StirlingDosser Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 What's the thoughts then to get the league campaign started? A few comments around regarding the League Cup group stages but I'm very much in the camp of not reading too much into that. Talk of a couple more in before the weekend but for these boys to start could be a big ask. I'm going with a 1-1 draw. A fairly defensive affair on both sides with us coming back from a goal down. Can't see either manager being too crafty just yet, could be one or two properly competitive fixtures before we see the Motherwell team hit any kind of form/pattern imo. Hoping for a couple of tickets on the general sale when it is announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Bremner Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think hibs win and we’re all going to hit the panic button. 3-1 Hibs Slattery gets our goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 2 ‐ 1 to the good guys. Van Veen and Lamie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I can’t see us getting anything from this one as the season just seems to have come too early for us, especially going by GA’s comments last week about having too much work/too many games etc. The only leveller perhaps will be Hibs playing in Europe on Thursday night but I still expect them to take the points. 2-1 away win.

underboyleheating Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I’d bite your hand off for a point, however, I suspect we will take nothing from this tricky opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Apart from injuries I think the team will pick itself apart from the left wing back, personally I would go for Carroll Kelly O’Donnell, Mugabe, Lamie,Carroll Slattery, Donnelly, McGuire Watt, Van Veen & Woolery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 He mentioned that tomorrow is his first day of full training with the team, so guessing he's a couple of weeks out. Maybe a place on the bench on Sunday? Given how lackluster our pre-season/cup run has been, I predict we'll hammer hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&A not the shop Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have it in my head that draws are really common on opening day so I'll go with that. 1-1 in a fairly drab affair. If the Finnish CB comes in today then I could see him starting besides Lamie, Maguire, Donnelly and Slattery in the middle and the standard front three we've seen a lot so far this year.

Kmcalpin Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 A tough opening fixture, from which we'll do well to take anything. Its come perhaps 3 weeks too early for us. Is Slattery up for start? Maybe just too early for him - will he get 30 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2plus8 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Not sure if big Mugabi is going to be fit or not. But I’d take a snoozefest 1-0 win for the Well. Like GB, I like the look of Slattery. I can see him nicking the winner. #SIWY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Slattery has been training with us for a while now so he should be reasonably fit, maybe not 90 mins match fit, but I can see him starting.

I certainly hope so Allan. Even this early he would add something to our engine room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
