MelvinBragg Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Of course we all want to win and Accies to lose this week, but I'll take a draw on Tuesday if Accies get beaten - that scenario would be enough to ensure our safety. Obviously but let's not assume that they will lose (although having watched them yesterday, I suspect they will). We cannot go into the game thinking a draw will be enough. Are we sound enough defensively to play for a draw anyway? I think we all know the answer to that question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Our home form is nothing short of abysmal and we will need to address that issue if we hope to take all three points. We are also playing a Kilmarnock team who have little to lose (apart from the extra money gained from a better league position). This will be as tense as the Hamilton match and we will need to remain focussed for the full 90+minutes. I’m praying for another narrow 1-0 win with Moult doing the business yet again.

Brazilian Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Ideal result is win for us, Hamilton and ICT. Would mean we are safe and everything depends on the Hamilton v Dundee game Its a scenario that could give us a 9th place finish, arguable if the stress involved waiting 24hours for an unlikely ICT result, given Dundees bounce, would make that ideal, over simply bettering Hamiltons result on Tuesday and being safe in 10th. Not sure if this has been mentioned already but it is possible that we can be safe on Tuesday even if Accies win. No it isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxywell Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 We can be safe on Wed even if Hamilton win,if Dundee lose at home to ICT on wed and we've beat Killie on tues then the Hamilton result doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanMFC Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Apparently the same curcumstances regarding going on the pitch will be there just like last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Are we still seeing out the suspended sentence? Even if not we have to be careful as any indiscretion will be severely punished. It does seem as though other pitch invasions don't even get discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Anyone not using their companion ticket? Work schedule changed so I'm at home now. Eternally grateful to the supplier, there's a pie in it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Superwell Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I believe we are unbeaten against Killie this season with 2 wins and a draw so that might be a good omen for us going into Tuesday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Aside from the relegation battle it'll be Lasley and Skippy's last game at Fir Park and more than likely Moult as well. Hopefully they go out on a high and can get a proper send off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxywell Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Would expect a bigger than normal home crowd but i reckon we'll be doing well to get 5000 home fans and killie won't bring many with f all to play for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Many of the friends will be people who would have paid in anyway, but hopefully the initiative brings in a few extra. We've beaten them twice, and they don't have much to play for, but I doubt that makes a huge difference the second the whistle blows as far as Killie's effort goes, but If we can nick the first goal I think we'll do what we need to do to hold on.

grumpy Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Killie safe so hopefully got beach towels out in holiday mode could work both ways, Killie playing with gay abandon? Or alternatively, Killie come and try and play football allowing us to hit on the counter, which could suit our style more than the games against Dundee and Ross County who just sat in and tried to frustrate us into submission (successfully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 After watching the highlights of Kellie v ICT, surely we must win, ICT goalkeeper gave them a goal of a start and how the Killie player (sorry cannot remember his name) only got a booking for a horrendous tackle only the referee can answer that one.

Burn_Broomfield Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Win this and we're all but safe. That's all the motivation that should be required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 - More important to get 3 points than to play well. - Motherwell grind out a priceless 3 points with only 8 fully fit players, 4 of whom have to play out of position. - Flood of complaints on here complaining how bad we were. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 If we win and still not safe it means accies must have won as well and if that is the case ICT are down so nothing to play for last game so just need to look after ourselves by winning and see what happens elsewhere .

weeyin Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 If we win on Tuesday, we also go above Dundee pulling them right back into the mix and, hopefully, adding more pressure to them before they play on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo87 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 No matter what Killie can clinch 7th on Saturday by beating County so hopefully the focus is on that for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star sail Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I don't think we can come to any conclusions regarding the position of other teams. In the play-off season we thumped St Mirren at Fir Park when St Mirren still had a chance to stay up and they then beat us a matter of a few weeks later when they were already relegated and the game was hugely important for us. If we are to believe that pressure is often the cause of some of the poor football and decision making that we witness then Killie should be on form tomorrow night.

FirParkCornerExile Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 it could go either way Kilmarnock are honking but we are off the scale honking... a dreadful game that will be decided by who slips up first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
