Motherwell Reward Robinson

The feelgood factor at Fir Park is as high as it’s been in years.to beat Partick Thistle is perhaps not a wild surprise – but a Motherwell centreback doing a Cruyff turn in the opposing penalty box to set up a goal is surely a “now I’ve really seen it all” moment.

Tremendous credit must go to manager Stephen Robinson for our start to the campaign and the board will surely be contemplating extending his deal. To offer improved contracts – for players or management – could risk upsetting the delicate balance in the dressing room, but it is hard to say it would be undeserved.

If we continue our current form into the League Cup semi-final, there will surely be enough bonus money for pay rises all round.
