Surely he'll finally get a debut... more likely than us hiring a proof reader at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Hibs and Dundee are picking up points at a decent rate and seem in reasonable form - so it would need to be a pretty unbelievable run from us (which we haven't looked capable of this season) to do it. I'll stick with being happy with 7th if we can do that.. 100% - given where we were and how we were playing and set up I did not see this coming. So it is nice. Very nice. The Rangers win with some other results going our way makes the last 4 games before the split very interesting. Both Dundee and Hibs need to play Rangers in their last 4 and then we play them both in our final 2 pre split games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't realised it Wayne Foster's penalty that he saved - couldn't have happened to a more deserving fellow. I had a memory of being at a game where the ref took exception to a double-sub happening without his permission and booked all four players but hadn't realised it was this one - proper pedantic refereeing and nothing says old school like Cammy Duncan being physically lifted off the park and up the tunnel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there's no doubt this weekend is a huge chance. St Johnstone are likely to lose in Glasgow so win and we have such a gap to those below I'd be confident of not being worse than eighth. And I'd have given huge odds on that status just a few weeks ago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I genuinely feel sympathy for Obika as I can't imagine it's a good place to be if you're trying to work your way back to fitness only to break down again. Even more so when you factor in the time he missed with his hamstring pinging when he was at Morecambe as well. Having said that, it's almost like a bit we're doing now: Quote Meanwhile Jon Obika has suffered another hamstring injury in training having already had three lay-offs with a similar issue over the past 12 months. “I don’t have a specific update, we will have him scanned and find out what’s going on,” Kettlewell said.

Vietnam91 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 If we want to be top 6 we’ve got to earn it and part of that us beating our two peers for the spot. However Motherwell’s being Motherwell, what will happen will be a toothless draw with Aberdeen which is the easiest fixture we face and then the maths and odds lengthen. Happy to be proven wrong like Ricki’s header at Almondvale and Reid’s goal at Pittodrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you subscribe to highly unlikely option that he knows he's done and is at it, I don't know why anyone wouldn't have sympathy for him as a person. As you say, that must be really hard going. But as fans and a club we'll also look at the professional aspect which is to say he was a stupid signing given his history and certainly doesn't deserve a slice of the budget for next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and given it's agreed we need to win the last two pre-split, a couple of draws to stay in touch is the tactical way to go! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Not normally one for former players chat but I see Biereth scored away at Lille tonight. Reckon we'd be a few points better off if St Mirren hadn't tried to maim him at the start of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd agree - but making chances and scoring goals has never been a problem for us this season, regardless of who we've had up front - instead we've been treated to the classic sight of Motherwell forward with hands on hips looking back angrily at the defence and goalkeeper on a weekly basis. However we end up this season - this has been a good attacking Motherwell team (with the most infuriating defence for about 20 years) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
