It is safe to say Motherwell did not let the Scottish Cup defeat by Aberdeen get spirits down.
Scoring five goals against St Mirren on Saturday was a pleasant surprise but it was bittersweet knowing we failed in the cup.
When we are repeatedly told that we play the best football in the country and have some of the best statistics in Europe, the failure in both cup competitions is doubly frustrating.
Technically speaking, we are not out of the race for the Premiership title. All we need is for Hearts, Celtic and Rangers to drop more points and for us to win nearly every game between now and the end of the season. That will likely not happen, but a girl can dream.
The race between the top four will go down to the very last game of the season and even if we are not close to winning it, we will definitely influence where the trophy lands.
We have all heard of helicopter Sunday - we might get ScotRail Saturday depending on whether the trophy needs to be sent up the Clyde or over to Edinburgh.
Now we are out the cup we have no excuse for dropping points. We must take advantage of Celtic still having at least one European game to play and that teams lower down the table can take points off our rivals.
Before the split, we have Dundee United at home, Dundee away, Celtic away, Hibs at home, Falkirk at home and Hearts away.
The games against both Dundee sides, Hibs and Falkirk are all must-wins for us.
If we can take a draw from both Celtic and Hearts, we will be skipping into the split with our heads held high.
Until then I will continue to do the mental gymnastics needed to try to secure us that league trophy.
