Ya Bezzer! Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 You've also omitted Partick Thistle, safe to say with them facing the top 3 and us in their remaining fixtures picking up 3 points will be good going before facing us. That puts them on 34. While we're on 22 I think even a conservative estimate of 5 points from the next 3 games isn't too much from us. Then we play them and most Motherwell fans would expect a win. 4 points difference with 5 to play is nothing including another 6 pointer is nothing. We need to forget about Partick Thistle. They have the points in the bag. They have 10 points on us and probably only need another 6 to be confident of being safe. They might have the top three coming up but we very nearly took three points at Pittodrie and two of our rare wins have been against Inverness and Dundee Utd. In fact Partick only lost 1-0 to Aberdeen last time and have beaten Inverness twice this season. It means nothing. I've said it before but Partick can lose 7 out of 9 and still be safe. If they got 3 points before the split they are home and hosed. Our trip to Firhill is going to be a very tricky one but even if we win it it's hard to see Partick going into complete melt down and not picking up the points required else where. They aren't even in bad form at the moment and they have beaten St. Johnstone and Dundee Utd in the last couple of weeks and have managed to pull results out of the bag when needed, a 4-0 win against Inverness, a 5-0 win against Hamilton. What we need to do is match or better Ross County, beat them at Fir Park and at the very worst we go into the last match with everything to play for and at best, might even be safe if Ross County drop points else where. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I guess we'll see who's more prophetic in 3 weeks time. I'll promise not to say "I told you so" if you do also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punk_in_drublic Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 For me this is a must win game. Not just for points on the board, but for momentum, the confidence, to maintain a statement to the other teams that we are (hopefully) re-surging.

Mitch Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 My arse is like a rabbits nose ahead of this match. Very cliche but every match is going to be like a cup final. 3 points would be a great step in the right direction and put pressure on St Mirren and County ahead of their matches on Saturday! Game kicks off at 1:15am here and looking forward to sitting up with a few beers and watching it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work UK hours so generally hit the office around 1pm (7:30am) and leave around 9:30pm (4:00pm). The only downfall of working out here is the backshift.

Ya Bezzer! Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 This has been one of the worst season I can remember to follow Motherwell but I'll tell you something, I am right up for this game. I actually have a job interview on Friday as well, so it's potentially a very good or very bad day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I am fair looking forward to friday, I think Friday night fitba in instances like this could be great! I am working all day Saturday for example and would have missed this. A local game, the teams are just across the water. I know it's not for everyone but I think it could be ideal. Free on a Sat too (if yer not working like me), family/mates time eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they can have Aberdeen vs Motherwell on a Friday night is beyond believe. Keep it local as much as you can. Anyway, hoping for a win... couldnt care less about the result, or how we win.

Aye, I'd make a 20 minute round trip from motherwell to Hamilton or vice versa on a Friday night, even if the game was on TV. The 6 hour round trip to Pittodrie, time off work etc for a game I can watch in my house or a pub is not a very easy sell! Only a real diehard or someone who happens to live or work in Aberdeen are going to that. This was how Friday night football was meant to be, minus the TV cameras.

FJ-94 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 @CraigReid_2: Good to get the boots back on today ⚽️ #gettingthere Craig Reid possibly available for selection , don't think he'll be starting anyway think it'll be the same team that played against Aberdeen. Would , however, prefer Ramsden to straker at left back. Think we'll win this 2-0 Erwin and Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Also noted in the managers press conference that Paul Lawson and Zaine Francis Angol have both returned to training, the only good thing is it seems the injury list is going down which can only be a good thing at this stage of the season.

Inthebasement Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Maybe just wishful thinking, but I thought the failure to mention hammy may signal his return this week. What a boost that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Lawson and ZFA can stay out as far as im concerned. That's no gain them 2 back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
