Don't forget that we report it the day after as well. Occasionally with a hospital bed selfie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoBair14 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 If Aberdeen and Ross County win tonight Motherwell go two points off the top 6 with 4 games to go playing both Dundee and Hibs in the 4 games The other way of thinking if Aberdeen and Ross County were to win Motherwell are closer to a relegation play off position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 County equalising against Hibs in the last minute is helpful, although a win for County would've been preferable. Aberdeen losing to Dundee isn't helpful, as a draw would've been preferable, but it's still funny to laugh at Aberdeen. Top 6 is still on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it unlikely, add to that that it would be so typically Motherwell to beat Rangers and lose to the worst Aberdeen team you will ever see. Aberdeen were utterly shocking tonight and if we have anything about us on Saturday we should be able to beat them. However all my Motherwell supporting life the one this we consistently can't do is deal with rising expectations in the stands. That said it would make for some real excitement in the stands for a change if we took it right down to the Hibs game. I still says the odds are against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Having seen us finish 2nd a 3rd a few times, win the playoff against Rangers and make the top 6 from a last minute goal at Livi (to name just a few) I don't buy in to the old story about incapable of dealing with rising expectations. Of course, the truth is that there isn't much to choose between 6 or 7 teams in our division, so any minor drop in performance can lead to a defeat against an evenly matched team. If we're going to string a few results together, now would be a good time to do it, but Dundee just made it a wee bit harder for us to make the top six. Being at the expense of Aberdeen did soften the blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched us for 46 years , dealing with rising expectations is most certainly the exception. Failures in the Cup competitions over than period are utterly littered with defeats to teams from lower divisions defeats to other SPFL teams no better than us when we'd expect to win them.

Chanzeypopz Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Aberdeen playing last night and us being fresh from a 2 week break i think will help our cause on Saturday, Its still a long shot however and i think its going to go down to the wire. Have a feeling Celtic/Rangers as well as Utd/Raither Rovers is going to go down to the wire too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully they are tired bruised and battered and we can take advantage and beat them soundly although any type of win for us will work, just as long as it’s 3 points.

grizzlyg Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Fact we are all talking about top 6 chances is great credit to kettlewell and the players. We have been in relegation trouble for a while so now to be aiming higher is great but in my usual cheerleader role we need to create a great atmosphere on Saturday. Aberdeen on terrible run so we can't give them any encouragement. COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Looking forward to the game and I think it's fair to say there's more optimism in Lanarkshire than there is in the granite city. Abderdeen have really lost their way since McInnes left and clearly a team struggling with confidence and form. A Not saying we'll win but at least we're thinking we could.

I know many of our fan's behaviour on social media was laughable but it must be stressful listening to Aberdeen fan's unrealistic expectations. 5 hours ago, Optimus Prime said: Various questionmarks over his tennure at Fir Park have come to light since he left.

I must admit I thought last year he had done the dirty as I felt he was tapped up by Aberdeen but after listening to Derek Weir's interview a month or so ago I got the impression that with all the cutbacks that have been made, Alan probably felt he has taken the club as far as he could go as things he had built had regressed plus I was privy to one project, the club had in the pipeline but that has been shelved for now.

I know many of our fan's behaviour on social media was laughable but it must be stressful listening to Aberdeen fan's unrealistic expectations. From what I read last week, it seems to have been a directive from Cormack to avoid social media: Quote On X, formerly Twitter, Cormack posted: "Dons fans - @Alan_Burrows and I totally get your frustration. That was sickening to watch at the end in injury time today. "The criticism that we are only on here when things are going well is fair, but that’s mainly because we cannot answer questions about our employees, like our players and coaches, or discuss detailed concerns which could impact morale.
