El Grew

Same drab old home performance. Their keeper has had nothing to do. All set up nicely for the usual outcome - 1-0 to them.

Article in the Sun saying he is heading to Leeds for talks about a move. He is only 16 and is under contract with us until 2020.

Not easy on the eye by any stretch but more important to get the 3 points and put some clear water between us and the 3 below us.

As I said in a previous post Sammon is not what we need - 66 goals in over 400 games at an average of 0.16 goals/game for umpteen clubs. FFS we are in the process of selling a guy with a better record than that.

Really sorry to see Ryan leaving. Really genuine guy who always tried his heart out for us and IMO the best forward at the club after Louis Moult. A real old-fashioned inside-forward. Great at dragging defenders into areas they weren't comfortable. Good luck big man.

We're in real trouble whether he plays or not. Accies will be wound right up for this one and their plastic pitch has been a bogey for us in the past.

Conor Sammon has played a total of 405 first team games for a littany of clubs and has scored a grand total of 66 goals in that time at an average of 0.163 goals per game. Begs the question why on earth Robinson brought him onboard even though it is a loan deal. Clearly not what was/is required at FP.

Lot of folk getting their excuses in pre-game for us losing this one. Lol.

Richard Tait by a country mile. IMO not just the best 'Well footballer yesterday but the best footballer, period. Always gives 100%. Back to his best position at right back (admittedly through circumstances) and always looked better playing there in a back 4 on the very few occasions we have played with that formation. Why is he not the club captain?

Not a knee-jerk reaction and I don't give a rat's arse who it upsets but Motherwell need to get rid of this manager as soon as possible. Started a home game with 6 defenders against a team that's only scored 6 goals in 8 away games. F*cking disgrace.

We said that about Accies, Livi and todays opponents. We play Aberdeen and Rangers after we play St Mirren and Dundee. Problem for board will be who to replace Robinson with.

Another desperate performance and against a team that we should be beating at home. Sick tired watching us just kick and chase. We've now played Hamilton, Livingston and St.Johnstone at home and only got 1 point from 9. Sorry but for me its now time up for Robinson. Board needs to act quickly and decisively if this is to be turned round.

Terrific never-say-die performance yesterday. Reminiscent of 'Well sides from years back. I thought the key player for us was Gael Bigirimana. He gives us a whole new dimension and his free-kick and corner kick deliveries were top class. The media ranted about Rangers poor defending at our 2nd and 3rd goals but gave no credit for the deliveries from Bigirimana which were both whipped in at good pace and into fantastic areas that ask serious questions of defenders. Main and Johnson must be salivating at the thought of more of the same. I still think we need to ditch 3 at the back and move to a 4-4-2. Yesterday it might have countered Rangers getting their wide players into the game. Gerard has played 4-4-2 in all of his games up until yesterday and the changes to a 3-5-2 and bang he loses 3 goals.

I know if big money offers come in we are always going to cash in and that players, if ambitious will move on. However selling one of our better players before our first league game really is shite. It doesn't give the manager much chance. Makes you wonder why guys like Robinson stay in Scottish football but then I suppose its a job.

Yes just like every club in Scotland we are a selling club, but, English football is awash with money and £1M is small beer to them so are we being dazzled or should I say diddled. If we do sell Kipre, as seems likely now, surely we should be asking £1M cash money with add-ons and not £1M including add-ons. We continually under-value our best players and allow them to go for way less than they could.

Not to be mercenary but this must increase the transfer value of Chris Cadden - full international cap.

No Andy P. There was an official photo of the team, manager and directors taken in 1952.

Does anyone know whether there were any official photographs taken with team with the cup in 1991 similar to those of 1952?

Just recovering from yesterday. And what a great day it was. I thought we were in for a bad day after the first 10 minutes but after the first goal went in, it settled us down and when the second went in a few minutes later there was only going to be one winner - us. We have certainly had better football playing teams than the present one BUT we have never had one with more drive, heart and will to win. Everyone played their part and our real strength is the way the players all play, work and battle for each other - our whole is better than the sum of our parts. Been supporting the Dossers for a very long time now with many, many heartaches but I never in my wildest dreams thought we would be in our two national cup finals in one season. What an achievement. Everyone at the club is to be applauded, from the manager downwards for lifting the club up again after the past couple of seasons. Win or lose in the final I'll still be proud to be a 'Well fan.

Went for Curtis Main but as others have said no failures only heroes. I know some fans are not sold on Rose and Grimshaw but you need players in the side who do the grafting and breaking-up of the opposition play before it develops and yesterday these two were immense in that respect.

You called that right Milo. Don't really know we took him onboard. Not at Dens today but saw him last Saturday against Killie and he was absolute dross. Bowman far better player and much more mobile. IMO get rid of Cifti asap.

A daisy-cutter from 22 yards separated two piss poor teams in the first half. We were certainly the better team in the second half but as others have said, we could've played until next Saturday and not scored. Just do not understand or agree with Robinson's infatuation with 3-5-2. We just do not look a balanced side and IMO we've not got the players to play that way. We should revert to 4-4-2 because our four best performances this season came when we played that system - Aberdeen, Rangers and Celtic in League Cup and Aberdeen away in the league. For me, our poorest performers today were McHugh (not a midfielder for me), Rose, Cifti and Frear. Cifti was lazy and more a hindrance and as a result Main was nullified and Kilmarnock's back 4 just coasted along. However when Bowman came on with 20 minutes left the transformation was immediate and terrific. Suddenly the Kilmarnock back 4 didn't know whether their a*ses were tapped or bored as Bowman pulled them all over the place and Main found more time and space to play in than he'd had all afternoon, and was unlucky not to score on a couple of occasions. I thought Tait, Aldred, Dunne, Tanner, Main and Bowman were our best performers today.

Hearts have only won twice at FP in their history. One was the previously mentioned "John Gardiner Cup Replay" (still sends shivers through me

Hearts a dirty team? Surely not!!??

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. Congratulations to young Jamie Semple whose first half goal sealed a 1-0 win for the Scotland Under-17 team against Poland in their international challenge match in Marbella. Great to see young guys doing well, particularly if they play for us.
