Panda Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 Motherwell fan at work labelled this as a relegation six-pointer and hard to argue with him based on the current form and league table. For Neil Warnock, his first week was a bit of a gimme as no-one expected anything from Ibrox, and no matter how badly we played v Bonnyrigg we were probably still going to navigate that tie. Now we're at the point where he's under pressure to deliver results. A draw does nothing for us, a defeat is unthinkable. Expect Gartenmann to start, but will it be for MacDonald or Jensen with the latter injured at the weekend? Not sure any of the 'fringe' players did much on Saturday to warrant a place. Similar starting line-up to Ibrox probably. Can see Hayes being back in. Dunno what to expect. I don't think we played well at Ibrox despite the platitudes, and we definitely didn't v Bonnyrigg.

RicoS321 Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 Aye, this one will be the proper test of his wits, albeit pissing with the cock he's got. Gartenmann has to start if fit. Interestingly, MacDonald was moved into left centre half when Jensen went off, despite probably being poorer with the ball and Gartenmann playing there previously, I wonder if he'll stick with that if Jensen isn't fit. I would expect McGrath to be back in, Clarkson further forward, Barron in (despite being poor) and maybe Hayes in for Duk. That means Polvara, Duk and Morris out, which would be no significant loss. To be honest, the team pretty much picks itself at the moment, with the only uncertainty being whether Doohan keeps his spot. Quote
Elgindon Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 Scottish cup ties against so called minnows are no marker for progress,so this game cd be interesting in terms of attitude or ideas. Wells form has been a bit hot and cold recently,hard to know what to expect,but... In Mainer Prediction - 2 - 1 Don's. Miovski, McGrath Quote

Aye but he's 75 and did a documentary 20 years ago, so it's all a good laugh isn't it? Like Craig Levein. But just wonderfully loveable. 2 Quote

I spent six weeks in a coma and a further year in intensive care, before finally being released into foster care.", you'd look and feel like a right dick. If he says "no, shut your cunting face" then you're also no further forward. It's just a very poor line of questioning. 2 Quote

The satisfaction came from the asking which I found a perfectly reasonable response to such a nonsensical post 2bh (which is why your assumption I would feel like a dick is way off base incidentally). OD has form for those though, I usually just try to scroll by but he specifically replied to me so I thought fuck it. Not even remotely sorry. Quote
OrlandoDon Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Interesting lineup, possibly returning to a back 3? 5 center mids too! Shows the real lack of squad balance that we may have to do that. Will be interesting!! Quote

Oh aye, I counted three maybe four "are you with me" in yesterday's press conference which I watched from start to finish because he's such a wonderful old man. Quote
Panda Posted February 14 Author Report Posted February 14 It could be Mackenzie - Gartenmann - Devlin in a back three, and Shinnie and Morris as wing backs, which would be peculiar but may work on account Motherwell are shite. Quote
tlg1903 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 He's got fucking mcgrath at lwb by the looks of it Quote
manc_don Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Why are we as a back 3 against motherwell? I thought we'd moved on from this pish. Quote

tlg1903 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Can see us taking a doing here, Motherwell looking very comfortable 1 Quote
tlg1903 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 I never once feared getting drawn into the relegation battle under Robson. I genuinely do now. I also can't help but wonder if warnock might manage to get sacked inside the 4 month period. Quote
