Pingu Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Gino's suspended, right? Chance to see Humps and Shanks together, with Shankland up top, please. Can't believe I'm about to suggest a side without Stephen Kingsley in it, but I'd go with: Clark Hill Sibbick Rowles Smith Snodric Devlin Cochrane McKay Humphrys Shankland Subs: Stewart, Kingsley, Atkinson, Halliday, Kio, Grant, Forrest, Kuol, Oda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam11 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 They’re really struggling particularly at home, so let’s not give them any encouragement.

OTT Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I don't think playing Humps and Shanks together is good. Humps can really change the game form the bench, so why risk losing that threat by starting both? I think Kuol could probably come right in for Gino.

karipidis Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I like the look of Kuol but the front 3 will be Shankland, Humphrys and McKay and rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettigrewsstylist Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Kuol will, short term, continue to come off bench IMO. Motherwell at rock bottom. Hope they dont get anything on Wed to "lift them" I never want Liedoon to win so that is a concession. Fir park not a happy hunting ground for us historically but can see us doing something next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt-Zeefuik Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The calls to drop McKay made sense to me a few weeks ago but his form has been good the last few. While not knowing what training looks like of course, I’d start him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Sort of game we should be going out and using as a marker after our wee mini wobble against Livi and Rangers . Dundee United and Hamilton victories since then and this would cement our return to form in results . Motherwell are not a great side and we should be able to put out a settled team and be too strong for them , even away from home . Not to say we won’t lose or draw , but we will probably be favourites with the bookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New manager bounce could be a factor of course but unlike United I do not see them as a team who have better players than their league position indicates . I think they are just quite a poor team , so I would hope that even if they really go for it to try and impress a new guy , we should have far too much for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMc Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Motherwell have been pretty honking. They will be punting long balls at our box when they get it and hoping for a break. They have very little goal threat aside from Van Veen. They have only scored 12 open play goals all season. They are also very poor at defending in wide positions and give away a lot of fouls around the box. We will want to make sure we don’t let Van Veen bully us - and make sure we are disciplined not giving fouls away that allow them to play balls into the box. Do this, and I fancy us to win by a couple of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Quaresma Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 We beat them 3-0 there last time and we'll beat them again If they want their new manager bounce they can have it on Wednesday against the liedowns Honeymoon over, then soundly beaten by us again on their own patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think it would more be about getting a first read and a few snippets for the pre-game video sessions - not like we will need to drill a new shape out on the reading field. They equally will not have had loads of time to work on anything new. Three simple instructions would be about the maximum you would think a caretaker might put in for the first few games. Gives us a chance to try to spot one or two of them and feed it in to individual player assignments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karipidis Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Next 2 games are huge for securing 3rd, as we have a difficult run after the next 2 games - Celtic (A), Aberdeen (A), Killie (A), St Mirren (H) and Hibs (A). If we get 6 points in the next 2 games, then we can go into this run of fixtures with confidence, and hopefully a quarter final win in between Celtic and Aberdeen game. Depending on Cup draw, I'd be tempted to put out the reserves away to Celtic. Anyway, I think this Motherwell team are that poor that there wont be a much of a managerial bounce, maybe a point on Wednesday against St Mirren, and then a comfortable win for us.

Id forgotten their midweek game, think that helps us in 2 ways. the initial reaction/bounce will be over, and of course they will have less time to prepare for ourselves. Fancy a win for us on Sunday, next game against St Johnstone, win these 2, Parkhead will not be too important in the grand scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise I misread your post first time - I think there will only be a few small changes in approach- but would expect few to systems given the tight turnarounds.
