We can bring 5 subs on so if everyone runs themselves into the ground for an hour we can bring on fresh legs. Yes it's a long shot but you never know.....a bit like me being support act for Peter Kay on his new tour!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I think we need to go 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 in this one, but not sure we can do that unless McGinn is fit. Pack the defence/midfield. Agree with Cornelius as the extra body in midfield. Not sure if Moult would be fit enough to give us 45/60 minutes but if he is it definitely makes more sense to have him on when we are still in the game. We can change him out for Sheilds as and when he is done. If he cant give us that much and we have to make do with another cameo off the bench, then Id play Sheilds through the middle with KVV to chase knock ons and make Celtic sit deeper. Unfortunately I dont se Hammy doing any of that and we will probably match up 4-3-3 again. If so, it could be a long night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your way of thinking,Louie and KVV up top, mckinstry/Tierney in behind t stop the easy out ball with the option of getting up to support front men.SOD Goss, Slattery penney across the middle and any 3 from the 4 we may have available at the back,or sacrifice mckinstry/Tierney for deano to sit in front of centre halfs I may favour McGuire if we were to play that system,I just get the feeling it'll be totally different shape from what I've suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Sorry , but doesn’t matter what we do they are a class team, sticks in my throat ,we will be luck to get away with 4-0 again. Still going to turn up n keep my fingers crossed tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 We need runners in midfield, Slattery and Goss I do like but you don't get a lot of tracking back. I would definitely bring Deano in as he will give you that energy we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Livingston 2-0 up against Aberdeen early doors tonight. These are the sides that you would expect/hope us to be competing against in the league and if that stays the same then Livi are six points ahead of us. We need to start picking up points and although tomorrow night is almost certainly a write off you look to the St.Johnstone game at the weekend as a game where we really need to get something if we are to avoid getting cut off in the relegation zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny71 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Moult and Van veen up front and launch long balls up to them bypassing our already invisible midfield,after Moult gets his hatrick by the 60th minute sub him for a defender and see the game out .

gaz7 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Cornelius is certainly improving in the eyes of most on here by not playing . I thought hammell would obviously know him well and play him more but he obviously thinks others are better going by the minutes he's been on park. I think tomorrow he will stick with same formation i. 4231/433 and if he does then I'd have Kelly Mcginn/SOD sol lamie penny Slattery goss Cornelius kvv spittal Moult Not a lot of pace but we need to track their full backs as well as provide support for our fullbacks and Dean and Blair will provide that better than our other forward players I feel. Kvv and moult were swapping times at going back to defend on Sunday as well as being our main goal threats so I hope it can work. Spittal gets a bit of stick but he's had 2 goals and 3 assists in 13 games which isn't too bad I feel. Hoping for the best but fearing the worst as ever with these fkrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Regardless what happens tomorrow it could be worse....Hibs and Aberdeen got much bigger budgets than us and look at their results. Also maybe it's his voice that put folk off but you can't argue with the job Martindale is doing at Livi, pure quality big chap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Slattery and Spittal are the two biggest disappointments for me this season. If O'Donnell comes in for McGinn we are going to be in a bit of bother. I mean that's probably the case anyway but I mean even more so.

He'd also provide VV with better support than he's been used to. Tierney might be talented but, at the moment flatters to deceive and is a bit lightweight. He's also been playing too deep (instructions?) to be of much help to VV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 There's only 7 points between 3rd and 10th. Not quite as tight as the Championship, but any team that strings together a few decent results is going to make a positive move up the table.

We are 4 points off the play off spot with the worst form in the league, an inexperienced manager and obvious defects as a team. Some teams above us have games in hand. I think it's fair to say if we don't pick up anything in the next two matches we are starting to look a little adrift in the bottom 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must stress I wasn't suggesting him as a future manager, I am very much in the Hammell camp and prepared to give him time.

More of a comment on the relative perspectives of the different supports. We'll get a similar insight into that on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A classic Motherwell bottle job. 6 hours ago, GazzyB said: Getting cut off in the relegation zone? We are 7 points clear of the relegation zone!! As has been said we are only four clear of the playoff spot and in poor form. In a league which is as tight as this you need to pick up points and we haven’t been doing enough of that over the past month. Ross County beating Hibs last night bringing them to within a point of us isn’t great for us either, especially given that we will get nothing tonight.
