Motherwell v Hibernian 25/11/2025

Brilliant result considering at one point I hadnt a clue who was playing where !   Not sure how many people played left back throughout the game Thats one position we need cover in.  Shame Ewan Wilson is kicking his heels on the bench at Raith Rovers surely he would be better back learning how to play the Motherwell way

Wilson will be moving on, its clear he is not rated by JBA, hes got no pace and the fact he is not getting a game at Raith would suggest hes not that highly rated there either

Thanks for that might be a bigger crowd on Saturday 

If hearts bring what's predicted, I'd like to think 9k?

Same as everyone else in being over the moon with last night. Jens going to a 3 at back with in effect a false 9 is what the big teams in Europe do tactically at times not little Motherwell. I seriously mean this when I say I cannot believe some of the football we are playing. David Gray said we didn't do anything different to what he expected but we changed shape and personnel so his management skills are obviously not fit for purpose. Their 3 defenders did not have a clue what to do as our 3 attackers were dropping into midfield etc etc. Hearts now will be wondering what formation we will play on Saturday and Jens has shown that we can play other ways. I'd have cook at cf on Saturday instead of our recognised centre forwards. He is so mobile and with maswahanise at side and just and slattery behind. Fading er and watt and defense of koutroumbis mcginn welsh longelo. Locking forward to it

We had 5100 last night midweek and freezing so if we can get 6000 that's a crowd of nearly 11000

I see the whole Celtic management team were there last night. Surely they must look at their central defence and think it’s criminal to have let go of Welsh. I am a little concerned that they’ll want him back in January even though I think he was meant to be here for the season.

the annoying thing is their fans think he’s hopeless and they will treat him like sh1t if he does go back there. He seems have have gotten a new lease of life at fir park…. We need him to stay.

I must admit when I saw him playing for Celtic,  I didn't think he was that good....been pleasantly surprised with him at fp.

Great news, didn't realise hearts had sold as many as that...looking forward to it.

Celtic and Rangers aren’t playing until Sunday either. I know quite a number of them from both sides who regularly go along to fir park when their “big team” aren’t playing. Might swell the crowd a bit too.

i actually spoke to an old duffer of a Celtic fan last week who said he’d stopped going to Celtic games altogether and goes to all the Motherwell home games now… said it was a better experience as it’s been poisonous at parkhead….. didn’t want to say to him that it’s been poisonous forever at parkhead.

Are we on the brink of a bright new dawn? Probably not but enjoy the ride just now...we will lose a few goals by playing out from back, the fans need to accept that.
