  1. Correct sir. Just about to head North, let's hope for the best and give the boys unstinting support for the full 90.
  2. I would start Kerr and Anier and put Faddy and Zaine on the bench, giving some impact subs late in the game. This would also allow us to play in a way that give some defensive solidity whilst offering plenty going forward. We don't need to be gung-ho from the off. We just need to win the match, and I reckon we need to quell their inevitable fast start and quieter their expectant support. If we can do that we'll grow into the contest and confidence will soar. I'd play it cautious until the last 20 then go for it, just as they're running out of ideas and the crowd is getting a bit apprehensive. 1-0 Well with a late Vigurs thunderbolt. Hollis Kerr - Hutchinson - McManus - Hammell Reid Ainsworth - Lasley - Vigurs - Sutton Anier
  3. I like the idea of Superward's team and formation. Even though we beat them 2-0 at Fir Park they had long spells of possession that night and used their extra man in midfield well, albeit without reward. We need to match up but still retain enough attacking verve.
  4. Amazingly, it's been 17 years this very day since the Mighty Well pissed on Rangers 9 in a row party, thanks to an Owen Coyle double. The 200 odd Well fans in attendance must've had the time of their lives, watching thus supposed day of celebration turn flat. It's one game I wish I'd went to. So, what are everyone's memories of that day?
  5. I actually think we'll win this, most likely 2-1. Third place in the bag and putting the fear into the stuttering Sheep!
  6. An excellent result and a real lift after Saturday's crushing disappointment. Looking like 3rd place is the least we'll earn which is fantastic, but 2nd is very much up for grabs. Great to see Vigurs in such good form now, he's really made a difference to our attacking play.

    Inverness

    Gunnar for me, very assured and confident throughout and vital saves at crucial times.
  8. Very much a case of result over performance, although there were a number of positives. Gunnar was tremendous and made a few excellent and crucial saves for us, and generally looked more confident and competent than ever. Despite a slow start it was a great win and we defended well throughout. Going forward we are a real threat. I'd love to see us sign Ainsworth permanently as he's out of contract at Rotherham in the summer. More of the same on Saturday would do me fine.

    Hearts

    Faddy got my vote, great to see him so integral to a Well performance again.
  10. Any win over Hearts is a welcome one, so a resounding ones hugely enjoyable. To pump them 4-1 without ever really getting out of second gear is very pleasing too. After the previous two performances we really needed that, and it was great to Faddy and Vigs run the show so convincingly.
  11. Sub for the super sub, what an honour!
  12. Hollis Reid, Hutchinson, McManus, Hammell Ainsworth, Lawson, Leitch, Vigurs McFadden, Sutton For me Lasley, Anier and Carswell need to be rested to let them recover from injury. Hopefully Lawson is good to go and this would be the perfect game to let Jack Leitch show what he can do. Lee Hollis to return as well. Any win to get things back on track, 2-0 will do me fine.
  13. Anier and Faddy played well together at Firhill, so that partnership is worth considering for Saturday. If Vigurs is fit I'd bring him back in too. Thistle seem to be better away from home but I still think we'll win. 2-0.
  14. If Gunnar is to be our number one for the remainder of this season then we have to support him. Yes he's nowhere near the ability of Ruddy or Randolph but we can do wonders for his confidence by vocally backing him. It can only help his game and might even secure us a few extra points.
  15. My vote went to Carsy who put in a tremendous shift and had to cover 2 positions.
  16. Got to be a place for Robert Maaskant at centre half?!!! Wee winger Paul Shepstone was another of Tommy's dodgy signings, worth considering in my view. Can I also offer Joni Lehtonen for inclusion in midfield?!!
  17. After the Albion Rovers debacle and the pumping from Shellic, none of us expected six wins on the bounce. Great credit is due to McCall and the lads for what they've achieved. It's been a mixture of incisive attacking fitba and gutsy defensive discipline that's earned us those 18 points, four clean sheets too. Well done lads.
  18. The full 90 minutes is on Alba at 5.30 on Saturday, another reason not to give them 24 quid.
  19. If the game gets the go ahead it'd be same again for me, with the obvious exception of Nielsen in for Twardzik. 2-0 to us.
  20. Going off at a tangent, our goals on Wednesday were our first in a New Year fixture for a decade! Back then a Clarky hat trick saw off Dundee United 3-1.
  21. Some excellent displays today from Sutton, Lasley and Vigurs, but my vote went to the unplayable Lionel Ainsworth.
  22. Excellently put, I concur with this 100%. From where we were after the Rovers and Celtic games, the players and management deserve huge credit for turning it round so convincingly. Today was a tremendous display of attacking fitba combined with some solid defence. On another day we'd have scored 7 or 8.
  23. Several excellent performers today, but my vote went to a reinvigorated Faddy. He was on the ball constantly and linked up well. On another day would've had a hat trick.
