LiviLion Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 SHE'S FINE THANKS We might not be though, have we ever beaten Motherwell? I'm not convinced. Praying to all the gods that Devlin is back, defence doesn't look anywhere near as settled without him. Parkes is probably the most obvious replacement if not. George de Lucas - Obileye - Devlin Mackay - Holt - Sangare - Penrice Pittman - Nouble Anderson Going for a very ugly 1-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Motherwell to lose by a goal, no striker to look like scoring, and eternal frustration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I hope both teams will be remembering the tragic circumstances that happened during the week and will be marking it accordingly. Imagine Celtic conceding a goal and losing the game in the 95 minute? Obviously one minute of applause; laugher and general derision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly be happy with a 1-1 draw at the moment; biggest question though; will Devlin be fit and able to last 90 minutes? With the international break coming up its possible that Martindale will continue to rest him until the Killie game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best performances in recent memory of a Livi team for me came from a few seasons ago where we absolutely battered Motherwell and even then it finished 1-0. Even after such dominance I'm pretty sure they hit the post in the last few minutes. My main hope for this game is to see Martindale employ his attacking team / style. Our biggest weakness is goal scoring so it would be good to see how we fair when we set up to win rather than avoid defeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livi La Vida Loca Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Have also just seen that there's a yellow weather warning in place for rain from Friday night to Sunday morning with rain forecast all day on Saturday. Hopefully the pitch holds up better than it did when the game with Aberdeen got postponed a few years ago..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menga Bus Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Doesn’t sound like Martindale will risk Devlin, and would rather give him till the Killie game. Don’t think we’re really in the position to be resting him in games like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Mrs. McSquackle and little Miss McSquackle seemed to be more keen than me for me to go to this. Something to do with them going shopping so I've bought a ticket. Always a tough place to go and, although we've been playing well, my hopes are tempered by our lack of a killer touch. 1-1 draw for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 If this was away to them we'd have no chance, we might manage another home draw against them though. Given how close Motherwell came to taking a draw against Celtic, and only losing 1-0 against Sevco, and are sitting above us in the league, i can see Martindale setting us up really defensively, and dropping Anderson to the bench for Guthrie up front, shelling long balls to him. Hope i'm wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I fear that after three games of playing well and getting nothing that on Saturday we may play poorly and get nothing. We can’t be great every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boozyBJ Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I like Theo Bair, his hold up play has been perfectly fine so far, but he HAS to start chipping in with some goals. I don’t think much of what I’ve seen of Shaw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think much of what I’ve seen of Shaw. Bair has done far better than I was expecting and his hold up and link up play is pretty decent, but he hasn’t looked close to scoring since that opening game at Dundee. I can’t even think of many (any?) shots on target he’s had since then. Wouldn’t be against seeing Wilkinson starting up front for this one. Big game this one to try and get the ball rolling again after nothing to show from 3 good performances. It’ll be tight, and hope we can sneak it 1-0 but wouldn’t be devastated with a point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Will we wear our away strip for this one? Have we actually worn it at all this season yet, League Cup maybe? I can’t mind. Edited October 5, 2023 by Swami 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are set up for the midfielders to score until we change formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Motherwell to win by the odd goal after a shitfest of a performance just to prove that how you play doesnt matter its the result that counts..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Need a point here. The quality of the forwards we’ve signed (Biereth aside, potentially) remains a concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
