steelboy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 thought i'd get this start considering we're less than 48 hours away from kick off. the board seems to have died a death this week with there being no european game, transfer news or much else motherwell related happening. i'm starting to get excited though so let's be having it.... --------------ruddy-------------- saunders craigan reynolds hammell ---------lasley forbes------------ o'brien------coke-------slane ------------sutton--------------- prediction: 2 nil to well with slane and coke grabbing the goals. it's hugely important that we get some points on the board early this season and st johnstone away and killie at home are as good an opportunity as we're likely to get. i've still got no idea how we're going to fare this season but a win on saturday will build on the momentum we gained in the europa league and be a good boost. i doubt we'll see the team i've put up but i think gannon would be taking unneccesary risks playing o'brien at RB and breaking up reynolds and craigan to include hutchison. anyway this is the acid test for gannon, europa league was the honeymoon this is the serious business starting. anyone know anywhere near the ground for a pint and a swatch of some fitba on the telly? cannae wait, fitba on a saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmen Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Really looking forward to this game, new manger, new players (maybe even more than we already have) should be a really good game. I have a feeling the team will be roughly the same as the second leg as Steuea. 1-3 win for us. bring them on. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TvTotherwell Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I was really upbeat after the Steaua 2nd Leg. . . . then i remembered I was a motherwell fan. nuthings ever that straight forward. A performance like the first half of that game and we'll win by a few goals, although with Saints being newly promoted and at home, can't see them being push overs.3 or 4 -0 if we play to pour newly seen potential. 1-1 if its back to the good old motherwell that we love.

David MFC Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 really lookin forward to this too lads. yeah the eurpean pre-season football was good, but nothiing beats the excitment of the start of a new football season. my saturdays have been dryy without awayy days and home games so lets have it !! its usualy motherwell tradition that we always take a good support to the first game of the season. so lets wish any players who do read these boards the best of luck and the team as awhole, nad lets get behind the boys !! 'MON THE 'WELL !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postiejim Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sorry to buck the trend lads but think the best we can hope for is a draw so im going 1-1, as to team selection that's anyone's guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassinari Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 An away win without conceding a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Ahhhh at last We should have the edge regarding sharpness and fitness because to our competitive matches, but they'll have a boost due it being their fist SPL game at their new ground. So given that I think it'll be a good game. Like others I think we'll see the same team as the Steaua game, and hopefully with Ruddy in goals to steady the defence and the pace and passing skill up-front we should be too much for them. I would take a draw, but hopefully a 2-1 victory to the 'well to set us up nicely for the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Did St Johnstone not win the First Division with the lowest ever point tally? Nothing to fear. 2-1 to the 'Well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain7_mfc Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Not to sure of the team although i'd be happy with a draw. 2-1 Well is my prediction though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 We have a fairly good record on games televised on BBC Alba so i'm going for 2-1 to the Well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I admit I'm not generally too optimistic when it comes to predicting our results but St. Johnstone have played quite a few friendlies with reasonable results. I'm hoping our Europa games will give us an edge on fitness and we'll get a narrow win but the score draw wouldn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_nuts Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 4-0 well. cant wait for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 they'll have a boost due it being their fist SPL game at their new ground. Eh? I know I don't keep up with other teams as much as I used to but St J got a new ground? McDiarmid is less than 20yrs old, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well73 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 We will put them to the sword 0 - 4 to the Well and in the second half............... Think we will win need to hit the deck running and I think the boss will have our boys well up for it. BRING IT ON! Mon the Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_411 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Gannon will have them fired up like never before and im confident we'll come out the blocks with a first half that could put us out of sight. 3-0 well at half time. maybe end up 3-1.

steelboy Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 We have a fairly good record on games televised on BBC Alba so i'm going for 2-1 to the Well. add that to saturn being on the cusp of mars and we're guaranteed the victory. unfortunately my granny's bunion is playing up so it's likely to rain. take a jacket!

ankles Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Got a feeling we are either rip them to shreds or come up with a First day performance to rival the infamous 5-1 gubbing at Dunfermline. dont know why but lets hope we rip them apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebsbarmyarmy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Heading up to this game with my old man and really looking forwatd to it. Fancy a 2-1 Well victory, goals from Sutton and Murphy. Feck knows what the team will be but I would go with -----------Ruddy----------- O'Brien Craigan Hutchison Hammell -------- Reynolds------- ------ Forbes Coke Murphy-------------Slane -----------Sutton----------- Should do the trick.

DEWELL Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Jim O'Brian at RIGHT BACK? You've got to be having a girraffe. . Motherwell dont do clean sheets bit if we did then 2-0 to us. In reallity 2-1. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Despite the fact that £20 to get in is a joke and Perth is a bit of a trek, I'm going!!! I'd take a draw right now to be honest, think it's vital we don't lose, followed by a win v Killie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLip69 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think this one is too close to call, first game of the season against a newly promoted side is always difficult to predict. They'll either come out the blocks all fired up and going for it or they'll sit back and play it tight until they feel their way into the game. For once I'd like to see us come out all gung ho and fired up, keep going at them and don't let them settle. Just don't know if we have the players who can do that and keep it up for 90 minutes. I'm more nervous about this match than I have been for years. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
