When we lose the ball, none of these 3 is capable of providing any cover to the defence. Maybe consider scrapping the 3 centre-backs + 2 wing-backs set-up and move to a back 4 and move Butcher forward as the defensive midfield cover in front of them.            Kelly Spencer, Casey, Blaney, Gent           Butcher     Slattery, Spittal, Paton         Bair, Biereth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Hearts are one of those teams that we always match up well against, especially at Fir Park. That's why I think we could get a win here. If we decide to play the way we played against Aberdeen, however, then all bets are off. I get the feeling Mika is going to enjoy his first taste of the Jambo experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could actually slide in and out of both formations during the course of the game depending on the situation. The other option is to just go with Mika up top on his own and put Davor in, but I dont like that so much as we have no real idea how good he would be in there or otherwise. Think we need to stick with tried and tested right now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of our play is frankly in the main awful. Especially defensively we have gift goals in nearly every one of our defenders and goal keeper. Our set pieces are abysmal. I have a feeling the best we will get is a draw again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alterntive to Hearts being bad is for us to play better, like when we beat them at Tynecastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Hearts have been playing 5 across midfield and have better midfielders than us any way so I think they will out compete us in the middle of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about our standard of play at the start of the season including our game at Tynecastle where we got a clean sheet with 10 men? Just as our performances have deteriorated in recent weeks, if SK get his tactics and team selection correct, it could improve......  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any signs of discontent transfers onto the pitch and plays right into Hearts Hands......SIWY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretzel Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 That wee fud ref Colin Steven is the fourth official on Saturday, I wouldn't have expected to see his ugly mug so soon. I actually feel confident we can get a couple of goals against Hearts, I just hope we stop gift wrapping them at the other end. It would be most welcome to go into the international break with the three points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 I wonder if Kettlewell’s position is actually in jeopardy if we lose here. You’d have to think it is although you never know. We’ve had some great performances but some absolutely brutal ones of late.  Hopefully we get a win tomorrow, but if not, I wonder if the axe is hovering just now.

SteelmaninOZ Posted November 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Interesting to see if our fans turn up as I hear their is another big name on at the same time ALBA’s Alex Samond will be in Motherwell at same time. 🙄 Ok I’ll leave the jokes to Grizzly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
