Can Sparrow end debut season as Well's top scorer?
Wing-back Tom Sparrow is eyeing a goal in Dingwall on Sunday to end his debut season with Motherwell as the club's top scorer. The 22-year-old Welshman is tied on six goals for the campaign with midfielder Callum Slattery and forward Tawanda to Sunday's season-ending game at Ross County, Sparrow is well award Slattery "might have something to say about" his attempts to outdo him in the scoring added: "We are both on six but we will see what happens in Dingwall. But that would be nice."He will tell you that he's played a lot less games than me. I will tell you that he plays higher up the pitch than me but he's been on fire so if he finishes top then there will be no complaints from me."It's not something I go into games massively thinking about. My position is more about defending first and foremost and then getting up and supporting play and getting in and around when I can."But as the season has gone on, I have felt more confident that I can contribute in that and it's definitely something I want to take into next season."Instructions from recently-appointed manager Michael Wimmer, who took charge in February, have helped the goals goal for Sparrow, who has three in nine games."Quite early on he noticed that I hang a bit wider in build-up play and goals are scored at the back post and getting in nice and narrow," he said."It's something we spoke about and it's worked a couple of times, and I had another couple of chances where I probably should have scored in that position. So I will keep that going."

'O'Donnell & Slattery shine as Miller signs off in style'
We asked for your views on Motherwell's 3-0 win against what some of you said:Stephen: I thought Luke Armstrong looked fit, strong and powerful when he came on. He was a real menace to Kilmarnock's back line, which was rewarded with two good goals. Fingers crossed we can keep him into next season. Regarding Lennon Miller, he has been a good player for Motherwell, but I think it is best for all parties involved that he leaves to advance his career and provide Michael Wimmer with added cash to carry out the annual rebuild of our squad. Between those on loan and out of contract, we may lose half of the first team this Three good goals against ten men, which helped. Yet again, Callum Slattery was the best player, we need to build a team around him for next season. We do need some players with speed and guile, and robust A shaky first half for Motherwell, struggled in the final third. Second half, Armstrong made a huge difference up top. Stephen O'Donnell and Slattery were brilliant from the back to attack. Amazing send off for Some good first-touch football, and with a man advantage, always looked like scoring. Now time for a clear out and bring in some quality, rather than A very welcome win to end our home season. Killie struggled with a red card and their manager situation, but we eventually got the job done. Miller deserves the accolades, and he's a fantastic example for other young players, as well as parents, when you think about how his Dad has helped him. I really hope we do some decent business in the summer, to replace Miller and also to get a striker who'll get us 20 goals a season.D: A sluggish first half where we had most of the possession but didn't make it count in the final third, red card for Killie absolutely correct, however and thereafter we controlled the game when we have notoriously struggled against 10 men over the years. The introduction of Armstrong for Harry Paton was a masterstroke, going two up front and dominating the second half, and scoring three good quality goals. Look forward to the summer and the recruitment from Wimmer.

Motherwell star sets sights on seventh place, and top goal-scorer kudos
Callum Slattery is pleased that Motherwell can still be best of the bottom six Motherwell star Callum Slattery says going into Sunday's season finale at Ross County with seventh place in the Premiership up for grabs means they've kept to their word. After narrowly missing out on a top-six finish, Michael Wimmer and his players said their target was to pick up as many points as possible from the last five games. Other than a 3-0 defeat at Hearts last Saturday, Motherwell have done well in that regard, with wins over St Johnstone and Dundee, leading to Wednesday night's 3-0 home win over Kilmarnock, in which Slattery netted, in between a Luke Armstrong double. That leaves Motherwell a point behind seventh-placed Hearts as they head for Dingwall, while the Jambos visit Killie. Slattery said: 'It gives us a chance of finishing seventh. We said after the split that we wanted to pick up as many points as we could, so it's good that we picked up three points today. 'It was good to get the goal. When the other team is down to 10 men they can be quite hard to break down, so to get three goals is really pleasing. 'They were tough to break down until we got the first goal, and then once we got the first they opened up quite a bit. 'It was three goals, but we could have got a handful more.' Slattery is level on six goals with team-mates Tawanda Maswanhise and Tom Sparrow, who recently let slip that they're in competition to see who can bag the most goals. Slattery said: 'I think there's a general competition amongst the lads at the start of a season, who can get the most goals, finish the top-goalscorer, and we're [Sparrow and Slattery] neck and neck at the moment. 'Six goals is good, I said to myself when I was injured that when I'm back I want to get forward more, and be in the box more and stuff like that. 'I've done that quite a bit in games, the ball falls to you sometimes, and other times it doesn't, but it's just good to keep helping the team, really.'
