What odds on Moult scoring the winner ?? LOL . We need to be far more aggressive  right from the off than we were against Aberdeen. This is a very evenly balanced contest. Too close to call for me. Thankfully no VAR, think it might go to extra time.

No VAR in any of the league cup games?

Hold on while I go looking for my nose!

I just meant everyone is going about crowd attendances etc etc and we are just under 3 hours away from our biggest cup game in 6 years.

Here goes. Moses to start with Maswanhise would be my preference but no doubt will be Robinson lone striker which would be wrong move

Yup, and that's what some people like to discuss mere hours ahead of a big cup game. Go figure.

Maswa would start for me, and patience is running thin with Robinson. I know we don't have many options up top though, so that plays a part.

Much as I love Moses and believe he deserves a start, Im not sure tonight is the place to try it out.

Robinson does a lit of running and occupies defenders in a way I dont think Moses could. But for me, that means we should change our shape.

Obviously notnhappening tonight, so will be happy if Miller is dropped back to his natural position and Vale pushed much closer to Robinson to give him some support. Not fussed whether its Tavares or Maswanhise on the other side. They are an obvious swap after 60 mins either way.

I think there is VAR in ours and another game, but 2 don't have it.

Quite a weird situation in terms of balance.

 

I read it the other way around.

Celtic and Rangers games have it.

Ours and Aberdeens dont.

I know all teams will say the same bit it always feels that any time we get a big crowd and build up we always seem to mess it up, although I know there have been games when we have got big results. 

Here's hoping the lads can put in memorable performance and a man of match Andy Halliday performance 🤪 COYW

Whose wetting their pants? all I said was if we got 3500/4000 it would be a piss poor turn out and I don't retract on that. Thankfully the efforts of many to improve on the norm has paid off. Others are of course free to disagree with my views whether 3500/4000 home support would have been a good attendance.

Robinson does a lot of stuff that doesn't get noticed and doesn't show up in stats.  

I'd like to see Ebiye feature as a starter but we need to find a system and that means experimentation which loads of people on here would probably complain about if it didn't work out like in the Ross County match.

It has nothing to do with the manager our crowds have been in this ball park area for 15 years.

No money in Motherwell. The majority of the population don’t work and are on some form of benefits. The town is so run down and resembles something out of the old Soviet Union. Folk don’t have the money or the inclination to go to FP nowadays.
