Andy_P Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Forget about nine points in a week. Forget about staying third. Just pump them. And the rest will take care of itself. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Looking forward to Sunday's derby but we must take nothing for granted. Accies would like nothing more than to dampen our day. They'll prove difficult opponents as always and I doubt they'll come to Fir Park to slug it out with us toe to toe and to entertain us. Hopefully the likes of Donnelly, Long and perhaps Cole will be available. Does anyone know whats wrong with Cole and Long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long was a doubt before the Killie game so maybe the plastic didn't help whatever was wrong.

middleeastdave Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Considering our recent form and lying third in the SPFL I would love to see a good turnout of Well fans, it would be great to see at least 5,000 home fans, is that too much to expect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I know we can’t take anything for granted but would love to hammer them and boost our goal difference. We are capable of doing that but we can’t go into this game thinking it is going to be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Our fixtures for a few weeks after the winter break are a lot tougher than they have been recently, could do with a win here. 4-1 to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Robinson’s quote re accies: Their position doesn'treally relay how they have been playing, their performances have been decent. i Have to disagree, their league position accurately reflects their inability to score goals and defend goals as compared to the other teams in the league. Of course they could still beat us on the day but Let’s hope we continue to play well enough to not let that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 This feels like the sort of game where if we get an early goal they might fold. Ideally I'd like to see James Scott on the score sheet and some game time for Maciver and also Semple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livivoice Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I'm aware a few 'Well fans are thinking this will be straightforward. Word of caution. Accies will deploy same tactics that saw them unluckily lose recently at Celtic Park. We will I feel have to be very patient and be prepared to go deep into the match before securing victory. Can see a 1-0 victory for us which will send us all happy into the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 An early goal is the best way to kill off that game plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I'm totally complacent, we will hammer them. The good thing is that the players wont be complacent, and we'll still hammer them.

So what you're saying is go all in on Grimshaw or O'Hara to score anytime. Frankly hoping for a comfortable afternoon but if you offer me Motherwell 1 (Grimshaw 90+1) Hamilton 0 then I'd rip yer arm off and beat you with the wet end...

Kmcalpin Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Like all of you, I hope we beat Accies comfortably, but am taking nothing for granted. As a few posters know, it would really rile them if our Academy graduates score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Any kind of win will do for me. Three points and keep the feel good feeling going into the break. Anyone who thinks it will be a canter is kidding themselves. The standard from third to twelfth in our league doesn't span too much of a quality gap. Throw in the local derby factor and you can take nothing for granted. Let's hope that the growing confidence within the squad from a great run of results and decent performances is enough to get the job done.

Mortonhallwell Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 We just know Accies will bring their brand of anti football to stop us from playing. I expect a very frustrating afternoon ahead. Just hope they don't score first as their time wasting, fouling and general spoiling tactics will reach a new level. However we have the quality and class to ensure the points remain at Fir Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Must confess that part of me hates these games. If we win, we're supposed to. If we lose, we never hear the end of it. At least it's at Fir Park and not on that plastic travesty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
