Motherwell v Hibernian 25/11/2025

[SteelmaninOZ]

Under lights on the green green grass at home. Can we get another win?

 I think we will with big crowd for a midweek game 2-1 to the Steelmen.

Big test against one of the form teams in the league.

It would be a statement result if we could beat them and re-inforce the feeling that our league position should be better than it is (albeit still more than adequate).

Might need to refresh a little given we are playing Sat/Tues/Sat so would expect to maybe see Stama, Just and RCC feom the start. Maybe SOD featuring at some point.

Thankfully the squad is in a decent place right now and some rotation is possible without necessarily weakening us.

3-0 win to put us 3rd

Need a strong street wise referee. Does such a thing exist?

Certain Hibs players like a dive in and around opponents box. So we need to be extra careful not to dangle legs or jump in. 

They are also quite direct. 

We have struggled against them home and away. Going to be a hard game.  We need to be clinical and have abit of luck. 

Going to be interesting.

I know I am getting ahead of myself but if we could win our next two games and Jambos lose at Aberdeen today we are just 6 points behind Hearts , we join the title race 😁😉

Him with the painted hair (Boyle) is always a danger.

Can see this one being a draw.

1-1

Looking forward to this one. Will just be nice to have a home game, and on grass too.

A draw wouldn't surprise me, but if we be a little more clinical we might edge a win.

Hibs have a very good record at Fir Park, it could go either way, Hibs are capable of being absolute pish or pretty decent.

I have a feeling this will be a really good game. I’ll be going along to this looking for a win and I’d love to beat Hearts on Saturday as well seeing as their wheels are now coming off the bogey as expected. They were rank rotten today against Aberdeen and they played like a traditional McInnes side.

I am more confident of getting a result against Hearts now than I was before today's game

Traditionally when a club outwith both Glasgow teams are top of the league like a Hearts or Aberdeen,  they usually have a great run followed by a really poor run

A positive result against Hibs of course first is what is required

This is going to be a tough game. Hibees are a good side so we need to be on top of our game

Think I’d start Hendry again to soften them up a bit and then Stama coming on for the last 20/30 mins unless Hendry is having an outstanding game. 
start Just and replace him, when he starts to tire, with Said. 
let’s see what JT turns up amd replace him with RCC if needed. 
Encourage our full backs to get crosses in early for Hendry.
