That's the first time that I've heard any of the team mention a target of European football.

In my opinion, his performances this season should have him in the Scotland squad.

I think the club tend to change targets throughout the season I think they've seen our current league position and form and think Europe is a realistic target (It is). They done it in the Graham Alexander season and had planned the next season's budget based on making Europe which we nearly bottled.

As well as that Aberdeen seem to be going with a Tony Doch + Peter Leven management team to the end of the season so hopefully we can do the business against them in the next 2 games and finish their season off for them providing they don't end up in a relegation scrap.

My team to play them in the league.

Ward

Sparrow Mcghee Welsh Longelo

Preistman Watt

Maswanhise Slattery Just

Bjorgolfsson

Subs : Connely, SOD, Mcginn, Gordon, Halliday, Nicholson, RCC, Said then 1 of Mccolm/Mcallister.

I'd expect some rotation Fadinger is obviously suspended, Mcginn and SOD could probably do with a rest given their age playing 4 games in 10 days might take it of them. Longelo being the only LB at the club is going to put massive strain on him to. Bjorg deserves a start after his role in the equaliser on Wednesday.

He's been a top perfomer, no doubt. His challenge (other than Clarke sticks with his favourites), is that midfield is probably where we have most strength and depth. McGinn, Gannon Doak, McTominay etc, Not to mention Lennon Miller.

Would be great if he made it, though. For him, for the club, and for the transfer fee.

Is it a 25, 26 or 30 man squad for the world cup?

I'd say 18 are guaranteed to go providing they don't get injured

Gunn, Gordon,  Hickey, Hanley, Mckenna, Souttar, Tierney, Robertson, Gilmour, Mctominay, Ferguson, Christie, Mclean, Mcginn, Doak, Adams, Dykes, Shankland

That leaves us with 7, 8 or 12 slots depending on squad size and providing their aren't injuries. I'd be surprised to see Watt make the squad unless they're are lots of injuries in that area.

You only have one right back in there, time for Stephen O'Donnell to force his way back into Clarke's thoughts.

ye the 2nd RB is up for debate. Patterson, Mcrorie, Johnston, Ralston, Donovan will all be trying to get that spot, SOD i'd have in ahead of Ralston and Donovan anyway.

I'd have Willie Watson in before those two.

Match Day !!! I've been going to Motherwell games since 1972 or so, season tickets from 1976 to 2005. 'Irregular attender' since I moved away in 2005, but an avid follower of EVERYTHING Motherwell. Obviously, there have been periods of good (sometimes great) and not so good teams, but I can't think of a period in all that time where i've been so f****n' excited for the next game to come. As soon as the final whistle sounds, i'm thinking......how long till the next one ???

Am currently in Tenerife until April and have just discovered there's an Aberdeen boozer just 5 mins walk from my flat. Hopefully it'll be a very unhappy place later !

A bit worried by MJC's prediction though 🙄

Thor to score ? 
 

Came into my head as well. Get the feeling he is getting more up to speed and settling in to the team.

Only seen him against Kilmarnock and Rangers the other night but even in that small sample I think you can see he adds something different and a physical aspect for opposition defences to think about.

Great post bud, hope you are enjoying Tenerife and I would just love us to be 3-0 up with 5 mins to go in that boozer when you start chanting 'STAND UP AND SING FOR MOTHERWELLLLLLLL' 🤣🤣

Something tells this me that this will be a wild selection and formation today. 
Aberdeen would seem to have a brand new side today as well as they went tonto in the January window.

I’d except a crappy 1-0 win right now on what will be a boggy park.

Was intending to go down there after it. When they won in the cup (was it Raith ?) they were all outside singing the northern lights as I walked past. They got a quick chorus of sheep shagging bastards, before i realised there were about 60 of them 😄 

Still worried about MJC's prediction though 😄

Jens has done the opposite!

Pretty much full strength!

Must be hoping to put it to bed early then rotate those that need minutes.

Fingers crossed!
