Tartan Copper 2

Lets put a shout out for all those Motherwell Players who have been overlooked this time round, the only way we can bounce back from this issue is to prove Levein wrong. Saturday offers the opportunity for Murphy, Humphrey, Hammel, and Reynolds to show Levein what Motherwell Offers Scottish football, it is clear that presently Levein does not rate the players mentioned above. Pros and Cons Murphy- what does he offer Scotland ? and where and how can he improve to the point Levein cant ignore him anymore. Humphrey- What does Chris offer Scotland that they dont have already? Reynolds- What has Reynolds got that the other Central defenders selected have not? Hammel- Is he ready for the next step, is he better than the left back already selected in the Levein dream team. Please discuss all of the above, it will be interesting to read your findings!

If we put the Farce which is the Scottish National coach to one side, and actually thank him for resting some of our best players, i can see us taking all three points with no real problems, all refreshed and fully rested, stick with the same team that finnished last match. all three points. 1-3 with the Black Meister and Humphrey on the score sheet, and lets throw in Sutton.

Another pretty strange decision from the Scotland Gaffer, congrats to the young lad for the call, but surely Murphy was worth a punt, and to say last week Humphrey only just missed out on a call up, then 9 drop out and he still has not called him up, could not of been that close then... Humphrey would make mince meat of the Part timers... if your excluding the top two teams in the SPL, and it was based on who is in form, you have to put Murphy, Humphrey, and Reynolds in line for a call up, issues relating to Humphrey illegability might of held him up, but what excuse for Murphy and Reynolds? Gutted.

That really shows that Levein has no respect for the SPL, with Motherwell sitting top 3, he would still rather play players who are on the bench in the EPL, and not playing week in week out, this was the chance to show our talent we have north of the boarder less those from the Top 2 clubs, really gutted that none of our players got a look in. The players deserve a chance. Gutted.

Hibs v Motherwell All out attack, lets throw caution to the wind....are forward thinking players are on fire, why not have a real go at them. Same team as last night/less than Sutton put GOW back in. Sutton was ok last night but i think now GOW has had his bench warming stint that might highlight how pants it is being on the bench watching an in form team... GOW back Sutton out. Role on Sat, prediction Hibs 0 Motherwell 3

Well i almost got the prediction right, less the GOW and the goal for St Johnstone, one thing is for sure this has got to be the chance for Craig Levien to @least look at HUMPHREY and MURPHY for that chance, 3rd in the SPL, you dont get there unless you have some form of quality. As for the match great overall team performance, highlights will go to BLACKMAN, but HUMPHREY was outstanding, i tell you what we are whipping up a storm, we might end up losing BLACKMAN and HUMPHREY but while they are still here lets just enjoy the experience. Well done the lads. Role on Saturday.

I have no doubt this will be a tight affair,but i really think that 3 points will come, we will get off to a quick start as per norm then soak up in the last twenty, its all about getting our nose in front in the opening exchanges of the match. If we can score in the first twenty minutes i reckon we could go on to win 3 or 4 to 1.... we will always concede @home that is set in stone. Blackman and Gow should prove to be the difference in the teams scoring, but the engine of Jennings and the Pace of Humphrey will be the key to providing the assists for the above mentioned. Prediction if we score in the first twenty mins (4-1) Prediction if we dont score in the first twenty minutes (1-1) And a Scotland call up for Chris Humphrey

Well said that man, read a thread earlier which said Humphrey was poor.... sorry he must of been watching another match.... Great team performance with individual mentions for Humphrey and Jennoe.....

Great chance to bounce back and collect all three points, we seem to be playing well away from home, and the attacking game of Cally will suit our counter attacking style of football. No reason why 3 points cant be collected. Suppose alot will depend on the fitness of Murphy returning to the team, not too bothered about Lasley, i would give Forbes one more chance to impress and then its up to him to take it. Can see Blackman, Murphy and Humphrey doing some real damage. Mon The Well 1-3 Blackman(first goal)
