Personally I'm no interested in how bad the league is or any of the other 11 teams for that matter. My concern is Motherwell and Motherwell only. Why should my team be shite just because everyone else is?

This group of players need either a kick up the arse, a boost in confidence or shipped out. Non of which are going to happen under this manager. Woolery , lambasted all season for being shite has now become the only spark we have. That shows in itself how far we've fallen. The game screaming out for an injection of creativity and he's too stubborn to acknowledge it until we're down to the last 20 minutes. I like Donnelly but he's a shadow of the player he was under Robinson, O'Donnell has gone into terminal decline and Effort just doesn't offer enough and is easily bullied. Scunnered with this team at present.

The passing is one thing and the inability to control a football is another but the lack of movement off the ball is chronic. Everything is reactive , nothing free-flowing and constantly relying on hit and hope. County were pish tonight, it just so happens we were more pish. We made their defenders look like world beaters with aimless long balls all night. Complete lack of invention and appetite all round. I'm starting to wonder how long we give the manager now.

If we show any degree of the intensity that we did on Saturday we should blow this mob away again. They look rock bottom on confidence and lack any idea of how to score. Brown just limped off for them as well.

Been a tough month for Donnelly but I thought he was excellent yesterday. We all know what he's capable of when paired with the right partner in the middle. That's a joke, did the bbc actually have anyone at our game?

Back to basics (though it won't happen) Kelly O'donnell Sol. Mugabi. Mcginley Woolery. Goss. Slatts. Roberts KVV. Efford Like I say, wishful thinking on my part

Bit of afters with watt and burrows there.

Replacing him in January like for like was always going to be a near impossible task. We should just have paid the guy what he was worth. If we can do it with the keeper we can do it for a guy who could offer us 20 goals in a season. That's criminal.

Buried. Thank fuck we're (almost) safe cos we're absolute dugshite

Correct. We're not on the same wavelength. Everything reactive, nothing looks planned. Relying far to much on the break of the ball than actually making things happen.

Someone tell Ojalla to give himself a yard on mcnulty, had him in toast there

Pumped. But I'll go along for the ride hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Will Shaw be ineligible for this one?

Mon the wain!!!

Get a grip. We're playing NOW then Sunday. Why would you wish us down to 10 men in any match?

Dirty bastard tait

Motherwell turning the screw

The players, always the players. A manager should never publicly criticise his staff. That's for behind closed doors. Interviews are designed with a view to keeping the players on side and to avoid an unhappy camp.

You can agree or disagree with the manager's post match interview all day long but one thing will always be for sure. What is said is never for the benefit of the fans.

To give things a bit of perspective, before kickoff most of us thought the line up was positive and could be the one to cause hearts problems. We were arguably the better team in the first half up until their soft goal. We then lost Maguire to injury which like him or not meant we lost any bite in the middle that we had until then. KVV isn't the man to lead the line at the front that's clear but fingers crossed he'll be a good foil for the new guy coming in. Another positive in that Tierney had another decent game. He'll only get better with time but we have to give him the ball to feet, too many times the ball was punted over his head.

Big Sol for all his defensive strengths is as slow as a week in the jail

Hearts are bossing us here and unless we make a change soon a second is imminent. We're so lightweight middle to front and the hoof ball isn't helping.

Kvv got to score there

He's generally a balloon but he sounds like he was on the piss last night. We need to start controlling the ball again. Every second touch a tackle.

Bevis having the worst half of football I've seen from him in a long while.

The Chief is back and has signed for StJ on a short loan. Not sure they have the time for him to get up to speed, took him a while with us.
