconds but the most any Motherwell player did today to step up to the plate. Also the brief time we looked any good was immediately between Ainsworth and Sutton coming on and that comedy goal we gave away.

Club are making a lot of noise about appealing McDonald's red card but from what I saw he raised to his elbow to the player. McManus 'tackle' was a disgrace. Lasley and Pearson got away with a few as well despite being booked. These are supposed to be our experienced leaders setting an example to the rest. Our discipline this season has been absolutely disgraceful. How many red cards is that now this season? Could end up in double figures at this rate. At the other end of the scale you have guys like Conor Grant who look scared to get a bruise.

Well that was really a summation of our season. Terrible away form, lack of urgency, no confidence, not doing the basics, rotten defending, lack of creativity, inability to hold a lead, missed chances, calamity goalkeeping, tactical ineptitude, shocking player discipline, wrong starting XI and so forth. Wasn't really that surprised with the display, it was pretty much typical of pretty much every away match I've seen this season with the exception of the 2nd half of the Kilmarnock game. Baraclough has two play offs matches to save our season and his job.

Aberdeen have released Declan McManus. Might be interesting to see what level of football he is playing next season.

What's he claiming then because it must be a hell of a number mangle to get us to third with our terrible away record.

This is how the league table would look if it had been reset to zero when Baraclough took over. 1-Celtic 50 2-Aberdeen 43 3-Ross County 31 4-Inverness 30 5-St.Johnstone 30 6-Partick 26 7-Dundee 24 8-MOTHERWELL 24 9-Dundee Utd 22 10-Hamilton 20 11-St Mirren 19 12-Kilmarnock 17 Don't know GD so Inverness-St.Johnston, Dundee-Motherwell is alphabetical.

Not listened to the full interview yet but I think our dear leader has got a little bit confused. Our home record since he came in is pretty good though so perhaps he means if we'd replicated our home form away from home for something like that. At a glance, I'd say Aberdeen and Celtic have better home records, Partick and Ross County broadly similar. Other than that I don't know what he's talking about frankly.

Lawson has started 8 league matches out of 76. Hardly a surprise.

The Brazilian boy they brought in is 6'4. I'm guessing it might be him!

Better goalkeepers out of contract this summer - Jamie MacDonald for instance. I've also been pretty impressed by Derek Gaston at Morton whenever I've seen him. Think Thomas Cerny only signed up to the end of the season for Hibs but might be wrong about that.

The funny thing is St.Mirren have been reasonably good away from home, it's there home form that's got them relegated. I think it was 6 out of 7 wins are away from home. Of course our away form is abysmal, so something has to give.

Chic said on the radio Bolton Wanderers were at the game last night as well.

Kilmarnock have conceded 14 goals in the last 4 matches. Partick have handed out a few thumpings at Firhill this season (4-0 Ross County, 4-0 Inverness, 5-0 Accies). St.Mirren have been conceding goals lately as well (0-5, 0-3, 0-3). You never know what might happen.

Said on the radio their wages have been slashed due to a relegation clause. Doubt there will be much gay abandon!

Craig Moore and Craig Reid are both contracted next season but what happens with the latter remains to be seen.

At the Partick game a few weeks ago I was sitting next to a couple of German scouts. Don't know what club it was though.

Agree. A Fitzpatrick/Fagan level player.

St. Mirren have been so dreadful this season they are 11 points behind us! They are relegated, on a downer and have nothing to play for. They've already released a bunch of experienced players before the end of the season, have the worst home record in the league and the poorest form in the league outside Kilmarnock. We also beat them on their ground last time out. If we can't be positive about this one.... Of course it's a must win but we've got to go there confident of victory and goals.

I was at Partick first time round this season and we didn't really have much of a support and we got a bigger humping that a few weeks ago when 1,500 turned up, so I think it's just our away form in general rather than the number of eyeballs watching. Anyway I have a 100% win record at whatever that stadium is called so I should go and I'll let you know.

Yeah. It can only go to goal difference if we win 1 and Killie lost 2, or if we win 1 and draw 1 and Killie draw 1 and lose 1. I think. I only got 3 hours sleep last night. Still possible though.

I don't think you can be wrong about comparing one player to another. It's an opinion. BTW Magennis got his 7th of the season tonight so maybe you are right, Erwin isn't that prolific.....

Erwin for me. Involved in the first goal and scored the second. McDonald was also very good and Hammell has made a huge difference. Worth noting that although Erwin took his goal really well it came from a great tackle by Hammell with Killie attacking and then a good ball played up the field by the aforementioned. Good stuff.
