Motherwell Next Week

[Mrimbetween]

Lets travel in huge numbers This game is massive

I'm going plus 3

[DaveF]

Today was bigger. And the team didn't deliver.

Enjoy it, I hope it works out.

[chrisski33]

Todays game was bigger. Team will just let you down next week, guaranteed

[Cod Boy]

Why bother the players don’t give a fk

[Cat Stanton]

I'm with you. Though not literally, but I'll be there.

[Cat Stanton]

Why bother the players don’t give a fk

That's the spirit!

[Davy Mac]

Travelled there early in the season and guess what, they were pish.

Don't see it changing somehow and wouldn't waste my hard earned money and time to watch another dollop of a uncommitted and lifeless performance.

[Chorley Hibee]

Sideways, sideways, sideways, backwards, sideways, sideways, walk around a bit, lose possession, goal Motherwell.

Wake me up when the season is over.

[Chorley Hibee]

Lets travel in huge numbers This game is massive

Embarrassing that we're even in such a position that this be classed as a massive game.

Folk in charge should hang their heads in shame.

[Cod Boy]

That's the spirit!

I take it you think they do

[Bridge hibs]

That's the spirit!

Has a point, if the players actually gave a **** we wouldnt be in this predicament, big crowds week in and week out only to be served with half hearted pish 😡

[B.H.F.C]

I’ll be there but it won’t be huge numbers and no bloody wonder.

[Davy Mac]

Sideways, sideways, sideways, backwards, sideways, sideways, walk around a bit, lose possession, goal Motherwell.

Wake me up when the season is over.

But we had 72% possession he said, 1 trick pony and he isnt very good at that.

[H18 SFR]

We all know what needs to happen next week to make sure we can move forward as a club.

The very fact NM is talking about turning it around means he knows he’s toast for me.

[B.H.F.C]

If he hadn’t already known, he would have after he (and a few of the players) walked over to applaud the crowd and got the reaction they got.

[Jones28]

They’ll beat us. This team is incapable of winning big games.

[H18 SFR]

If he hadn’t already known, he would have after he (and a few of the players) walked over to applaud the crowd and got the reaction they got.

Not securing top six will mean we can start afresh with NM gone.

Losing 3/4/5 games after the split might stimulate an even bigger clear out.

[Halifaxhibby]

Don’t waste your money
Players don’t care.

[Chorley Hibee]

The dreadful situation where a defeat may be for the best in the long run.

I don't want the inevitable being delayed any further.

[SHODAN]

We've supported the team countless times this season and they've failed to deliver. They can go ahead and motivate themselves for this one.

[Largshibby]

But we had 72% possession he said, 1 trick pony and he isnt very good at that.

It’s a terrible statistic to come out with. Does he not realise that losing a game with 72% possession is abject failure on his part?

This is where I am at. We need him out.

[B.H.F.C]

This is where I am at. We need him out.

Still can’t bring myself to want my team to lose even if I get the thinking.

I’m actually coming round to thinking that even if we were to finish top six and squeeze in to a European place, he might well not be there next year regardless. Think the goalposts have shifted with the investment that it may not be allowed to mask things. Because this season has been dreadful, right from the very first game in Andorra in July.

Can't ever want my team to lose. Will be there next week urging them to win, even if many of them might not in some eyes deserve it. That's because it's our club. Not any temporary custodians of a jersey or blazer.

I also just don't want games against freaking St Johnstone and Ross Co and Livingston again.

[Chorley Hibee]

Modern day football thinking that has reduced the game to a tedious game of chess most weeks.

Managers/Coaches copying Pep because it's the "right way to play", irrespective of the players at their disposal, are killing the game as a spectacle.

I get to watch my English side Chorley a few times a season (National League North) and what a breath of fresh air it is at times.

No one wants us to lose….people are just getting sick of the same old garbage disguised as something different….wages of managers and scouts go up and for punters….quality on the park has been dreadful…


Hopefully foley will empty everyone behind the scenes and management.

