Mark Connolly Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 So confused. Did your thread drop off the front page overnight, I definitely looked for one! The title and tags are also from my thread O_o Mine was titled "League Leaders v Perennial Bridesmaids". No tags as it's self-explanatory! Granny D had a similarly titled one which he locked himself. I have no problem with the merged thread. Although mine mentioned where we're sitting in the league. Maybe someone could remind me where that is?

Granny Danger Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Assuming GMS is OK then it should be the same starting line up as against Aberdeen. If GMS is injured bring in Telfer (and have Connolly on the bench). The only other possible change, and I can hardly believe I'm saying this, is Erskine in for Armstrong. His contribution yesterday possibly merits it and there's no harm in reminding first team regulars that there's competition for places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contribution yesterday possibly merits it and there's no harm in reminding first team regulars that there's competition for places. I don't see Armstrong being dropped, my take on his early substitution yesterday was that it was McNamara preparing for wednesday night by resting Stretch as he was excellent in a couple of our big wins over Motherwell last season. I also wouldn't be adverse to seeing Erskine getting a start to show what he can offer, particularly if GMS isn't going to make this one. However I'd bet that if Mackay-Steven hasn't managed to shake off his ankle injury then McNamara will, much to your displeasure, push Ciftci back into the attacking trio and play either Graham or Bilate as the striker.

thisGRAEME Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Do this please I second this thought. Less Armstrong is bound to be boon for them against us, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Logic and past form would point toward a resounding home win, but we have been here too many times before for me to be that certain. Pretty confident we will win, but also wouldn't be at all surprised if we put in an ICT-this-time-last-season-esque performance and lost in a dreadful 0-1. Same team if GMS is fit, otherwise I'd be happy to see Erskine get a start in a straight swap or Ciftci in there with Mario up front. Ciftci could do some damage against whoever Motherwell pick our of their support to play at fullback for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peeeel Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 If GMS ain't fit, I'd personally like to see Telfer or Spittal play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swing_kinker Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Think Erskine has been excellent pre season and made an obvious contribution on Saturday, if GMS isn't fit I'd start with him. I think this one will be tight, I really like Motherwell and the way they go about their business. A very entertaining 2-1 us I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If the powers that be are reading,if you could let this Hurricane rage on until we have more than 2 somewhat competent defenders that would be grand. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I can see where Granny Danger is coming from re: Erskine over Armstrong, but Armstrong seems to play well against Motherwell so I'd keep him in from the start and keep Erskine hungry. We're well aware now of how Armstrong has dips in form but then bursts back with driving displays of football, so keep him in I'd say. If GMS is out, imagine it'll be Ciftci dropping back to right wing and Dow hitting the left wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 First game of the season for me after missing Pittodrie unfortunately. Only seen the five minute YouTube highlights from both teams games at the weekend, so bugger all to go on really.

Al B Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Can this be postponed if the South Stand at Fir Park is on fire? Or does that only work for home games? I'd like to just skip Wednesday and go straight to Thursday please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Although we kept a clean sheet against St. Mirren our back line was all over the place and the 0 in the score line was down to Dan Twardzik in goal and some woeful finishing from Saints players. I doubt anyone has recovered sufficiently in the last couple of days, so I'd expect the same back four, which is a bit of a worry. In my opinion we should play this clever and just shite fest it for the 90 minutes, if we leave any kind of space at the back we are going to get murdered.

Alert Mongoose Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Well that's fucking stupid, it's only when full cards are on is it not? Next up - Celtic. Tonight's game will be harder to win than giving Celtic a pumping. Just need to spend the rest of the week checking that all the paperwork is in order.
