deadasdillinger Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Dunno if I've missed a thread on this one. Think this could be a stretch too far given our efforts in Europe. I know some will say it's only the start of the season so it shouldn't take too big a toll, but players arriving home in the wee hours of this morning won't get a chance to do any meaningful tactical work for this one. Hope I'm wrong, but if the price for going that bit further in Europe is that we falter on other fronts I'll take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Nah, there hasn’t been a thread. Killie fans are excited and enjoying themselves on other fronts. Motherwell fans at the moment are feeling very meh. Killie just need to be at about 75% to win this I think. I’m maybe feeling more pessimistic and apathetic than other Motherwell fans but I genuinely think the next few months are going torture to watch for us. Not confident we can win many games at all with these players available to us. Fancy Killie to win this in midfield and take an early 2 goal lead. We will huff and puff, pass sideways and backwards until maybe scrambling a goal back when Killie tire. 2-1 final result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzo Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Could not care less. Send the C team out for this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 It’s funny how one great result really changes your view. I don’t want us to lose obviously but after last night I’m almost taking the view of not caring (within reason) about domestic football for the next couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamMFC Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Even with their European midweek exploits I reckon Killie will have too much for us. This team with all our injuries doesn't fill me with any confidence at all. I hope with Blaney out this is the game we get to properly see what Balmer can do. Killie to win 2-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I am on holiday for the quarter final tie (unless it is moved to the Monday?) so feel slightly detached from this, if we win I won’t be part of the next round, if we lose, the same. Lets recreate the 5-4 game and give the fans a laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 For whatever reason I've got a good feeling about this game, we're winning 2-1 with Tony Watt scoring the winner. Looks like VAR will not be in operation for the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamMFC Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 With County and Hearts getting put out I hope we can get a win even though as I've said above the team doesn't fill me with confidence. The chance for a run into the latter stages of the cup would lift spirits amongst the fans. It feels far too long ago that we went on a proper cup run so I retract my previous comment and now we'll win 2-1 with the returning prodigal son getting the winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Couldn't even guess at the lineup. McInnes been ringing the changes as the games come thick and fast. One person who definitely won't start IMO is Kennedy. Ran himself into the ground on Thurs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzo Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Expecting to see Marley and/or Cameron starting. Probably Fraser Murray, Watson and GMS too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Not a lot to dislike there. Only fair to give O'Hara a game. Murray and GMS well deserving of their start, and Kennedy in particular would be too knackered to have played anyway after his efforts. Great to see Watson start. Should start every game. Hopefully help get Watkins a bit more fitness, and keeps Anderson involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 No issue with changing the team, so not complaining, but GMS, Watkins, Anderson have all had moments of quality that didn't stick cos none of them are sharp. They look like what they are, guys not at full fitness or match sharpness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 That was pretty uninspiring stuff to absolutely no Motherwell fans surprise. Andy Halliday looks finished at this level and Euan Wilson isn’t an attacking midfielder. The sooner we can get Watt on the park and move Miller deeper the better. Robinson is a bit one paced but has moments of quality and nice footwork, he’ll ever score a goal though. Rant over - sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadasdillinger Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 This may be one of the best games of football I've ever watched. Electric. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Fair play to Killie, defended well with 10 men. From a Motherwell point of view, if there’s one team not to sling a bunch of aimless crosses into the box against its Killie - do something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamMFC Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I've liked what I've seen of Maswanhine since he came on. He's looked like he actually wants to get forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Kettledraw does it again! We looked OK against 10 men. Maswanhine definitely looked useful. Robinson still has zero goal threat, Moses somehow seems to put the ball in the net semi-regularly. And Tony Watt was ok. Didn't really get much in the final third but still moved the ball well. Andy Halliday is shite. That was his worst game this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I’m happy to be proved wrong but I didn’t even think that was a foul, never mind a second yellow. We’d never have beaten Killie if they had kept 11 on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
