I wonder if the home gate could touch 7k on Saturday. Aside from all the warranted euphoria around the performance against Celtic, it was so refreshing walking up to Fir Park and not feeling outnumbered by that lot.

I can't see our home support actually hitting 7000 not even this season but anything North of 6000 is still good going.

I think he only did a job on us because of that first goal they got (which they shouldn;t have because the free kick that led to it wasn't a free kick and was also taken from the wrong place). After their opener, we had to chase and that gave him the chance to do stuff he couldn't have done if it was still 0-0 and we had to leave ourselves a bit more exposed in search of the equaliser, which kinda made it easy for them. I think people give too much credit for their 'tactics' in that game. Their tactics are just what they normally are, batter the ball up at two big guys and hope it sticks or you win a second ball. If the dubious opener hadn't been allowed, his tactics would never have been discussed. Cunts ! I will never give them credit for anything ! 

100% correct. Robbos such a master tactician if we win on Saturday they are 18 points behind us.

Wednesdays attendance was 11435, 4500 away fans, hospitality hoching with them but I’d reckon 6000+ Well fans.

St Mirren fans will come to the game too.......

Maswanhise on the Motherwell poster for the game v st Mirren. Does this mean he’s back and ready to go?

what a bonus that’d be

[texanwellfan]

He should be back. Just not sure how the travel will have affected him.

The boss was talking him up earlier in the week and expected him to be available "unless the plane gets lost". Also gave a shout out to the goal he scored.

Of course, he could be playing his 3D chess and not planning to involve him, but in theory at least he should be in the mix.

I think it’s under 4hrs the flight time to UK from Marakesh. I’m sure I came back from Tenerife one year and played 5s that night. My standard hadn’t dropped at all after a 5hr flight.
I was still sh1te!!

[texanwellfan]

I was forgetting that it’s not really a long travel time.  I think I had travel time to here in my head. So should be fine and raring to go for st Mirren game

They often open more sections as the initial ones sell out, try again tomorrow or later.

This is going to be a difficult game as Robbo will set them up to be difficult to play against.  He done a job on us for the semi final so we will hopefully get revenge

Robbie will have his hammer throwers booting fcuk out of Just

[MJC]

This will be a tough one.

2-2

The equivalent of going to Tenerife for a fortnight, without the drunken escapade...he should be absolutely fine

This one is too close to call. The first goal will be crucial as Saints will defend deeply and rely on breakaways or set pieces. We and JBA know how they will play. If we defend well the worst we will get is a draw but getting a goal won't be easy. I'll take any kind of goal.

Maswanhise off the bench if the game opens up is a great weapon to have and lets him have a bit more recovery time after his travels from AFCON

I get what you're saying, but he's only four hours and one time zone away. Also, he only played one full game over there
