    Time for our so called manager to move on.His decisions today defy logic,we had two forwards at the start of the game Main and Johnson who were deprived of any decent service other than high balls which they never looked like winning.Robinson then puts on Bowman and Sammon and takes off Tait and Campbell leaving us with four front men who are getting starved of service. Leaving us with less options of the type of players to make a telling pass. This season the league has shown the importance of scoring the first goal, 1-0 defeats to Accies,Hearts, St.Johnston and St. Mirren today shows that. These four teams all came to Fir Park IMO with one aim to get a point,and when we couldn’t break them down and score they all got one chance and took it. We don’t look capable of being up to finding the key to opening tight defences and as this season goes on games will be tighter and tighter to win. On today’s performance I fear the worse for us both Dundee and St.Mirren will strengthen in January and Accies have a knack of fighting their way out of trouble. We on today’s performance look a lost and beaten team

    Mmm. We were undeniably awful but you need to be careful reading too much into one game in terms us and St Mirren - they are a bad team and there's no guarantee they'll get better.

    Also undeniable is that was another horror show from Robinson, from the start, to the horrific sub and the end. They're mounting up. He's still got enough breathing space but by next Saturday that might be gone

    Indeed and unless he has a very good January and a much improved concept for next season he's in serious trouble regardless of the fact we've scrambled ahead of some utter guff so far.

    Think if we don’t take at least 4 points in next two games manager has to go. As he himself stated the importance of these three games this week and less than 4 points in these next two games is total failure in any ones language after today’s shambolic performance.

    It will depend on results elsewhere too. If we're six clear of the playoff I just don't see us sacking him... whether that's the right approach a different matter.

    Utter garbage today. A clueless performance and those who thought had rested players mid-week expecting a performance today, sadly deluded. We’re/Robinson not intelligent to play strategically and simply bumble along. Buck stops with Robinson and the writing been on the wall from earlier this season. No more delays ... he’s got to go and along with the duds he brought in January. He rode his luck, thanks for the memories but soon became evident out of his depth tactically.

    He has got to go.

    No direction. No football. It is a cackest of relegation fodder in the making.

    A totally shambolic performance from start to finish yesterday. Just stick 5 at the back, sit in tight and hit us on the break, that's how simple it is to beat us. We have no clue how to break a stubborn well organised side down at all. And you can be as sure as s*** we'll throw one in at some point. We had two strikers up front, we couldn't create one single chance for them, what do we do? throw on another two strikers to create f*** all for. the changes yesterday had me scratching my head that's for sure. We badly need a wide player with pace that can at least put a cross in the box and a player in the middle that has the capability to pass a ball. the January transfer window will be the managers most important, f*** it up and he's out a job. seen a beaut on twitter yesterday. Motherwell are like the AA. We'll always get you back on the road.....
