  • SteelmaninOZ changed the title to Motherwell v Hearts 25/10/2026

Address the issues and bring in a new defence.  If it doesn't work folk cant criticise as he at least tried something new.   I would try

Paulsen (grudgingly )

Johnny K. JGR  JKL.      LONGELO 

               MCGHEE.  FADINGER

                     LOWRY

KANGA.                             SAID

                   SEB

Reflecting on who I'd start for the game and there I've found a huge issue.  There are so many gaps, this may be due to how we're set up 

From who's currently available I thing I'd only have 4 players who are automatically given a game. 

For Saturday Id be making us a lot more robust.  

For me I don't think Connelly is a better keeper but I do think he can distribute better. 
Mcghee to give the defence more protection. 
I'd wouldn't play with an out an out striker as I don't see Seb offering much In general play. 

I know the following isn't perfect but I'd go with

                 Connelly 

JK   JKL   Moorman  Longelo .
                McGhee 
     Sparrow    Fadinger

    JT        Lowry ,     Said

Hopefully Oscar would get some game time.

Hearts getting battered 4 nil by Celtic and it's not even half time. Maybe hope for us Sunday. 

6-1 now a few mins into the 2nd half. Maybe Hearts defence is as bad as ours. MJC do you want to revise your prediction to 9-7 to them ?

Knowing our luck the Hearts fans will demand a performance and we are the kind of charitable team that will donate them 3 points, don't have a ticket for this game yet and don't know if I can be arsed to try might just watch the game on the box instead, really hoping we can turn the corner but just don't see it yet

1-5 Hearts

McPake will tear Sparrow up for toilet paper and Braga will take full advantage of SOD, Moorman and Paulsen’s inadequacies.

Still yer big team then.

Hearts forum posts are more or less a mirror to here.

Football fans eh? Which club has not had a crisis so far? Maybe we should all call it a day and save our sanity and lower our blood pressure..

 

Buddies and hibees online probably the same

Team!

Connolly
Koutroumbis
Knight Lebel
Moorman
Longelo
McGhee
Hodge
Fadinger
Lowry
Said
Palmer Houlden

A little bit more dig in that team, with further defensive midfield cover, a little bit more height as well. 
I've put Connolly in goals to present the team with a bit more of a Ward like figure, to replicate what we were doing last year.

Hearts actually played quite well in spells during the first half yesterday according to the radio commentary but were undone by comically bad defending and Celtic being utterly ruthless in punishing them. 
 

We’re not Celtic and we have nothing up front to punish them with and if we defend as we have been in our last three or four games then Hearts really couldn’t have asked for a better opponent to bounce back against on Sunday.

Connelly isn't the answer either unfortunately, was a total bomb scare at Aberdeen last season in the Scottish and was hopeless (among others) against Stenny this year. 

For as bad as Paulsen's mistakes have been he's saved us from a few scuddings already and the defence in front of him are all over the place which is why he's being called upon so frequently. Alfred needs to rectify the defence and rectify fast

How many chances does Paulsen get without being benched...I reckon MC should get a chance, if only to make a statement.

You all reckon we are getting gubbed anyway so no issues.

Not sure connelly can take much of the blame for stenhousemuir tbf 

would like to see him given a chance / run in the team personally & if it doesn’t work assess it in January
