Motherwell's season at a crossroads??

After three straight defeats is the season now at a crossroads for Jim Gannon's young side?

After losing only one game in their first thirteen Motherwell have now lost the next three, albeit to Hibs, Celtic and Rangers, but this has now pulled them closer to the bottom of the table rather than the top.

This puts a great deal of pressure on the next three games coming up against St. Johnstone, away at Hearts and then at home to the Accies. If we struggle to take points in these gams we could be in relegation trouble rather than thinking about the top six.

Skipper Mark Reynolds said after the mauling at Ibrox, "The players are devastated in the dressing room and it will be a test of character if we can bounce back next week against St. Johnstone.

"It is going to be a massive game next week and we will have to try to bounce back after that."

It will be interestine to see how Gannon reacts to the defeats, will he stop acting like Claudio Ranieri at Chelsea and pick a consistent side rather than constantly tinkering with his side.

I feel sorry for young Steven Meechan who has been given SPL experience BUT has spent a game and a half chasing Old Firm shadows. I hope he gets a run in the three games coming up and we might see how good he is.
