RandomGuy. Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Not going. Looks likely I won't be watching either. Not even bothered. Saints definitely winning with that in mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Saintees to win this as long as we're beating DU. If we are getting pumped then a Motherwell win. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Been on and off about going to this one for awhile but there are better ways to spend my Saturday than watching Alexander put top 6 to bed once and for all. A glance at the score at 5pm will do. We’re getting a draw at best here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Good luck to anyone trying to guess our starting 11. Have a punt at the lottery if you do somehow guess it. I’m struggling to remember a time when I’ve been less enthused about a Motherwell team that I’ve been reduced to unhelpful negative sniping.

PSJ.84 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 4 goalless draws in 173 meetings between the sides - only one (April 2018) since Saints regained top-flight status in 2009. Saints unbeaten in last 3 Motherwell trips to Perth. One of those streaks is ending on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Mind the good old days when Motherwell would score first then we'd come roaring back and win 2-1 or 3-1? [emoji16] Not happening this time [emoji45] Callum to play for and be delighted with a 0-0.We haven’t scored first in a game in a long long time. I’m hoping for the ugliest of 1-0 wins with McGinley scoring with an attempted cross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'WellDel Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 With results as they are and very few players getting more than a couple of starts in a row before being bounced back onto the bench, confidence and morale must be on the wane no matter what positive spin they try to put out on the socials. With that in mind, when we're ringing this weeks inevitable changes, why don't we give a couple of the young guys a chance in the middle of the park and try actually playing some positive football for a change?. A bit of hunger and desire to impress would be a welcome change to the passive shite we normally endure. With Mugabi out SOD will obviously come back in, and on the other side McGinley will probably get the nod ahead of Carroll. I'd stick with Lamie too ahead of Ojala, give him time to detach that caravan he looks to have been towing the last couple of weeks. Kelly SOD SOL LAMIE McGINLEY CORNELIUS SLATTERY DONNELLY TIERNEY KVV WOOLERY This 100% won't happen, and we will produce the usual disjointed bollocks and all too predictable outcome. 1-0 home win in an utter eye bleeder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be: Kelly Ojala Johansen Lamie SOD Cornelius Donnelly McGinley Tierney KVV Efford Efford's got 2 in his last 2 so that's something, Cornelius started (and scored) against Saints back in December. I'm 100% on the Tierney bus though (not that I think he'll start). It seemed a bit out the blue that we went 523 on Sunday, it's not a shape we've tried before but IIRC it's a shape that Saints have used in the past. It wouldn't be a massive surprise if we try to match up with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 We used it a lot last season, but it's not been so common for the past few months, where 5-3-2 has been the preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolery has certainly been patchy over the course of the season, but on his last couple of starts he's looked a lot more dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'm away on a stag do this weekend so there is, fortunately, absolutely no chance I will watch any of whatever guff GA plucks out his galaxy sized brain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I'd imagine if O'Hara's fit he'd be in to make it a midfield 3. Generally when he's been fit Alexander's played him. As others have said though, f**k knows what our line-up will be. It's anyone's guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) The starting line I want and the starting line up I think he'll pick are undoubtedly far apart. I can't remember the last time I didn't wince at the twitter feed around 2pm. His mindset will be: Sol and Lamie are shoe-ins, SOD played not bad on Sunday, McGinley or Carroll, he tends to favour the former, but think Carroll is the lesser of two evils here. He loves a stat so Dean will be retained because he scored against them last time out. Donnelly he views as his only real a ball winner. Slattery has been bench warming for long enough now it seems inevitable he has to get a start eventually, so it'll be O'Hara. He reckons KVV on an off day is better than anyone else so will stick, Efford for his scoring record of late, toss up between on form forward for March vs Roberts who played OK on Saturday after coming in raised a few eyebrows. Is Mugabi's suspension carried forward into next years Scottish Cup or does he serve it in the league?

Desp Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The team I'd like for us to put out on Saturday; Kelly SOD Sol Lamie McGinley Cornelius O'Hara Slattery Roberts KvV Woolery The team I expect Alexander to pick on Saturday; Kelly Corrigan Burrows Krivokapic McGinley O'Hara Donnelly Aldo the Kitman Alex Burns KvV Trevor Molloy 1-1. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 We'll revert to a back four and bring in SOD, despite the fact last week we tried a back three with a centre-half at wing-back. Cornelius played well, like he's done in every start, so that means he'll be replaced by Goss. Efford now has 2 goals in 2 and Roberts looked decent enough on Sunday, so as punishment one if not both will get dropped for Woolery and/or Shields. (FWIW, Woolery starts in my team every week anyway). There will be at least one more wildcard in there. Those are my predictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
