It's a couple of games you lose in the autumn.

In an ideal world we would bin Lionel. However we are fighting relegation and he is exactly the type of chancer who will perk up and put in a few performances when his contract is running down. At some point we might have a use for him.

A bit worrying that we've signed two centre backs this window and both look inferior to Kerr.

Not very good.

We were that bad in the first half St Johnstone stopped playing. Good spirit from the team in the second half. Thomas wasn't great but gave us a moment of quality for the goal. I thought Kerr was good as well, he put in some heavy challenges which were badly needed.

I thought the Bradford Park Avenue claim was brilliant patter but it might actually be true....

Wise words as ever.

Barraclough is the first manager i've ever thought it was a mistake to appoint. I was actually very pro McCall until he started messing us about with his contract extension. I don't think it should be an easy gig but for Barraclough there is nothing as far as i can see that suggests he is the right man for the job. I'm not the only person who feels he talks a game but has offered little else. Why do you think we should persevere with him regardless of results? Sacking a manager after 6 or 7 defeats in a row isn't a controversial stance. Apart from Ross County and St Mirren none of the other 132 league teams in England and Scotland have lost 6 league matches in a row and Adams and Craig were relieved of their positions because of those runs.

If we get beat on Saturday and beat at Ross County that's 7 in a row. Not many mangers survive that. He needs results asap.

Details of his contract haven't been revealed. Hopefully that's because he has a contract that means he is easy to bin.

We surely still need a striker to come in. Going to the end of the season with Sutton and two youngsters who have scored one goal each for us (and not recently) would be madness. Barraclough doesn't have much of a CV and has been unconvincing since he arrived. If a win doesn't arrive soon him and Black should be sent packing before they do anymore damage. There seems to be two points of view on this either you think that being Motherwell manager is a privilege which should be earned or you think that whoever is appointed should be given every chance to be a success even if it is to the detriment of the club. Why would I trust Barraclough? He has done nothing as a manager before coming to Fir Park, has overseen a terrible run of form since he arrived here and gives the impression he is bullshitting in all his youtube interviews. It's time for him to get us results or find more suitable employment.

I think he can play in a summer league.

He was poor overall. He had a decent run of form for about a month but apart from that he didn't contribute much and his attitude in his final few matches was shocking.

Apart from the entire second half at Perth.

There was a home defeat to Dundee United on a Sunday near the end of the season where he gifted them two early goals.

I think most fans in the country would say Thomson and Collum are the two worst refs yet they seem to be the highest rated. It's obviously more who you than what you know.

60. I missed three obvious ones as well.

Most reports said Kerr did ok on Saturday and O'brien was horrendous at Dens so I don't see why he should walk back into the team.

A.Keeper Ramsden Kerr McManus Watt Carswell Lasley Pearson Erwin Thomas Sutton

A 32 year old centre half who last played for Alfreton Town? Ojamaa, Anier, Twardzik, Kerr and Law are the only players we've signed under the age of 25 in the past 5 years.

If we lose nine games in a row we will need a new manager.

We were always going to lose today. Next Saturday is massive for us. Lose again and the manager is under pressure.

How is our level being significantly worse than St Johnstone, Accies and ICT. The problem isn't that we don't have the resources to put out a decent side it's that the squad are terrible value for money.

I don't think this group of players have the will to turn things round. The only three I trust are Hammell, Lasley and Sutton. I doubt that they are capable of doing it on their own. The manger looks out his depth and there is nothing in his CV or that he has done since he came to Fir Park that suggests he will be able to fix this.

You are both ignoring the fact that we are getting worse while St Mirren and Ross County seem to be improving.
