Popular Post KTID65 Posted August 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2023 Just a wee thanks to the Well fans for joining in the tribute to Gordon Stirling yesterday, it was class but not unexpected as I remember Motherwell fans unfurling a banner at Rugby Park for Liam Kelly’s father a week after he passed away at the league cup final. As for the game I thought a draw would have been a fair result but well done to Motherwell and good luck for the rest of the season. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there is a ‘clap’ at more games than not nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant think of one. Maybe McLeish's first season after he inherited wee Tommys team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league cup probably skews it towards modern managers I'd reckon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Had a look back and McLeishs first 22 games in charge had a record of W9 D8 L5 2 of those games were against Dortmund, but it was also the year we finished 2nd in the League to Rangers. There were a few league cup ties and 2 Uefa games against Hanvar Botfelag! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously been phenomenal but until he pulled it out at HT, we were in a significantly different mood with the summer's recruitment work so far looking...50-50, let's say. So while his headline stats are incredible, I doubt Hibs would consider him worth the effort just yet. I'm not convinced they'll bother with someone under contract but if they do and they're looking within Scotland, Robinson is a far more obvious choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I've just taken a look at our September fixtures... Hearts, St Mirren, Rangers and Celtic. Hmmm. We could conceivably lose them all (though if Dundee can beat Hearts, surely we can too... And we owe St Mirren some payback...) Predictions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could certainly play reasonably well and lose them all but at the same time if we play reasonably well v post-Greece Hearts and at home to St Mirren, we probably won't lose both. If you offered me three points from the four I'd take it, delighted with four and five or better would be verging on passports out stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they've got a trip to Greece on Thursday, but can't see them making the same mistake again in the following league game. Would absolutely take a point from Tynecastle. If we can get through September with four points from those games, I think that's a reasonable return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Manhattan Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Ideally we get through September with minimal damage - as above, 4 or 5 points would be nice. Then hopefully we get Butcher and Mika back and really start taking diddies to the woodshed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I don't like how this season has started for others. Could be anyone in that bottom 6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Should be an interesting few months if Aberdeen and Hearts make the group stages as they don't have the squads or managerial experience really to cope with playing twice a week til the end of the year. Even Celtic and Rangers can be off it when they have to balance the games. Add in the league cup for some of those and it could make for an interesting table come Christmas as people will drop points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second is with Hibs hibsing so hard, there's not just the certainty a non city team will be top six but every chance they won't recover to fifth - so Europe is there for the taking for us, Killie, St Mirren etc. Still plenty time to change ofc and the look of the squads on Friday morning may colour things too...but there's reason for some cautious optimism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
