I don’t see next week being any different I’m afraid. 1-1 (3-5 penalties) No team has dominated us this season, absolutely no one. Even the Stephen Robinson masterclass in the Cup was absolute bollocks. We just didn't show up in that one. As bad as we were had we not lost the 3rd goal when we did, we had momentum at that point, we shot ourselves in the foot with the 3rd goal gifting the game to a bog standard St Mirren team. We've only lost 3 games, in which we beat ourselves rather than the opposition turning us over. The kind of stats Motherwell have delivered this season I have never seen before in any of my 50 years watching us in the top flight so if we lose to Ross County it will be an enormous shock. I expect a hard game but we should be too good for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a better than normal chance this year with the team we have and a favourable draw we could do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team is a danger in the Cup but the point remains we should have too much for Ross County with the quality we have and the style we employ. Sure fluke results can happen but I'll be genuinely surprised if Ross County turn us over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I just don’t trust Motherwell when it comes to Cup ties. We’ve seen it all too often over the years when we’ve had good teams we’ve blown it in the cup against sides we were well capable of beating. The St.Mirren Semi Final this season being prime example. As you said, we just didn’t turn up. I wouldn’t put it past us to not turn up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 10 minutes ago Report Share Posted 10 minutes ago It'll be a tough game. County as per usual will take no prisoners with the likes of our old and dear friend Lacovitti turning out for them. They'll sit in and will be difficult to break down. With our injury list, I'm taking nothing for granted. As MJC, points out, our cup record isn't great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
