LiviLion Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Would be good to get a win here to put an end to our winless run and also start to improve our away form. Want to see more of Tiffoney, impressed me when he came on against the **** and sounded like he done well against St Johnstone as well. Injury-wise I'd imagine we'll still be missing Miller and Robinson considering we haven't heard much about them, Menga still looked like he was struggling on Sunday, and I'm not sure if De Vita will be deemed fit enough although scoring again for the reserves last night might see him take a place on the bench. At least we'll have Hardie back again, main question is who plays alongside him; Menga, Erskine, or Tiffoney (all of them being wingers ).

Mpire Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Concerned about this one tbh. Been poor on the road and Motherwell turning it around. Great to have Hardie back though who can pop up from no where with a goal. Don't think Tiffoney and Hardie can play together though (especially v Motherwell) as bother are pretty skinny/will get bashed about easily.

well fan for life Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The game at the end of last year would have got football stopped. I'm having Motherwell to win 2-0. Turnbull to ball out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Unless something pretty wild happens between now and the close of the window and we see outgoings and incomings (and there have been few, if any, rumours along those lines) I'd be surprised if we didn't start with the same line-up tbh. Gillespie Grimshaw Aldred Dunne Tait Campbell Gorrin Turnbull Hastie Main Ariyibi Subs: McCormack, Ferguson, Johnson, McHugh, Frear, Hartley, Bigirimana Robinson's been talking about building consistency, he's not going to get that by chopping and changing after decent results. In fairness, once he got the 352 working early on last season he largely stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Can't really argue with Capt Oats' team, though I think we might see Rossiter come in for Gorrin... 5-0 Motherwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Real tough one this, form we are in and with our away form a home win will be the favourite result here. We are good when we have our backs against the wall though and really should’ve won the last game at Fir Park. Id also start with Hardie and Tiffoney, we need some trickery, something a bit different to what has now become a very predictable tactic that teams have now got the better of, Tiffoney will give us a good bit of pace and Hardie is clever, he will find him with a pass given the chance, I don’t think Menga is fit and tbh I’m not his biggest fan anyway, frustrates the life out of me. I’d take a draw in this one just to stop the losing run we are on but a win isn’t out the question. Are Livi fans in the main stand again or the one behind the goals for this ?

Antiochas III Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Barring further injuries, I think the only question we have is who will be our two wingers from the three of Hastie, Frear and Ariyibi. Better game that the one in December please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 1-0 Motherwell as the claret & amber juggernaut continues it's march towards the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 We've turned that many corners this season only to turn another one and find ourselves back to square one, usually with a 0-1 home defeat in an utter shiftest. This time hopefully we can keep the momentum going with a win and close in on Livingston in the league. The two League meetings with them this season have been absolutely awful as we tried to go toe-to-toe with them in a hoofball battle and been second best both times so hopefully we've learned our lessons and try and play some football. Not confident, going by the season has gone for us so far so a repeat of the earlier 1-1 game at Fir Park could be on the cards here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menga Bus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Feel like we’ve struggled to get the ball down and play around the final 3rd recently, sibbald was great against st Johnstone and I thought it was pretty harsh to drop him on Sunday but the game was perhaps more suited to keaghan. Would love to see us try sibbald in behind tiffoney and hardie for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I shall predict either 1-1 or 2-1 to the Mighty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Can see Hakeem maybe starting this one on the right...only natural RWB we have now. I also reckon Erskine would be a better starting point against Motherwell's physical backline.
