Opposition fans assuring us that they are completely hopeless and that Aberdeen will definitely beat them, before we duly turn in a solid 0/10 performance and lose the game comprehensively, is becoming something of a common occurrence on here. Motherwell seem to be especially gifted at this, though.
I am fearing Robson's line up, to be honest. I would probably go with a flat four, with Richardson and Coulson as full-backs. I mean, Richardson isn't very good and Coulson is mercurial, but I wouldn't say we have necessarily improved since we stopped with those two as our regular full-backs. I would probably keep Scales on the bench, and drop Kennedy and Hayes too. I have a feeling, although not really based on anything, that Robson will start Scales, go with three centre-backs, and probably have Kennedy and Hayes as wing-backs.
I quite like Ramadani, but I might even be tempted to bring in Barron for him just to change things up a bit after such a dire run of results and performances. Barron is a bit more of a battler, too, and that is what we will need here. I would probably start Markanday as well. I can't see Robson going for that many changes, though.
