Yassin Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 We're probably slightly unlucky to have come away with 3 losses from the Hearts game so far. The first league game was a 0-0 game settled by a freak goal, and we were well in the LC tie. Tynecastle away last time should probably have been called off for crimes against humanity. 6 wins on the trot would be ridiculous, can see us ending up with a score draw. 2-2 (Main, McCormack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilwell86 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I seem to recall reading somewhere Mccormack is out for this one? maybe in the article about Hastie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me that thinks the signing of an unfit and injured McCormack may not be as good s bit of business as we first though. At this rate we will be lucky to get any impact from him in what's left of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I was pretty excited at the signing with lots of talk about his quality, there are times i’ve actually forgotten he is even with us. Pretty shocked at his condition when I first saw him, he just looked a million miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don’t think it’s just his fitness. I actually cannot see for the life of me where this McCormack fits into the current formation and style of play. Also he actually has hardly touched the ball in all of his appearances to date. I would have expected more from his cameos and a least some evidence of his quality. I also was excited by the signing but again it’s looking pointless. Decent wedge of wages no doubt to warm (a fair portion) of the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 We are better off with him out injured than walking about on the park. I don't see him being match fit anytime this season. He has too much weight to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't think it works as well if you have a few million in the bank and are pulling in 40 grand a week for the next 60 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not even making the PNE squad these days , think he might be injured, that said he would probably still be a better option than Main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The African Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I see that other results today haven’t really helped our cause and we are back in eighth place before we have kicked a ball. A salient reminder that it is what we do that matters and we just need to keep our heads down and concentrate on our next match. Hopefully we can keep the run going and make it six in a row. I have to admit that it will be all the sweeter as I have no affection for Hearts and haveway too many grudges against them to ever see that changing.

weeyin Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Glad we pulled away from the relegation zone though. That is developing into a real dogfight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Same starting 11 as the last game for me again. Hartley in if Aldred can't make it. The only other consideration is that Gboly just shades it for me over Frear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hearts have hit a patch of good form like ourselves but I've really not been impressed with them this season. They only beat us at Fir Park due to a McHugh clanger and the league match at Tynecastle was the absolute definition of utterly turgid high ball football. And if it's not excusable for Motherwell to play like that, Hearts should be three times as ashamed. Hearts have only won 1 of their last 16 matches when they have conceded and as all their best players are defenders, with the exception of Naismith, I think that's going to be the key factor in this match. Our attackers - Akibiyi, Turnbull, Hastie, Main - will have to over come Souttar and Berra, likely be their toughest test so far, but if we can do that and score, we should get something out of the match.
