Motherwell v Aberdeen 15/02/2025

Fortress Fir Park awaits for the visit of Aberdeen. 
Looking forward to this one. No matter what MJC says.

Someone is due an utter scudding from us.   Can see it being the Dandies

[numpty]

We’re not really a scudding sort of team under JBA, and that’s fine by me. (But doesn’t 4-0 the other week count as a scudding anyway?)

I am hoping MJC predicts 0-3,  no positive vibes please 🤣

If we have to win one, I choose the other one.

I'd prefer both, so let's get things rolling with a victory here.

[joewarkfanclub]

We are beating this lot.

Be nice to humiliate them before the cup tie just to make sure they dont feel like they have an actual chance in the cup......

[MJC]

Win this one

then lose the Cup tie

Thats how I see it going anyway.

2-1 home win

Anyone know how long Fadinger will be suspended for? I think/hope it’s the next 2 league games and that he can play at Pittodrie midweek.

Sunday might be tougher if Watt is out as well as Fadinger. Preistman is obviously a very good replacement but who else plays in there? Assume Nicholson, Sparrow or McGhee, unless he brings in Thor and drops Slattery or Just deeper. Whatever we do Faddy will be a big miss. 

[weeyin]

I don't think he'll be needed, but SOD can play midfield in an emergency.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Possibly freshen it up a bit .   Thor for Fadinger and maybe Nicholson for Said.  I would start Priestman ahead of Watt.  At the back probably keep the same or bring Gordon in for McGinn so he has fitness ahead of cup tie seeing as Welsh cup tied due to those clowns playing him

Im looking forward to Matty Connolly starting and Ward playing centre half! 😆😆😆

I am first to put hand up and confess my opinion of Ward totally changed. Earlier in season I just felt he was unreliable and error prone but now his distribution is excellent and also his shot stopping,   pulled off vital save at 0-1 last night

Thats my understanding. Presumsbly, Watt was just bring managed last night and is fit.

[johnstone]

I imagine there will be be some changes. A lot of games coming up. 
 

Aberdeen are a bit of an unknown as they have signed lots of players, but I think they got battered of Killie 3-0 in their last game and they still don’t have a manager…

[joewarkfanclub]

I would imagine Watt and Priestman will start on Sunday.

Fadinger back in for the cup game.

Its great having a strong squad that allows rotation when required.

We also have the majority of our injured players ready and available for the run in.

Heady times!
