Well, look how much difference a single game can make.
Its a 3pm Saturday Kick off at the Toni Macarini Arena.
Motherwell on an 11 game winless treat and floating down to the bottom 6 pick up a strong win against rivals St Mirren and are then propelled from 8th to 5th.
On the inverse, Livingston very unlucky not to get anything against resurgent St Johnstone. How that penalty was never given I will never understand.
This leave this game as effectively a do or die match. If either team wins, then they are most likely guaranteed top 6. Anything else will put it out of their hands.
From a Motherwell prospective, there were a lot of takeaways on Saturday. Defensively we were poor with both goals Conceded being the result of 2 players hitting the ball of each other. But atleastrd I can say that after a win instead of a game where we dropped points due to it.
I would ideally start woolery instead of Efford, mainly to give some options on the wing. Keeping Shields and Van Veen upfront and then put tiernay on later in the match was effective last Saturday as well.
Not familiar with the Livingston squad so I wont be able to say how they will set up.
What I hope for is a win for Motherwell. No matter how terrible or eye clawing the display is. Get the job done so we can focus on the next goals. We don't want to be in the bottom 6 after the season we've had.
I'm going to the game so if any Livingston fans could advise on parking? Not sure if there is any allocated areas to park for away fans?
