Mark McGhee led my beloved Motherwell to a narrow 1-0 derby victory over Hamilton at the weekend to stretch our unbeaten run to 10 games in all competitions (it sounds better than 4 wins from 10 games, doesn't it?) and fire us into the top 6 for the first time in a loooong time. It seems we're doing ok without "star" striker Chris Porter who departed for sunnier shores (well, Derby) in the transfer window. I'm concerned our goal output isn't going to be good enough to sneak into the top 4 and a UEFA spot. Love him as I do, David Clarkson is not the most prolific of scorers thus far in his career (which is a nice way of saying he couldn't hit a coo's erse with a shovel). Still, we have young Cillian Sheridan on loan from Celtic for the rest of the season and despite not getting on the score sheet on Saturday he was man of the match. Time will tell.
Given the atrocious start to the season we had it's really rather amazing we are still within striking distance. That's one good thing about the top 6 splitting off to play one another for the last few games of the season. It usually means every game has some significance and there are a lot of 6-pointers. I hope the Steelmen are in the shakeup come May. In some ways our team is stronger this season. Losing Porter's a blow that's perhaps as significant as losing McCormack to Cardiff was at the end of last season. I'm sure if anyone can guide us there, it's MMG.
Mon the 'Well!
