Ya Bezzer!

First half was decent enough but the second half was our biggest problem this season - not being able to defend. Losing a goal within 2 minutes of the restart against 10 men that should have been preventable has lost us the match. We've had 1 clean sheet in 15 matches and that's not good enough. Over the close season we need to completely revamp our back line and midfield because we are hopeless when the opposition has the ball in our half. Don't get close enough to people, don't make tackles, we press the ball in the opposition half but in our half we hand out invitations.

Alexander's record against Rangers isn't too shabby. I'll take one 1-6 defeat for 3 draws out of four.

I'm happier with a Saturday fixture. If some other nefarious force could move it to 3pm with 1 day's notice I'd be even happier.

We could catch them at a good time if they play a weaker side and/or have Euro glory on their minds instead of taking each game as it comes. Let's just hope having suffered the last match at Fir Park we get a better performance/result.

I don't get this. You'd rather Motherwell lose out because of what Rangers fans say? They are intolerable anyway, even with 1 trophy in a decade or whatever it is. Motherwell fans should be focused on Motherwell.

Las was fantastic for us over a long, long period. I'd even go as far as saying that the decision to steal him from under Kilmarnock's noses for his 2nd spell was a historically important one for the club.

Not good but I think we were pretty fortunate with the regular season fixtures. Surely we aren't going to lose three times to Dundee Utd away from home?

Was just looking over last seasons stats and appearances and apparently someone called Harry Smith played for us 5 times - for a grand total of 17 minutes on the hallowed Fir Park surface. I literally have no recollection of this chap at all and I remember Bart Verheul and Abel Thermeus! I mean Tyler Magloire doesn't loom large in the memory but he is there and Aaron Chapman is remembered for all the wrong reasons but Harry Smith? Who was he!? Does anyone have any Harry Smith recollection they'd like to share? What's your favourite Harry Smith memory?

Well I absolutely think you should always be pushing to improve, but despite the naysayers, we have improved. We've gone from relegation certainties to safety to Top 6. I will be looking for improvement next season. We need better players and better technical ability on the pitch and better performances. But given the improvement we have shown I think the manager should get the opportunity to do so.

I think it does if Hearts, Rangers or Celtic win the Scottish Cup. I believe the top two go into the Champions League, the Scottish Cup winner/highest placed league side goes into the Europa League and the next two league places go to the Europa Conference.

Aberdeen and Hibs have fired relatively successful managers for not playing 'attractive' football and paid the consequences. I think fans need to be careful about what they wish for. Shaun Maloney is playing a different kind of football to Alexander and they are worse than us and have hardly had a shot at goal the whole time he's been there. Alexander is undoubtedly a football pragmatist but I think given the quality of the squad, which is poor, I think he's done a decent job. I think a lot of our fans are a bit parochial. They are blaming Alexander for issues that are endemic to the whole of Scottish game and that are the result of unhalted regression over decades. No one is saying we are a great team or great to watch but I think that's more than a bit unfair and some cases completely delusional.

Posters were saying they wanted us to lose so Alexander couldn't 'gloat' about finishing Top 6. If fans want to have a discussion on the plummeting standards across Scottish football I'm all ears. I've been beating that drum for a while. Blaming it on Alexander is a different story.

You didn't enjoy last week? You didn't enjoy today?

Alexander took over - saved us from probably relegation then finishes Top 6 this season beating out teams like Aberdeen and Hibs with massive budget advantages. Yet we get absolutely roasters on here going on about protests, sacking the manager etc. It's embarrassing. You guys know people read this? A bunch of people on here need to have a long hard look at themselves. I'm happy as a fan, I'm happy for the team and manager and I'm happy that a lot of so called supporters are actually bealing that the team got the result today.

Awwww, make a fool of yourself? Hope you didn't put money on your 'predictions'.

First of all who the fuck are you ? Second, get it right up you.

YEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last minute equaliser, Top 6 and most of our 'fans' on here will have their faces tripping them.

I don't want to pour cold water on a win but we won yesterday because we killed the game in the second half, it wasn't fun to watch but it got us the 3 points. If we'd played like we did in the first half St Mirren would have scored again, simple as that, and who knows what the score/result would have been. Also St Mirren were terrible defensively. I've said all along in this poor run that we weren't as bad as a lot of people were making out, I think we also need to display a little bit of caution on thinking we are 'a football team' on one good result.

The middle 3 and front 3 were all good today. Think you could give it to any of them to be honest but I went for Cornelius.

A point probably does it but I think in these situations it's basically a cup final and you need to go out for the win. Maybe the games haven't been great but I don't remember our record there as being especially bad. I heard there was some ridiculous awards went against Livvie today but they've actually lost the last three matches after being on a good wee run. We might just catch them at the right time.

Two sides of Motherwell there. Played decent stuff first half but crazy bad defending then second half, kill the game and look for a goal on the break. Did well to come back from 1-0 down. We were much the better team up to that point but you could see our game go right off and the confidence drop. Got the wee bit luck that we haven't had recently with St Mirren hitting the post when they should have scored and the keeper conceding a poor goal from Goss. It's stating the obvious but we were much better with Donnelly out the team. We really need to sort the defence out though because that's ten without a clean sheet and the standard of goal we give away is so, so poor. Overall can't complain too much about entertainment tonight, think a point probably gets us Top 6 and a win definitely does.

One of the reasons I'm willing to give Alexander more time is I think we are still recovering from what Robinson did to our club - which was reduce it by several levels of professionalism. The lack of quality and ability is there for all to see. On those criteria we are no longer a top level club. Imagine Robinson's tenure without the players our youth development gifted to him. Last seasons off form Allan Campbell would improve our midfield a thousand fold.

We want to keep the good run going through the play off matches. If we qualify Kelly and Clark will probably get their chance in the WC build up.

O'Hara isn't the worst player at the club and I might have been inclined to keep him but I'm not going to throw myself into the smoking crater of Mount Vesuvius if he leaves. Even if he was the best player in the world he misses about half the season most of the time. 35 starts in 69 matches over the last two seasons doesn't scream 'absolutely essential'.
