Dundee v Motherwell 03/05/2025

[SteelmaninOZ]

Expecting a lot tougher game from Dundee than St Johnstone. I think we will win this one though 0-1 for us.

Dundee will certainly score given the frailty of our defence and midfield. However, a draw is not beyond us and would represent a good result. 2-2

Stop Simon Murray scoring and we have a chance.

They have shipped even more goals than us (or anyone else) this season, so we need to keep the pressure on their defence.

Swapping his SPF100 sunblock for chip fat should do the job.

This season I’ve thought that Cameron has bossed the games against us so he’s someone we need to nullify also. 

[thewelllfan]

With us basically needing a point from 4 games to avoid the relegation play-off I'd go with:

Ox

Koutrombis Gordon Casey Thompson

Miller Halliday

Sparrow Slattery Watt

Armstrong

That's probably the most balanced team we can put out if Maswanhise is fit I'd have him on the right over Sparrow.

I predict MJC will predict 2 0 Dundee and predict we wont win another game this season and predict that we end up in the play off spot.

We need to go deeper!

Sparrow and SOD suspended for this due to yellow cards

I’d maybe push watt up and play Maswanhise on the left.  sparrow has been one of our more consistent performers. I think 

just seen yellow card post so Maswanhise in for Sparrow

[texanwellfan]

If we play Maswanhise Slattery and Watt behind Armstrong maybe we can actually create some chances for him to see if he can score goals. He’s had a thankless task of just chasing down hopeful balls and opposing players so far.

Just depends what Dundee team turn up. I think they are in a false position as they are a decent side with a decent manager. Their season has been full of 45min disasters followed by 45mins of looking like world beaters.

as with all of our games this season…. Who knows what the result will be.

[grizzlyg]

I would take a draw now if offered. If SOD suspended we have Casey and that's it. No idea who could even slot into centre half,Armstrong?

Thank feck we won on Saturday

That's a gingerist statement and I'm offended.

Thats assuming Gordon is deemed fit to play.

I guess it could be a back 4 of Koutroumbis Casey Seddon and Thompson.

Were in no danger of finishing in the play off spot now so we would be as well giving gordon the rest of the season off to recover from the concussion,there's no point in risking him in games that will mean very little to us.

If you think we will be in relegation play off spot then surely the next 4 games would be vital?  Remember teams will take points off each other so I think we will be fine

I had to read my post back 😂,i definitely put we aren't in any danger of finishing in the play off spot and because of that I would give gordon the rest of the season off.like you grizzly I think we will be fine this season.

[Kmcalpin]

I don't think we will end up in 11th place, but we're not 100% safe yet. Yes, the other teams will take points off each other of course. For example if all the other 4 teams beat St Johnstone and also beat us. There's 6 points each to start with. In that scenario we could only finish above Ross County. If they were to get one more draw they could possibly finish above us on goal difference. 

Very unlikely I know but not impossible. The more points St Johnstone can accrue the better for us.

Saints next 2 games are home to killie and Ross Co.  They are in last chance saloon so will be going all out.  I will be routing for them but obviously hoping we can get at least 1 point in last 4 games as surely that will be enough
