It had been seven games since Motherwell had tasted victory, and after two strong performances that included coming within seconds of victory against St Johnstone earlier in the week, the stakes couldn't have been higher when St Mirren visited North Lanarkshire.  The performance levels have been strong over the last few games, but manager Alfred Johansson wanted his side to tighten up in both boxes. Defensively, Alex Paulsen had very little to do, and the chances arrived for Ibrahim Said, Tawanda Maswanhise and Jake Girdwood-Reich, but nobody could convert. As the game ticked closer to its conclusion, it looked like it could have been another near miss. But when Regan Charles-Cook chased down a ball in behind and the St Mirren defender used his arm to take the ball away, VAR had no choice but to intervene. Lukas Fadinger dispatched the subsequent penalty, as a sigh of relief was blown around the stadium.

The manager gives his thoughts on the game against St Mirren at Fir Park.

Seb Palmer-Houlden thinks the previous two performances have been strong and feels like things just aren't going Motherwell's way at the minute.  But the striker thinks if they keep playing the way they are, results will turning sooner rather than later.

Alfred Johansson reflects on a disappointing end to Wednesday night's match against St Johnstone, saying the reaction from the players in the dressing room was a positive one. Johansson confirms the team news ahead of Saturday's match against St Mirren, as he gets set to welcome three players potentially back into his squad.

It looked like Motherwell were going to secure their first win in seven attempts, following goals from Ibrahim Said and Tawanda Maswanhise.  With the Steelmen 2-1 up going into the final ten seconds of the match, the losing streak looked like it would be over. Then, in the cruellest of ways, it was snatched away from them.

The manager gives his post-match views.

Alfred Johansson believes his team's performance on Sunday was strong, but wants to see improvement at both ends of the pitch if they are to get results. He believes everyone at Fir Park remains fully confident going into matches, as there are clear signs of things moving in the correct direction. Johansson is excited to take on St Johnstone, a team he believes are similar to Motherwell this season.

Jordan McGhee says the mood remains high in the camp despite recent results.  McGhee made his first Motherwell start on Sunday against Hearts, his first start in 560 days. McGhee talks us through his journey through setback and injury.

It was six straight defeats following Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Hearts in the William Hill Premiership, as Braga and Miller's goals sealed a somewhat fortunate comfortable victory for the Jambos. With the poor run continuing, the performance levels remained strong but with their next match just a couple of days away, Motherwell are in need of a result more than anything.

The post-match thoughts of Alfred Johansson.

Emmanuel Longelo believes staying level headed and calm during this difficult run will stand the team in good stead going forward. The full-back explains the manager's impact and how he's helping the squad during this losing run.

Alfred Johansson says he'll draw on previous experience in Norway to help guide his squad through this bump in the road. Motherwell are looking to end a losing run of five matches against Hearts on Sunday in the William Hill Premiership, with the Motherwell boss citing a difficult run at Rosenborg as an example of what can happen when you turn things around. Johansson is looking forward to facing Hearts, and wants to see the squad as a collective improve this weekend.