[Cardinal G]

My thoughts exactly, renewed for next season but not sure why if this type of football continues to be served up

[Carheenlea]

Last throw at the dice to salvage something from the season.

If bottom 6 was confirmed today then a large chunk of the fanbase would be packing away the scarf till next season, and perfectly understandable that would be too. It’s a game with a lot at stake and a lot depending on things elsewhere.

Can’t say I’m buzzing for it at this stage, but come the weekend will be raring to go. Season not quite over yet, for now..

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Had Hibs done their job today, we would have been in a great position to finish top 6 and kick on for a European spot. Motherwell would have been out of the equation, now we'll be up against a team who know they have a chance of top 6 themselves. I don't trust this crop of players, along with the current management to win such an important game.

I'm sure we'll hear the usual claptrap in the media that the players are hurting and we'll make it up to the fans, blah, blah, blah...yeah, we've heard it all before guys.

[Stairway 2 7]

Can see us and Dundee winning for the bants

[JammyDoidger]

That Motherwell forward bair will ragdoll our clowns at the back.

[Chorley Hibee]

Can see us and Dundee winning for the bants

No, Dundee will lose, and it'll be Motherwell, as we'll lose 3-2 after being 2-0 up with five minutes to go.

Their winner will come from the penalty spot (20 minutes into the 5 added minutes) from a VAR decision nobody else in the ground seen.

Montgomery will say "we can all have bad days" and that "we go again".

Hibs then announce a new retail deal and additional hospitality experience.

[Auckland Hibs]

Bookies have us favorites which is nonsense.

[LewysGot2]

Bookies have us favorites which is nonsense.

What does Opta say?

[The Baldmans Comb]

It's a winnable game and somehow we are still in the mix and say what you want about Montgomery and I think he is a total imposter but a win might save him.

A loss/draw and the loonies really have taken over the asylum with £6m beckoning.

[eastmainsmsh]

If results swing in our favour surely we are only papering over cracks which to be honest have been seen a lot this season the players are to blame imo just as much as coaching staff and Above

[joebakerforever]

Having watched the highlights @ Dundee, how Bair outmuscled their defence, it's being optimistic to expect the aptly named Rocky, Fish, & Triantis will be able cope with him, given how they were unable to handle the robust Subideh today.

Would not be surprised if Bair & Motherwell pump us next Saturday & NM comes out with his usual pathetic excuse of possession statistics, ignoring that most of it is ponderous, backwards, sideways and ineffective.

[DH1875]

Can Motherwell not finish top 6 if they beat us? Top 6 is a load of P anyways. Like finishing 6th is some sort of success FFS.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Yes they can. Thing about top 6 is that 5th place will likely get a European spot and that is well within the grasp of the team who is 6th next weekend. Finish 7th or worse and our season is over.

Yesterday we had a great chance of cementing that top 6 place but the charlatans masculading as Hibs players had other ideas.

[Mcbizz1998]

I presume there are still tickets for the available? Where can I buy one? (I must be mad).

[Hiber-nation]

Just look on the Hibs website. Sorry if that's too obvious!

[Carheenlea]

Tickets are sold via Motherwell. Can be digitally downloaded to your phone.

Remains to be seen - a draw for Dundee on Weds and they can't. A win for Dundee and it doesn't go to the weekend.
Obviously highly likely Rangers will win but stranger things have happened and might be a little flat after the OF derby today.
Best result for us Weds might be a draw - mean we would need the win but would be playing a less motivated Well.

[McGruber]

True, but the shortcomings are still there for all to see.

I don't buy into the sentiment of losing being better or not deserving top 6. You finish were you deserve to finish. If, and a big IF, we make top six it will be deserved and likewise if we don't. It's decided over 33 games not this or last weekend.

Goes without saying that regardless of eventual league finish, the season has been pretty pish

[Bishop Hibee]

I’ve got a prior family engagement otherwise I’d have gone through. Would have been a triumph of hope over common sense. Nothing would surprise me less than Hibs winning but Dundee beating Aberdeen mind.

