Have always been the split bus.
Being somewhat advanced in years I remember the pre 1975 years when clubs like Motherwell were often by this time in the season left marooned in mid table ( often out the cup) and with little to play for.
This reflected itself in attendance's which barely got above 2,000. I remember a game against Arbroath with a crowd approx 1800.
Compare with this Saturday where a crowd of over 6,000 is likely.

Casey---- what a guy!!!
Was everywhere on the pitch today including up front.
His run covering the whole pitch which was completed by an inch perfect tackle to stop a threatening Dundee move will last with me forever.
He is also an utter bampot which just adds to his lovlieness.

Where does John Boyle stay?

Apols if mentioned elsewhere but a nagging thought I have re Collum at the Bair incident.
Wouldn't surprise me that having discarded VAR advice at the recent Motherwell/Celtic game he may have had this at the back of his mind on Saturday.
Referees as we know don't like to go against their colleagues!!

Returning briefly to the football but I'm hearing Montgomery's return is nearer than we thought. Good news.

Just putting it into the mix but I'm reliably informed that Bevis was to be dropped on Wednesday with Butcher replacing him. Butcher however got injured in training----yet another to add to the injury stats.

Davor I meant!!

I hope Davor plays on Saturday. He was howling last night, but everyone has a shocker sometimes. Spittal doesn’t half get right on his case sometimes.
I very much enjoyed SOD misplacing a pass in the second half and the folk round me absolutely losing their shit despite the fact he had just laid on the equaliser.
Also, my haggis pie was magic.
Never ceases to amaze me how fans can see performances differently.
For my part I watched Favor closely last night and I thought he performed well. Never hiding he was always looking for the ball and creating. His substitution I put down to tactics or picking up an injury.
Just my take on the wee man.

Hearing that Brophy wants to come to us. Brophy and agent pushing for this but Adams is against the move as it would be seen as helping a rival.
Space this and watch come to mind.

Is this just a suggestion or a rumour that you've heard?
Brophy was someone I thought about last night when I noticed he hadn't made it off the bench for County. A quick look at Transfermarkt shows he's only made it off the bench twice (combined total of about 40mins) for them since early November.
He's not a player I'm that fond of, mainly due to his tendency to take absolutely wild shots from distance and never score, but I guess in terms of playing style - mobile, strong runner, fairly quick - he's like a Aldi version of Biereth...maybe?
I think I'm getting desperate when I'm considering a guy that can't get a game for Ross County might not be a terrible option. I suppose it'd have to be a permanent deal though with us having Halliday and Montgomery (at the moment) on loan from other Premiership clubs.
From a reliable source Brophy is certainly being considered.
Of course there is a yawning chasm between consideration and making a move.

A possible signing could be Brophy at Ross County.
Injury prone!!

No need to add too much comment re our lack of strikers but let's not forget that Spittal is proving to be a big asset with his goals this season. Considering that he is a mid fielder to trade his goal return and overall performances have been very good.
We still of course need additional strikers . Next week hopefully will bring joy.

The only hope is that Monty's injury has happened before the end of the window.
Will SK test the water with Furlong?

McGinlay can't play for anyone else can he?
Think he can as I believe he never featured for Thistle.
Maybe rock up at Clyde.

Could be regretting parting ways with Wilkinson.

Hearing that we beat East Kilbride 7-0 last night at FP.
Miller played and impressed. Gent used as a number 10 played well as did Montgomery.

When it rains it pours!
From an impeccable source I'm hearing Mika has in the last few days been down to Sunderland and a Sheffield team.
And possibly linked , our interest in Main is definite.

As i believe the team return to training today I'd hope the eagle eyed chaps who hang around FP's front entrance will have spotted whether Maguire and Beirith are back + any new mystery signings.
Tension city!

Both right it seems. Yes he is suspended but he is on his way back to Huddersfield.

Hearing Spencer gone back to Huddersfield and Wilko to Colchester.

Such is the apocalyptic backdrop being portrayed for this match that on walking up pre match to FP tomorrow I fully expect 2 sets of gallows being erected reflecting the dimensions of both managers
Which one is used is anybody's guess. But for sure the gallows assemblers will be easily picked out in so far as they will be moon howling, pitchfork wielding slabbering hordes.
Will be almost worth buying the popcorn beforehand!!!

Re SK and the debate over his future.
Add to the mix that as SK has already indicated that he has been speaking to one or two possible January recruits , this raises the likelihood that these 2 wouldn't likely join if SK's future was in question.
With this in mind , secondly our already depleted small squad and the rapidly diminishing time a new guy would have to use the transfer window , I feel that unless we sink like a stone in the next 4 games SK will be around until the end of January.
BUT if the Alloa cup tie goes the same way as Albion Rovers some years back........!!

Looking ahead to Saturday and our problems ( whoever the manager)seem to deepen.
What kind of defence is anybody's guess what with the injuries to Casey, Butcher, apparently Mugabi and perhaps Mc Ginn not having recovered.
As for the bench!!!!!!!

Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

Wouldn't bet on " we'll win next week".
Was at Livi/ RC game today and Livi showed great desire and no little ability in winning 2-0.
They will feel they can win against a Motherwell team with little to play for and hope County and SJ lose again.
As for County!!! After beating Rangers they were unbelievably brutal. Offered nothing.
Most Livi fans of view that Obilye is coming to us. I hope not as he is pretty substandard.
