David Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 It may seem strange after being knocked out of the cup at the semi-final stage on Sunday, but I'm far more optimistic than I was before the game. I know Killie are doing quite well at the moment, but I fancy us to take at least a point from this game, with three being a good bet. Anyone want to see changes to the team that started the game against Rangers? I guess there's the possibility of Jones coming in from the start on Wednesday, but I'd rather see the same team start the game as did on Sunday.

bigmcd Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Im going to say if killie sell sammon tonight then we will win the game 2-1 as he is there main goal threat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I still think we'll get beat again i know we lifted our game for the semi and it was encouraging but Killie are better than us at the moment. 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Copper 2 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Same team as the Semi final, and three points are in the bag... Great team performance Sunday, lets carry it onto Wed night. Motherwell 3-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Same team as the Semi final As long as Murphy doesn't start left mid again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfcdez Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Think Richie is right in saying Eremenko out , so minus him and Sammon , if he goes before window closes , Killie become much less of a threat . 2-0 'Well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yir Elder Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 My main concern, apart from Killie's good form, is that the games turns out to be a bit like 'after the Lord Mayor's show' as far as Motherwell are concerned. After putting in a great shift on Sunday in a prestigeous game, I just worry about the fitness and spirit amongst the players. Hopefully my fears are unfounded, but I wouldn't be surprised if we made a couple of changes. If we have a new face in the squad the you'd expect him to feature, along possibly with Gunning. However I also think McCall might hold off from too many alterations until the Stranraer cup tie, where we are more likely to get away with doing that. If Sammon goes then it certainly increases our chances, although Eremenko (available for this game before serving the rest of his ban), Taouil and Kelly will provide enough of a threat to us. It should be close but I think we'll pinch it 2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is Eremenko no back? Not much scope for change but I imagine McCall may be forced into a couple of changes as there will be a few heavy legs after Sunday. Hope we stick with the 3 man midfield but a vast improvement is required from Humphrey and Murphy in terms of supporting Sutton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Lol, just realised this game is at home. Silly me would have been heading to Rugby Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandluc Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I think we'll be encouraged by the performance on Sunday. However, Killlie are no mugs so I reckon a 1-1 draw is in the offing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I will have completed a 10 hour day at work and an hours drive to get to Fir Park on Wednesday so I just hoping the game doesn't put me to sleep 2-0 Well Murphy and Sutton to score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Will still go most likely, although I'm seriously thinking about Stranraer. Will have to be one or the other though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we stick with the 3 man midfield but a vast improvement is required from Humphrey and Murphy in terms of supporting Sutton. They do there work making space, and dragging defenders out wide...IE they often double up on Murphy and Humphrey, that creates space in the middle for Lasley and Jennings to exploit, hence the Man of the Match award going to Jennoe. He was given all the space in the world to work with, because Rangers were worried about the pace of both Humphrey and Murphy, that is not taking anything away from Jennoe as he was outstanding as was Lasley. Think of the bigger picture, it is seldom that your wingers get man of the match awards without the midfield being a close shout for the award, normally its one or the other never really close between wingers and playmakers... Either or... not normally both in the hat. Murphy and Humphrey might not of been the star performers Sunday, but ill tell you what there work rate and the ability to drag the defence wide was perfect for the game plan Sunday. Hence a tight game, if you create the space the chances will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-in-Oz Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Team played really well in the cup against Dundee then were gash in the league so just hoping we don't have a repeat performance after the semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Looking forward to the game. Eremenko is back for this one and will be straight back into the team. Sammon signed for Wigan today and i think Miguel will play at top, although http://www.evertonfc.com/player-profile/kieran-agard/ was signed on loan today and could start. Wee Mehdi has been on form and was unreal on saturday when we were robbed at Hamilton. 21 league games in a row we've scored, hopefully keep it going on wednesday. Bryson should be back in contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feeling isn't helped by the fact, as far as I can remember, we have lost every game we've played immediately after a semi final!!

something else Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'd drop Craigan and move Saunders into central defence with Hutch. Hateley in at right back. Jones back on the left of midfield Randolpph Hateley Hammell Saunders Hutchison Humphrey Jennings Lasley Jones Murphy Sutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebsbarmyarmy Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 whats the odds on a motherwell player being sent off as steve o reilly is the referee Cant believe we have this fanny again and Jennings is playing.

Finlay Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 St Johnstone looking good for the 3 points against Accies. This will see us drop to 8th. Our next two league games are at Ibrox and Pittodrie. A win tomorrow night is crucial or we could soon see ourselves not even being seeded for the League Cup next season.

Shaka Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 dropping like a stone now, a win tomorrow is a must, cause Rangers will most likely hammer us next week in the league and id put money on aberdeen beating us just cause that old decrepid c**t is manager and they have Blackman who is a stick on to score was actually a little confident for tomorrow seeing theyve sold Sammon but with that bawbag O`Reilly in charge its up in the air again, I hope the prick rips his hammy in the warm up or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
