We used to have a great record against Motherwell, then ex Motherwell manager Robinson arrived.  Pumped 4-2 on our last visit to Fir Park and lost 0-1 to them in Paisley on the first day of the season. We had only lost one of the previous seven against them, prior to that.
Could really do with something here, especially if we want to finish top six. Would take a draw.
1-1

Erhahon has been in the team for almost five years and has played under four different managers, he's one of our most experienced players  I didn't say he would or should be starting or even playing every week. My point is it would be better for us and him if he was in the first team squad getting minutes as and when instead of scoring goals against binmen in League 1 - which we already knew he was capable of doing. 
I was expecting - and indeed Robinson said - that more youngsters would get minutes this season. Instead the opposite has happened, the youth players that were getting minutes previously now aren't, and there's no sign of anyone else breaking through. Pity!

I wonder if the fact that Airdrie didn’t play him in the recent Cup match might signal a return ?   

After the League Cup disgrace there is extra pressure on the Scottish Cup this season. We can't afford - from a footballing and it seems financial - stand point to be out early of both cups. A home draw to a lower league team is all you can ask for really. Huge game for the football club and we simply must win.

Why do you keep tagging me? Absolutely bizarre behaviour

Maybe, we will never know. What we can say for certain is that Wales qualified for their third tournament out the last four, while we're sat at home. Southgate is a pragamatist and it's worked well for him in tournaments. Takes me back to the Scotland game at Wembley in Euro 2020, he wasn't caught up in the 'beating Scotland' hype train. He knew a point in that game got them through and he was absolutely fine with seeing the game out as a 0-0. They topped the group and then they made the final. He won't be the least bit arsed about the result in the Wales game if they've won the group, beat USA tonight and top spot is assured. 

What a bizarre exchange, as usual
 

Well they've drawn with USA and beat Ukraine and Austria to get there. I wish we were shite like them
England will not only rest players their whole attitude will (understandably) be to avoid injuries and suspensions for the latter stages. Up against a highly motivated Welsh team that could quite easily end up with a Wales win. I'm not saying it will, i am saying they are certainly not out yet and it wouldn't surprise me if they got through. 

Yes. The point is England will already be group winners by that point (assuming they beat the USA) and will of course not be the least bit arsed about the Wales game. Plenty teams will be knocked out after two games, Wales aren't one of them. 

Far from out of it. England win tonight and they beat a resting England in the last game and they could well get through.

Win and we are rocking, surely back into the top six and potentially as high as third. A draw would be a fantastic result and would hopefully take us above at least one of the teams on 20 points. Lose and we could end the day just five points ahead of 12th and staring yet another relegation battle in the face.

Yep played in the EPL at the weekend too. Not bad for a 'league one player'. He's very highly rated at Molineux and no wonder, absolutely outstanding player. Would love to see him continue to get minutes under Lopetegui.

We certainly weren't the most direct team in the league by a distance, like we are this season. I have no problem with that style incidentally and it can - and has - worked. I don't go to St Mirren games expecting silky football. Our issue is a lack of plan B and team's are now getting wise to the one style we have. 

It's pretty unlikely we fall to 9th tonight, Motherwell are playing Celtic after all and they always lose to them. If we get one or less points from these two games we will obviously be going into the break in 8th or 9th, which is not a good start to the season. Win tonight and we are back on the optimism train. This match does have a bit of a fork in the road feel about it.
0-0.

Must not lose.
