Why does Baraclough refuse to put a 3rd man in midfield, particularly when the likes of Pearson looks to be carrying an injury? Despite the lack of quality in the league, you can't go away from home with a 2 man midfield when your defence is less than competent. Back in January, he disrespected Dundee, a team who hammered us at FP previously, by going up to Dens with effectively a 424 formation and he's learned little since.

His managerial achievements are null. I was suggesting him as an extreme at the inexperienced end of the scale. No idea of his management potential but would I take his leadership and interest in Motherwell over an inept Baraclough in preparation for the playoff, probably. That's how desperate the situation is.

We need to bring in a proper manager for a month, a manager who knows the club well, instil belief in the players and fans and prepare us properly for a battle in the playoffs. Whether it's at the Stephen Craigan or Craig Brown end of the scale, there must be someone available that's worth the gamble.

Appreciating the quality of Ali Crawford has been one of the highlights of the season. Boy from Carluke has ripped us apart time and time again.

That statement just confirms he's done. Not a fucking clue.

Go 9 points behind County tomorrow and many of the fans will be finished for until the playoffs.

Ticket money will be going on a County win. Scunnered to fuck by the folk that have drove our club to the brink.

Where's the evidence we can even compete with Rangers?

Can we just go down automatically? Shitebags wouldn't come out the tunnel at Ibrox.

Looking at the style of play, it's atrocious. They chances wouldn't have materialised against a semi competent defence. Chucking the towel in with half an hour to go in the last 2 games does not reflect well on the players or manager.

Didn't take long for the influence and contribution of McDonald, Pearson and a reinvigorated McManus to wear off. We really are clueless from back to front though. I hope Hutchison is willing to write off the money he has invested in Baraclough's signings.

Purple patch well and truly over. No cohesion, no heart.

Severe lesson in clinical finishing while we resort to countless long balls. If that boy Crawford plays as well as he does against us every week, Accies will be looking for massive money.

Yet again, we don't look comfortable on that surface but 4 very good chances squandered. Need to throw kitchen sink at them.

Thanks for sharing. I'd rather the WS funds were ringfenced but nevertheless I'll away and set up my direct debit to a multi-billionaire...

Can't find a link to it but spfl issued a shockingly arrogant statement tonight.

Surely there isn't going to be a high profile club game the same day as Scotland though?

Hearts have kicked up a stink too. Both Dempster and Budge rightly questioning the sporting integrity of the decision.

Scotland play at Easter Road on 5th June. Let's face it, if Hibs get to the cup final they'll no be allowed to get to playoff final. Rangers have already had a helping today with the fixtures farce.

No updates on this? I thought the takeover would have been followed with some momentum.

The timing of this wouldn't reflect well on us. However Dempster has denied Hibs involvement in this: http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/5352

Can't grumble at that. Although NDP doesn't have many happy memories. If there's something to play for on last day of season, surely they won't be able to switch us to the Friday?

Nobody is guaranteed to score goals at that level - see Kris Boyd. It looks at the moment that Sutton won't fit into Baraclough and Robinson's pressing style of play, if that's the case he'll move on unless he is willing to accepts a wage that reflects an impact sub.

I can't imagine their being too many police issues unless they're not keen on us taking 2,000 to Hamilton or Paisely on a Friday night. I reckon we'll end up with a third trip to Thistle.

I'd have thought today. Mind it's the cup this weekend though.
