Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Just now, TexasAndy said: There is a game on Sunday, isnt there? An important one. Get the win here, first part of the season is over, we then come back and play mostly Saturdays, time to get our energy up, time to get our training and improvement into defending and attacking movements. Sunday first, any win here does, for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 ****s sake, why can the international break not be now. Assuming everyone that is injured stays injured (Kingsley as well) I'd go for- Clark Atkinson Sibbick Kent Cochrane Devlin Denholm Lowry Oda Shankland Vargas We have to win this. I'll go for an extremely optimistic 2-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Rowles to start. Concede first. Boo's from the stands. Maybe even a McAvoy gtf chant. That's my predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDevriesScores4 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Must win. Simple as that. no excuses left for naisy and frank. Yes we have injuries, so does every club.

Jambof3tornado Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Unfortunately this is already a must win. Really need naismith to step out from behind mcavoy and get back to the football he promised. Rowles on the bench or I'll be booing before my arse hits my seat!!

Nelly Terraces Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 This game HAS to be won. Naismith shouting the orders. McAvoy nowhere near the dugout, or keeps sat down & shut up the entire time. Rowles not even in the squad. Players in correct positions. Battling for their lives for the 3 points. Just fecking WIN.

Negan Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Rowles should be transfer listed but obviously wont be as he has signed a 5 year deal ( mental). McAvoy to still be lingering around encouraging the players who have no idea what they're meant to do. 1-1 after scraped equaliser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock _turd Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 The fans need to see a positive response from the players after the past week. If we win we are on the up again lose and show no response and I worry about what is happening in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Idle Talk Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hearts 1-1 Motherwell. I have sat here and tried to think of a lineup to pick and I simply cannot come up with a midfield that I like. Incredible to think that. Offiah in at right back and Sibbick in for Rowles at centre half. Those are two changes I do want to see. The rest..........hopefully NAISY can come up with something that works.

By The Light.. Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Motherwell 9 games unbeaten in the league but some of them were dead rubbers top 6 last season. They had 1 defeat in the League Cup at St Mirren 1 nil. Hopefully taking Boyce and Shankland off last night helped need them both scoring please. 2 - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Struggling to name a team for this one all of a sudden.

Scott980612 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Clark. Offiah Kent Sibbick Cochrane Devlin Lowry Vargas Oda Boyce Shankland Atkinson & Rowles drop out - too much off a liability , both off them. Lowry starts - prove your good enough to be at hearts , and use your set pieces, especially if Kingsley out Vargas and Oda to stretch Motherwell back line - need to be direct and work hard 1-0 hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Loblaw Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Sibbick should partner Kent. A proper midfielder should start alongside Devlin, be it Tait, Denholm, Halliday or Grant. Even if they aren't great having an actual midfielder will help the balance massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I would probably go for Zander Offiah Kent Sibbick Kingsley Devlin Grant Vargas Shankland Cochrane Tagawa Getting Rowles out of the team here is important. I think now that Cochrane has finished his suspension, it is probably right to get him back in the team, but with the team having a potential confidence issue, I kind of want Kingsley in there as an older head. I think Sibbick should be rearing to go, and his game time will have him a lot more match sharp than a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
