I just got one online (against my better judgement) but it says it’s restricted view as that looked like it was all that was left. Although I very much doubt we’ve sold out!

Hope I’m wrong, but with that starting 11 if Rangers play reasonably well I fear we’re getting another hammering! How he can possibly start the same midfield that started at Livi beggars belief. Also, the one player who has caused them problems in previous games is on the bench, unbelievable.

Is KVV deffo suspended tomorrow? Was sure I read that on here but just listened to a near 15 min interview with Alexander and it wasn’t mentioned!

Thought exactly the same yesterday re that Josh Campbell tackle, far worse than Mugabi’s. Interesting to note that Beaton took his time, calmed the situation down with both sets of players, and then issued a yellow. Compare that to Colum who excitedly had the red card out for Mugabi within a matter of seconds.

Great result. Defended much better 2nd half. Lots of permutations but I think a point does us next week as long as Hibs and Ross C don’t both win against Hearts and Aberdeen (unlikely).

Surprised he’s persevering with Shields and Efford given how poor both of them were at McDiarmid. Would rather have seen Woolery and Tierney to be honest. A win today would really lift the mood and set up a massive one at Livi next week!

Was just watching the highlights there when I read your post, great spot! Collum deffo goes for his right hand pocket on his shorts and is then set upon by 3 Hibs players, with at least 1 of them making contact with him. Perfect example of why teams must put pressure on weak minded referees throughout games, and on this occasion paid massive dividends for them.

Like most, I find that team selection bizarre! Can only see us shelling long diagonals to Mugabi at RWB.

Dont think any of us know what our best 11 is now to be honest! I would go Kelly, Mugabi, Sol, Ojala & Carroll, Slattery, Donnelly & Shaw, Woolery, KVV & Roberts I accept that I may be the only fan left that still sees the merits in Donnelly! Midfield was really poor on Wed night but I thought he was the best of the 3 (I guess looking at this forum I'm in the minority there!)

Fantastic news!

Wouldn’t disagree with that. Mugabi has made a couple of errors recently, so maybe the experience of O’Donnell is the way to go. A bit worried about KVV potentially being missing as I don’t think we have any obvious replacement. Maybe Efford through the middle and Roberts & Woolery in the wide areas..

I’d go with 4-3-3 - Kelly, Mugabi, Sol, Lamie, Carroll, Ohara, Donnelly, Shaw, Woolery, KVV, Roberts.

Happy to take that one on the chin!

Feel bad not giving it to Woolery after a great assist and goal, however without Liam Kelly’s brilliance the game would have been out of sight by half time!

Remarkable! Huge credit to the manager, coaches and players, even the most optimistic Motherwell fan wouldn’t have seen that coming at half time. I know I’d have taken a 4-0 defeat and gone up the road with no injuries! Rode our luck at times but battled well! Kelly was immense throughout and Woolery was amazing for both goals!

Donnelly far from the worst performer out there. The madness for me is playing with 2 forwards and Tierney at a venue we know we’ll concede 70/75% possession regardless of what we do. At least one, potentially two, of Efford, Woolery and Tierney should not be playing today.

Game over. How often do we lose 1 against Rangers and another straight after?! Seems to happen ever other game against them. Wouldn’t be surprised if we ship another 6 today the way we’re playing.

I’d keep Ohara & Donnelly, not too fussed about the rest.

A good few options for a change yesterday! Thought all of, Mugabi, Sol, Donnelly and KVV had good games but Mark Ohara brought everything we’ve been missing from our midfield. Energy, drive and will to win, fantastic performance from him and great to see him back!

At least you’ve given me some hope reading that spiderpig! Despite the fact I don’t share your faith!!

Not sure where we go from here to be honest. Losing soft goals, unable to score. Midfield poor. If it wasn’t for Kelly I’d be worried about a relegation battle coming. Aberdeen at 29/20 on Sat looks like buying money.

Alexander just throwing sh1t at the wall every game and hoping something sticks. No wonder the players have no idea what we’re trying to do!

Thought the 3 centre halves all played well last night, but had to go for Kelly for 2 great saves towards the end. Don’t get the nominations for Slattery, played 1 very good pass to put Van Veen through on goal in the 2nd half, apart from that I thought he looked out of sorts and out of position (too far forward). Although it’s bloody hard to see anything at that far end when your behind the goals!

I’d change McGuire & McGinley for Slattery & Carroll. Would also have Shaw in for Donnelly if he was fit. The rest with a rocket up them after that 2nd half on Tue night. Fancy a 3-1 win.

Are we always awful the first game back after the winter break or is it my imagination?
