MJC Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I was sure we would lose this one before they lost at Tannadice last night and now I am absolutely convinced of it. A lot of people getting way, way ahead of themselves about this team when we’re yet to register a league game win and have thrown away the maximum points in our last three games. The omens aren’t good either when you look at how Cup/League double headers against Aberdeen go. We’ve had plenty of them over the years and the trend is usually win one, lose one with the only exception being a 1-1 draw in February 2022 the week after we knocked them out of the Scottish Cup.

Doesn't feel at the moment that we need to take too many risks by rushing players back. Same will apply to McGinn and Hendry (and Slattery in a couple of weeks)... As to how we'll go this Saturday? In this situation with two non Old Firm teams playing each other two weeks in a row, you generally say one team doesn't win both. I'm not so sure. The aforementioned potential return of Just, Hendry and McGinn will keep the players on the pitch from relaxing too much... Did Motherwell not lose to St Johnstone last season in same circumstances ?

Fair comment but I have a feeling that instead of 11 first team players we now have a squad who play, and fight, for each other, don't expect to play every game and respect a manager who may not get every thing right, but he is the Boss.

Yes, for once we showed a bit of consistency ... and lost both games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
