Les Cabbage Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Tomorrow night on Sky Sports it’s the clash of the good natured clubs as the irresistible force of Hibernian take on the immovable object of Motherwell. 5:30pm kick off is great because it allows me to hopefully be nice and pished by kick off time. For no reason other than surely we won’t win our first 4 games on the bounce I’m saying a draw which wouldn’t be the end of the world tbf. Stephen O’Donnell likely to go straight in? Will the best 2 forwards in the world continue to cause havoc? Keep scrolling to find out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressball Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Given how rotten Motherwell have been I can’t look past a 3-0 or 3-1 for the Lothian Flying Machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Hard to identify what formation we'll play if motherwell are using the 433. Short wide with the 352, and don't fancy going against Turnbull, Campbell and A N other with only two in the centre Edited August 14, 2020 by Genuine Hibs Fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Steve Robinson's 7-man Motherwell are probably morale cases after being savaged in the press. It doesn't look like their week. I'm going with 3 goals to the good for Jack Ross's invincibles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Stephen O'Donnell to look beautiful as he scores his first Motherwell goal in a shock 2-0 away win. Though, in all seriousness, 3-1 Hibs. 11/4 for Hibs -1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Usually a good match this. Can see it being a score draw. 2-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 What’s up with the slow start for Motherwell? Playing shite or just unlucky in tight games? Cant see it lasting long anyway so no doubt this will be a tough game. Any kind of win will do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see it lasting long anyway so no doubt this will be a tough game. Any kind of win will do. We still look like we're in pre-season tbh. Then again, against County we gave away a daft pen, hit the post, missed a sitter from 6 yards, missed a pen. Then our big summer signing got himself sent off for trying to detach Michael Gardyne's leg at the knee. With apologies to @thisGRAEME as I'm ripping off his Terrace bit - the 15 mins or so Calum Lang was involved against County is absolutely the best we've looked going forward in the 3 games so far. After that both our left back options are out long term, Donnelly needs surgery and our only right back has been absolute humpty. There's been a lot of chopping and changing. With the injuries, suspensions and trying to get everyone some sort of game time we don't look anywhere near close to having a cohesive starting XI. Weirdly Livi was our worst performance of the season and it's the only one we scored in...twice. I'd absolutely take a draw here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing shite or just unlucky in tight games? Cant see it lasting long anyway so no doubt this will be a tough game. Any kind of win will do. All our shit players left which left an imbalance, so some of our better players have become shit just to even it out again. However.... Everyone's playing in the wrong positions anyway so the above doesn't really matter, as evidenced by the fact that we've just signed a Right Back who's infinitely better than our current Right Back (who's actually a midfielder), but we'll be playing him at left back so we don't have to play a Centre Half at left back who wouldn't actually be playing at all if our Centre Mid wasn't injured, as he'd be playing Centre Half. To summarise, there is a good chance we'll line up on Saturday with a midfielder playing Right Back, a Right Back playing Left Back, a back-up Left Back at Centre Half, a Right Mid at Left Mid, a Left Mid at Right Mid, our "main striker" playing deep with a face on him like he's found a shite in his kettle, because he's the kinda guy that if you gave him a bag with a million quid in it, would look annoyed at having to get such a heavy bag home by himself. We'll act like we dont have the best ball-playing Midfielder in the country by ignoring him and smashing the ball over his head towards a Championship level target man who can't work out why we keep launching the ball at his general head area from 80 Yards away, which even if it was remotely accurate (it won't be), it wouldn't matter as his head isn't up there, it's down near the ground as he keeps falling over. We'll then bring on the guy who is actually our best striker, but play him wide, take off our brilliant ball-playing Centre Mid who hasn't been brilliant cos we didn't give him the ball, replace him with a ball-playing Centre Mid who isn't as good, and for some reason only then will we try playing through the middle, and a teenager who was alright, isn't anymore, but isn't that bothered cos he's absolutely fucking loaded. We'll hopefully start with our absolute engine room in the middle of the park, but you can never be sure as he didn't feature at all in the first game of the season as the manager didn't think he looked 100%, even though we hadn't played any games yet. I'm confident. 2-0 Motherwell. Edited August 14, 2020 by Al B 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 We look a really weird team based on the available evidence. In the two competitive 90 minutes I've seen + the Dundee United highlights we've played awfully while creating a pretty good amount of chances without giving too many away, only conceding from genuinely daft mistakes. We're simultaneously not too far off being actually quite brutally effective in the Clarke/McInnes mould and also being easy on the eye but ultimately toothless. As I say, a really weird team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawWatchin Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 An empty fortress is still a fortress non the less. Can't see past a comprehensive 5-0 victory for the Jack Ross express. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
