The short answer is "an improvement". Given that it is no longer possible for clubs like ours to improve at a regular organic rate as we did under the guidance of Tommy McLean, I'll be greedy and upgrade that to"a marked improvement". Better performances will lead to, hopefully, better results and a higher league position. Changes in the playing staff were undoubtedly necessary and they seem to be taking place. If these new guys are an improvement then we should be okay. A bit of excitement with some kind of cup run would be a bonus.

The half and half shirt design works for Feyenoord and Blackburn Rovers. Not convinced it was great with claret and amber, though the shorts were the final abomination that pushed that particular kit over the edge.

Best of luck to Faddy. He will always be a legend at Fir Park and just sorry that this hasn't worked out better for him or the club.

I always thought it was Dan Tanna, but I do get the reference and it made me chuckle.I did like his car.

We need to look after ourselves tomorrow, and no one else. We are playing for points and league position, leading to extra cash, when we could really use it. Put out our strongest side and go for a win. Hopefully there might even be a psychological edge from finishing above Dundee and, maybe, Killie, for next season.

He will have the first week off if he does stay - suspended. If he wants to stay, I'd keep him as he offers a fair amount at our level. Having said that, he is another year older and will run out of gas sooner or later. The player of the last couple of seasons will be hard to replace on our budget. Whether Skippy would be that player next season is a moot point.

Think he is unlikely to end up at Hibs. Will be interesting to see how he goes in the A-league if he does end up back in Australia.

Can he take Clay with him?

Ainsworth is an odd one. If he stays, he needs to do a lot more and get paid less. Cannot see it happening. Anyway, a great result and I have the rest of a Taranaki autumn day to bask in the glory/ relief of our survival for another season in the top flight.

If we don't appeal, when is the suspension due to kick in?

We are currently in a much better position after Saturday's result. That can change.This is not a "must win" game now, but it definitely falls into the "must not lose" category, and for a side who can be classified as mentally weak, that is not the best place to be. The best way to approach this game has to be to ignore the Accies game and try and take care of our own business.

This. We are in a better position than we were before today's result., but we are not out of the woods yet. It isn't as if we have suddenly become a decent side with one win. I certainly do not relish the prospect of us going to Inverness next Saturday with the prospect of the play offs looming.

Whoever is picked, they all have to play as if this is a cup final. This is as close to a "must win" as it will get so let's hope we get a performance from the team. It would be nothing if not overdue.

Indeed. Let's get a grip and get stuck in. We are not down yet and, surprisingly, staying up is still in our hands. Let's show some belief and commitment and get stuck into them!

Not convinced at all by Robinson. Even if we manage to stay up, I'd be inclined to think that he is not the man for the rebuilding job that is required. Not all his fault. You can only play with the hand you are dealt, and he picked up aces over eights, but he has had a chance and results are unconvincing. I also think that the business plan of bringing up English non-league players and hoping to unearth a diamond in the rough is extremely flawed. We need to get more out of the talent on our doorstep.

One thing to remember. If we go down, you can half the amount of money we will be offered for the likes of McHugh, Moult and Cadden.

Pretty depressing stuff to wake up to. The most disappointing thing seems to be the lack of fight being shown. It seems a shame that the final memories of a great run in the top division will be this shambles.

An Inverness win today is a good result for us, I think. We just have to do the business today and pick up the win ourselves.

Very sad news about Cammy Duncan. Thoughts with his family and friends. RIP.

For what it is worth, I don't think there is any agenda behind these decisions. Luck plays a part in sport and we have had a bad run, but that is just the way it goes sometimes. There was a New Zealand athlete at the last Olympics who was in a good position before the final day's competition, who then had a poor day and failed to gain a medal. They were asked by their media what they were going to do now. The answer was that he was going to go out that night, have a few drinks, think about what might have been, how unlucky they were and feel sorry for himself, before adding and tomorrow, I will just have to get over it.

This is becoming a distraction. We need to concentrate on things which we can do something about, like our next performance, and not waste time thinking about crap which has already happened.

Well that is great news to wake up to. And the picture of the ball over the line for yet another non goal is just the icing on the cake.

Do Rangers havethecash to meet our asking price? Hopefully their supposed interest will highlight his availability to other clubs who will offer us a decent amount of cash. We will almost certainly have to part company with Moult this summer, but can scarcely see a cut price deal with them being in anyone's best interests.

Reading between the lines, Tait seems unlikely to be fit for selection.

Any talk of revenge for the 5-1 game strikes me as an unnecessary distraction. Our own need for a win in what is a classic six pointer should be all the motivation we need.
