Superb! I've been hearing for weeks about how Rangers manage to win games they don't play well in, and "grind" out results. We've just did that today. These kind of games are the ones we need to win.

I'll still be sticking by my opinion that any money we have to offer contracts should be kept for a striker in January. Unless Hughes is willing to come in on a squad players wage, of course.

Was the game switched? Or has it always been the Sunday? I could have sworn it was the Saturday

It doesn't count if it's coming from someone who is usually positive!

I've never gotten my head around this idea that supporters of Scottish clubs (Motherwell in this instance) are simply going to give up supporting their team because they can watch Man Utd or Liverpool on Sky Sports. You could set up a match between Barca and Real Madrid in my back garden for November 5th and I'd still rather go to Fir Park and watch us cuff Celtic.

If he were willing to come in on a squad players wage then I'd agree 100%.

As far as season tickets go, I doubt the club really can do much more. The deals we get at present are among the best in the division are they not?

In theory, yes. The bottom line though is that our current midfield has got us to 2nd in the league table. We don't need to change anything. If someone like Jennings were to leave in January, then fair enough, but as things stand I don't see McCall changing the midfield and I don't think we should be looking to pay the kind of wage that Hughes would possibly want for a player to sit on the bench. There are better areas for that money to be spent at present.

I don't think that'll be the case to be honest. The site will still be looking to retain its place in the Motherwell media machine. Seriously though, I've seen and heard a lot of moaning about this MFCTV thing taking ages to set-up etc (not from you personally, by the way), so if anyone can, cough up the cash and help make it a success. The fact that it's pretty fucking excellent helps as well.

This post hits the nail on the head for me. Hughes won't come cheap, and I don't think we should be paying first team regular wages to someone who really wouldn't improve our starting eleven at present. We have other areas to strengthen before midfield.

Lets fucking hope so.

You pay for your season ticket to watch the team play, and your Sky subscription really has nothing to do with the goings-on at the club. If you want the info and the video interviews that the likes of Sky most likely wouldn't be arsed covering, cough up the fiver.

A Europa League spot is what we should be aiming for now in my opinion. A win over a team like Inverness is vital.

If we did have some cash sitting that could be used on a contract or two, do we really need another midfielder? Aren't there a few other positions that we should be looking to fill instead?

Aye, it was probably all bollocks from the Celtic end to honest, eh? There were that many stories doing the rounds that I didn't know what to believe. Still, he's all signed up down south now and won't be returning in those hoops to darken our doorstep any time soon. Here's hoping his next move brings him back to Fir Park

Who would he replace in our midfield?

Does anyone know which league positions will ensure European football next season? We have two Champions League slots, aye? Does that mean we have third & fourth place guaranteed a crack at the Europa League?

He's a decent player is Hughes, but I'm not sure that we're the club he'll be looking to join. Our midfield is pretty stacked when it comes to our first eleven every Saturday, so I don't think regular football would be offered as much as he'd maybe like. As a squad player though? I'd take him back tomorrow.

An interesting article in The Telegraph regarding the attendance at Fir Park on Saturday;

That gobstopper fella has some class videos up there. Cheers for the link!

Oh well, I guess that's why they get 3 people & a dog at their games

You seriously don't think there's anywhere closer to Motherwell they can play?

Can we make it 5 SPL games unbeaten when we visit Inverness this coming weekend? Once again we come into a game with nothing really by way of injuries (at least thus far), and this will probably see the team remain the same. Is this a good thing? Or do we need some fresh faces in there? I can see the sense behind what McCall is doing, however, I'd like to see young Murphy given a rest this weekend, even if it is only to bring him back for the game against Celtic the following weekend. I think McHugh deserves a run-out, especially after his goal against Aberdeen. Apart from that, I'm interested in seeing how a McHugh & Higdon partnership would get on. Aside from that, I can't see much else I'd change. Inverness have been poor of late, and I'd be seriously disappointed if we can't take at least a point away from them, even if all three is what I actually think we should get. I'll go for a 2-0 win. Higdon to score.
