Ya Bezzer!

OK, happy again

I've been supporting Motherwell for more than 9 games.

Not a two goal one.

WHY CAN'T WE HOLD A LEAD!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing this one.

Actually might have been worth going just to watch Levein squirm on the touchline to the chorus of booing.

Didn't go today. High ticket price, I was in Edinburgh last weekend, the eye wateringly bad match at Tynecastle last season. Sounds like I made a good decision if the howitzer exchange they are talking about on the radio is anything to go by.

I'm not a referee but surely if the foul starts outside the box it's not a penalty. I will agree though that the referee didn't get the decision right.

Interesting that we've signed another player we'd tried to sign in previous windows. I'd still like to know who's picking our players because there have been a number of times when we've pursued the same players after a change of manager. I'm fine with the signing but I'm not sure where he fits into the team if we are playing 4-3-3.

At £29 for a ticket they better win. Would be great to hear the booing as well at the end. Can't stand Levein. Scottish football goes up a notch when he's out the door.

Back four were excellent today but I'd have to pick between Campbell and Scott. I'll go with Campbell.

First thing I was going to say was that was by far the best back four we've played this season. Carroll at left back and Hartley in the middle in place of Dunne makes us far more defensively secure. I've been dismissive of Hartley, I felt his lack of mobility would be a problem but today his reading of the game was excellent enough that that never happened and of course he's always a threat up the other end - compare with Dunne who is 6'3 and never scored a goal for us. Also, contrast our defensive display against Hibs who were an absolute shambles at the back. Midfield I feel there's still a bit of work to do there when we are on the ball, we don't have the touch, or composure that we had with Turnbull and Gorrin last season, but everyone put in the effort and it was a big improvement on the last couple of matches. Thought Scott was excellent again playing in a wider position. The one down side was that 1-0 up we missed probably about 6 or 7 real chances. We've got to be a bit more ruthless when it comes to taking our opportunities because the game was open for most of the 90 minutes and really it shouldn't have been. Overall though the kind of response to the Hearts match that you'd have been looking for.

This is an important match for me. A shite Hearts came here and won at a trot without even playing anything above average. Now a shite Hibs are coming to Fir Park and if we don't put them away our chances of improvement, at least with Turnbull out, look limited. Hibs best result and only win in their last 8 league matches was a late goal 1-0 win at home to St. Mirren. They struggled to look convincing in the League Cup groups - a draw against bottom of League 2 Stirling, were far from convincing against Alloa and Elgin and then lost 3 goals to Morton. No excuses. These are the games we absolutely have to start winning if there is going to be any kind of progress.

If A is bad and B is much worse, A will win easily. We won, deserved to win but almost all the players were not at the level they need to be. The idea that because you win or even dominate a match means are good enough over a season to compete at a much higher level (we will rarely play a team as poor as Accies were on Saturday) is so simplistic it's, well, par for the course round here.

I thought our midfield was pish on Saturday. Went for Scott. Thought he showed something playing wide. The rest were at best mediocre.

This is a slightly bizarre comment from the manager. It took Hartley to be unavailable for him to realise? I said back in May we needed two centre halves in.

We won, we deserved to win, 3 points on the board, away from home too but like you I thought there were problems out there. For me we didn't play much better than last week and individually right across the park we weren't good enough. We got away with it because it was Accies and a poor Accies at that. Against most teams, most of the time, we aren't going to win playing like that. This is a building block, a launching pad but almost every player is short of where he needs to be.

Been the better team without doing anything special. Scott has been decent wide but there isn't enough movement in forward areas. No runners from deep, no interchanging, pretty static. No surprise our goals were a corner and a penalty. Also think we have been terrible in the full back positions. A better team than Accies would have caused us bigger problems. Perhaps 2nd half they will prioritises balls played behind our full backs.

According to the bookies a Motherwell away win is the second most likely result in the Premiership today, after Hibs beating St Johnstone at Easter Road.

Every one of these Friday night matches has been great. Then you go to the Motherwell game on a Saturday....

Have a bad feeling about this one. Promoting guys like Ross Cunningham, Lewis Smith and Reegan Mimnaugh has given Accies a new lease of life from last season. It's not working for us now but do I expect Robinson to change it? No. I'm open to being pleasantly surprised but not expecting it.

I thought he made a few mistakes at Dundee and I was surprised when Celtic signed him but they must have seen something in him and he did get game time when he first arrived there. And just look at the quality gap between someone like Declan Gallagher brought in from Livingston and our existing central defenders. I doubt he's worse than you know who and probably a step up.

I said at the end of last season we needed two centre backs in. If we want to improve Dunne and Hartley aren't good enough, end of story.

Calm down. Frear wasn't good enough after two and a half seasons. These guys have had three matches.

I thought Tait was poor for long spells in the second half of last season - and that was when the team was doing well. He's a guy that gets a pass from the support for some reason. Maybe he's got far too comfortable playing every week.
