...................Smith Corrigan Craigan Delomeaux Hammell ..A. McCormack Brannan Pearson .....McDonald Porter McFadden Ross McCormack, Elliott and Lasley all unlucky to miss out on my selection. Clarkson & Quinn would probably make the bench. Fingers crossed Ruddy is mentioned in a decade's time but 4 months work at present doesn't merit a starting berth.

This time next week, it could be very much believable. Fingers crossed we return to some form but if we keep persisiting in playing the way we have been, I can only see us going backwards.

We need to go back to a formation that the players are comfortable with and make us hard to beat. How about a traditional 442? .......................Ruddy Moutaouakil Sauders Hutchison Reynolds ......Jennings Coke Hateley O'Brien .................Murphy Juke For me, Murphy has to play but we are sacrificing the shape of the team too much by playing him behind two striker. I don't think we can afford that luxury at the moment. I'd also bring O'Brien back, regardless of where his future lies, as we have been a shadow of our former selves since his ommission.

Spot on.

Absolutely spot on. Can't get my head round this tactic.

My dad, a stong Motherwell and United supporter, has just phoned to say he has been in a car smash. Shite day. With regards Motherwell, you have to worry about the confidence draining out the young ones. Experienced heads are required or we could soon plumet down the league.

Fuck off.

2 weeks on he trot, we lose a goal seconds after one of they gay goalkicks. I love passing fitba but we just invite pressure against superior opposition.

Ruddy saved our bacon there. Big test is to see if we can keep it tight for 1st 15 minutes of 2nd half.

Need a midfielder on the park, given the change in formation.

I appear to have lost my stream now.

Agreed. We look wide open at the back.

Fucking hell, should have been a 2nd. Might turn off sooner rather than later.

Every fucking time we lose an early goal there.

He has unearthed a gem in Hateley. Think we will do well to hang on to a top 6th place, with Aberdeen moving into 4th/5th. And we don't often hang on to a manager for more than 2 seasons these days.

Pretty sure Humphrey and O'Brien are on the bench as well. Strong bench.

Is it Meechan that has dropped out the team? Wonder if Reynolds is going to move into midfield or if Saunders will move to right back? Snow fairly pelting down.

If the money is there, then we should be looking to invest in Ruddy and the Juke. Unlike Porter and Hughes though, any such investment needs to be nailed down to a 3 year contract so that there is ample opportunity to generate a profit.

Fair play TL, I can see where you are coming from, particularly with the United hat on. The sales/marketing drive can be sickening at times when community values and a love for a club is sadly overlooked. On this occassion though, the ticket office is there to provide us paying customers with a service. And while they have admitted an error in not notifying us of an early closing time a couple of days before a ticket match, the arrogant response from a senior member of staff is bang out of order and harps back to the old regime at Fir Park. Digressing slightly, I think its pretty poor that the office is not opened this morning. Yes I know the tickets have been on sale for donkeys but gone are the days when you can wake up on a Saturday morning with a sudden urge to get yourself a ticket and follow your team away from home. Dare I say that if it wasn't the weekend before Christmas, the office may well be open this morning?

My 1st ever vist to Ibrox and the only time I have seen us win there. Wish I had appreciated it so much more at the time. Helluva support when you see the footage. It was a midweek game eh?

See to be honest, I believe the club has been making great strides in communicating with the fans but the response from Leeann is more than a tad cheeky. You wouldn't get away with that customer service in most places.

My thoughts as well. Talk of an agreed fee must be nonsense.

Wouldn't offload him for less than 100k, no chance of the Sheep coming up with that kinda money though. Championship teams are bound to be interested.

Think we will be lucky to tske 300 there. Rangers will need to have a right bad day for us to be in with a chance. 4-1 Rangers

Did the Elliot money no keep us in business?? One of my all time favourites at Fir Park. Always had a chance of a goal with him in your team. For a few months, him and Faddy had a tremendous partnership up front. When he left us he scored goals galore at Hull but health issues appear to have held him back in recent years. Would like to see him make an impact in the SPL once again.
