We realistically need one win. If we can't get one win then we don't deserve to stay up but I strongly suspect we'll be OK. Lot of work needs done though. We need a McGhee Mk I change of culture at the club. A professional bench mark needs set.
-
We shouldn't be losing 4 goals to a poor Kilmarnock team. I was a bit worried that we didn't have a game last week. You get the impression some our players go into holiday mode pretty quickly.

There was a case for it when we were on a winning run. There is no case for it next week.

Gallagher back next week please.

Has now leapt above Andy Roddie in club league goals.

Mon' the Barry!

I don't like plastic pitches but I think clubs should be allowed to decided for themselves whether to have one or not, as long as it meets the requirements. I certainly don't want a situation where clubs are denied access to the top level for having a plastic pitch. Not only does it deny teams from promotion on merit (we've been down that road before) but it also probably just means grass pitches that aren't well maintained due to expense. We've seen that at Fir Park in the old Battle of the Somme days. Just cos it's grass doesn't necessarily mean it's better. The truth is in the long run we'll probably have one at Fir Park. Grass pitches are just too big an expense to be justified for clubs our size in the long run and at some point it will surely be cut out when the cost and benefits cross each other.

Describing a 200+ career goal striker as pish is a real ooft moment but then following that up with by describing Stewart McKimmie as pish is hilarious. Won everything in the Scottish game multiple times, a European honour, three major international finals, 40 caps, 600+ club appearances. You'd get down on your knees and pray for McKimmie/Malpas as full backs in a modern day Scotland side. To be fair Graeme Sharp was absolutely pish for Scotland as were a lot of the Anglo players at that time (Brian McClair, David Speedie etc) who seemed to get picked over guys like John Robertson who didn't get capped until fairly late on in his career, McCoist who struggled for ages to get a regular start, Frank McGarvey who barely featured for Scotland and Frank McDougall who never even got a cap.

Robinson 'unavailable for selection' today. 'Will Robinson play for the club again?' ' Don't know'

Bruce Anderson out of contract at the end of the season. Done well at Accies, young, potential for development/sell on and he sounds like he's desperate for a chance to kick on. Not sure what the compensation rules are though. Wouldn't sign him as the main striker but I think he's a player with a wee bit of potential.

I've not seen my girlfriend since 20th December and I think I've seen her maybe 5 or 6 times in the last year. It's infuriating as these idiots will probably send the R number back up again and further extend lock down. However I do think the police have a difficult job. There has to be a trade off between public health and public safety when you have thousands of boozed up cretins around. The government however is becoming a bit like the boy that cried wolf. They keep saying they are going to do something and don't. They are in a better position to take action than the police are.

McInnes is a dreadful manager. I'd love to see this place if we'd 1 goal in 9 matches and 2 wins in 13. And that's with a much higher budget than the majority of the league. This is a guy that has regularly changed shape and personnel to defend as soon as they go 1-0 up, regardless of location or opponents. Now they can't even score. They have lost good players but basically as a manager McInnes is a dud. They have pretty much been dire for the last three seasons.
-
Winning 5 out of the last 9 has had a pretty radical effect on our position though. We were shite before Alexander came in.
-
Hibs have a better squad than the rest, they should be 3rd every day of the week. Aberdeen have lost most of their better players and McInnes is an absolutely dreadful manager so it wouldn't surprise me to see them in the mix next season with the rest of us.
-
We didn't really have a functional team when Alexander arrived but he's made good choices to establish a starting XI that works. Cole was in and out under Robinson, he's started every game under Alexander. Maguire, not before time, has been brought in and given a run in the correct position. We brought in a top class goalkeeper. Roberts has performed better than Robinson's wide players. Guys like Seedorf, White, Polworth have been ditched. We are not out the woods yet but Alexander just seems like he's a more competent judge of players and knows better how a team clicks together than Robinson did. Even when Robinson did get it right it usually felt like he was forced into it or it happened by accident.
-
Don't really agree with that. I was hoping for a Ross County win. Another 3 points ahead of Killie and 2 ahead of Accies and another game scored off. 1 more win will do it for us. However, we should be aiming for 7th place now.

With 20 minutes to go we should all still be shitting it
-
Well we could relax for all of a couple of minutes!
-
Livingston are stuffy but most definitely beatable - provided we put in a performance. Potentially two and maybe all three teams below us could drop points today so a win today would be absolutely massive. A win and a draw in the next two pretty much keeps us up.
-
Top 3 keeper in the league with McGregor and Siegrist.
-
On this 'logic' Hamilton are much better than us.
-
Even his stint as manager was before my time but undoubtably one of our all time great players and he always came across as a good guy that never forgot his roots. It's a sad day for Motherwell FC.
-
Bartley, Pittman, Forrest, Guthrie....I think their full backs have been better than ours so you could have Devlin and Serrano in there. I'd also say Mullin is probably better than any wide player we have at the moment. Efe Ambrose would probably start in our team and are guys like Sibbald, Lawson, Holt, lesser players than Crawford, O'Hara, Maguire, Polworth etc? Don't think so. Crawford is here because he hasn't featured at Livingston this season. If you look at most teams outside the Top 4 you could probably pick 4 or 5 from each that would play for any other team and the reason for that is there really isn't a lot between any of the teams.

I think this is a good time to face Livingston. Often when a team wins a trophy their form drops off afterward. And of course if they lose their confidence will be down. But without wishing to be disrespectful we should be winning at home against Livingston anyway if we want to do anything at this level of football. Livingston are a decent enough team, 5 or 6 of their players would walk into our team, but it's just the reality for us that we need to win home matches against bottom and mid league teams. We have to make it happen and I think we will make it happen. And if we can go on to 35 points and then don't lose at Kilmarnock then I think we are more or less safe at that point. I mean, I think we are already probably safe but that would basically sign of another year in the Premiership.

If you got relegated off 2 defeats in a row we'd be playing in league sponsored by the local corner shop!
