grizzlyg Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Huge support going so the teammates them big time. Last 2 years we have went out to a whimper at raith and morton. No excuses this time , let's do this and for feck sake start Maswanhise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 Lets hope we have no more injuries or viruses this week. I'd imagine that Watt and Maswanhise are stick on to start, barring injuries. I believe that Matty Connelly won't be available for this game as he's cup tied. His replacement on the bench will be interesting. There's no point in playing for a draw so lets give it our best shot and adopt a more aggressive assertive game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - get out at them early . Confidence in their camp must be low and a coming out the traps and getting an early goal would be ideal. we give too many teams too much respect and sit back - now’s the time to seize the day ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 Aparently Jack Vale will be available as his suspension only applies to league games. There is a possibility that Harry Paton & Liam Gordon might be fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance Mr Kettlewell will go for it unless heez forced to, but most likely go for it last 15 as per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the difference is. It would ve a real break for us if he can play..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK will get slaughtered if he sticks to 5-3-2 boot it long to no one, lose possession rinse and repeat.. The fans will accept a defeat if we go down fighting trying to play football and creating chances. I fear the same kinda pish we've watched more often than we should recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 I see the North Stand is filling up. I just hope St Johnstone don't play silly buggers and cordon off a large section on the stand. There's nothing worse than fans being crammed into individual sections, when there's rows of unoccupied seats in the adjacent cordoned off area.

Let's do this Sorry to say this happens every away Scottish Cup tie every year . Great away support , great chance of going through total disappointment, with a inept gutless performance. Letting a large travelling support down. Hope it's better this time and we remember it's a cup tie and play it like one for a change. Cmon ye Well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the end section will defo be cordoned off given the Fair City lot stand in that corner...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I get that Joe. I think there are 3 empty sections left at the East end. Even if they were to cordon off the end one that would be accommodating and courteous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain that would not be the case. In nearly forty years of following Motherwell, I can count on one hand the times fans have walked away from a cup defeat saying, "Well, we lost to a team destined for relegation, but at least we went down fighting! Fair play to the manager and players for that effort!" We all know that even if we do win, there’ll be the usual crowd reluctant to offer any sort of credit to the team or the manager. Instead, it’ll be a discussion of how poor the opposition were, how we should have beaten them anyway, and the usual nitpicking about aspects of our performance. And of course, we can’t forget the classic, “Why don’t we play like that every week?” if we happen to put in a good shift and everything clicks for us.

I think you are confusing the entire Motherwell Support for this place. If we win tomorrow Im pretty sure the entire 1700 Motherwell fans or whatever the number is will go mental and appreciate the players for keeping a dream alive. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we like it or not, this forum is a mirror of our broader fanbase. Forums like this one are a small-scale representation of the wider support in the real world. Admittedly, the more negative voices may be louder here than they are in the stadium, but they still exist in comparable proportions, in my opinion.

Its probably a rough reflection of the wider support but we just don't know. Many older fans might not use the internet much and those who do might not post. Many fans do not post on here for various reasons. I suspect the demographiocs, characteristics and views of P & B patrons might be a little different to those on here. In short, we just can't be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I specifically mentioned forums “like this one” and not just this one in isolation. I genuinely believe that the opinions expressed across both platforms give us a fairly accurate reflection of what our wider fanbase is thinking—particularly now that some of the more obvious trolls have been put on moderation. Of course, we can’t be entirely certain, as there’s no definitive way to prove it. It’s simply my perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