[1875Sean]

Shades of last season, didn’t we get into the top 6 on the final game of the split

[Forza Fred]

I think we’ll win, and here’s why…….

Monty’s philosophy revolves around playing out from the back, tempting the opposition to challenge them further up the field, thus making room for our forwards.
But in Scotland teams tend to ‘sit in’ and let you come at them, being content to block shots and crosses in the box, thus denying our forwards the space Monty’s tactics need.

However in THIS game, Motherwell are going for the 3 points just as hard as we are and will have to open up…and this will suit us.

Unless he does something daft like play Jair from the start, I’m confident of a win…….but please, please USE the space…..play the ball for Yuan to run on to..instead of to his feet…..and get the ball to Boyle more.

And whatever happens..DON’t use Jair as an impact sub.

Agree with this line of thinking.

Funny that is what i see playing out

[flash]

I don't see Dundee picking up more than a point so a win should be enough.

Our game is going to be full of chances as neither team can defend.

[Hibee Mac]

Dundee will beat Aberdeen I think, will all be a moot point in the end. I'm pretty certain we're finishing bottom six.

Directly from Motherwell. Hibs advertised/emailed out a link for it

[Since452]

I think we've still to win away from home in the league this year. Might be wrong. Motherwell will be buzzing after their win in Dundee. All the momentum is theirs for top six now.

0-2 Hibs :greengrin

Aberdeen away under SDG

Aberdeen away under SDG

Dundee and Livingston too but not this year :greengrin

[Posh Swanny]

Looks like me and the wee man will be able to make this now. Just looked at tickets and there's not many left in the lower tier - do they normally open the upper deck once the bottom is full? Only availability right now is in block 1 - is that next to Motherwell's Block 7 equivalent?

***edit*** lower tier now sold out. Unless block 5 still to go on sale. Good effort Hibees! Assume (hope) more will open up tomorrow.

[hibbyboy1]

Just tried to buy 4 tickets but showing no availability

[jakeshibs]

Don’t waste your money
Players don’t care.

we supporty hibs through thick and thin

[Garymcl]

Our usual group of 4 will be there one of my favourite grounds to visit great support as usual here’s hoping :flag:

[madhibby]

Lower tier of away stand now sold out. I don't yet have a ticket and still hope to get 2 tickets.

I am assuming they will open top tier some time today - I will try later.

Tickets, I am told, are print at home/download QR code so no problems with postal delays.

And will they allow pay at gate on Saturday?

There's tickets available for lower, looks like they've opened up some other sections

[madhibby]

Thanks for that - now selling front two rows all lower tier sections plus furthest left section in lower tier now opened - I hadn't realised that section hadn't been released - maybe the furthest right section - nearest to the Motherwell Ultras hadn't been released as well and that might come later. Got 2 tickets now.

[blackpoolhibs]

It’s a terrible statistic to come out with. Does he not realise that losing a game with 72% possession is abject failure on his part?

These stats are a load of pish, when the opposition let you have the ball in your own half, and you pass it around between keeper full backs and centre halves, who then give it to Newell, who then gives it to the full backs again to then do it all again is skewing these stats greatly.

When we do eventually go over the halfway line and try and create something, thats when the other team decide to take the ball off us and have a go at our flimsy defending.

It's been like that all season.

[Posh Swanny]

The rear of the section near their ultras has already been sold. I suspect that's now the full lower tier opened up.

A lot of Scottish clubs almost make you feel guilty for showing an interest in attending games so much so that they have to open up more areas than they had maybe hoped to.

Can feel like we’re just being a damn nuisance rather than a welcome customer.

[Broken Gnome]

I don't think we were ever selling that bottom tier - comfortably at least - with the Dundee situation. Still a massive game, but lost a bit of it's edge with the knowledge it won't be done and dusted should we win.

[Chorley Hibee]

Upper tier now on sale.
