Motherwell 1 v Hibs 0 FT

So, amongst all the madness. We actually have a match today.

Over on the East coast the weather is lovely, what's it like over on the dark side?

Any early team news? I presume Heff will be back in, and we'll still be without Clancy, Harris, Maybury.

Does McPakes red mean he's out today, or our next league cup game? If it's today, then Forster or McGivern at centre half?

Was gonna travel today, before the last 2 games happened. Now I'm just gonna "enjoy" it on the TV, and save my away trips for a new manager coming in.

Mistake is out today. Heff can play. Forster should be given a game.

I'm on the couch for this too.

I was going(honest) but have woke up quite poorly - so it's the TV for me today :violin:

Motherwell haven't been as freely scoring this season and probably need a boosting win, Step forward Hibernian fc.

against my better judgement i'm nipping over to the game ...mon the cabbage

Be curious what the hibs line up will be and what formation we will play
Anyhows,c'mon the hibs

BT sport?


"Kommen sie bitte und listen to Kraftwerk!"

Think performance wise will be much the same today. Not expecting wholesale changes to the line up either.

1-1 draw says the optimist in me. Pessimist says a 2-0 home win.

I seem to have just lost the drive/love to watch the hibs, so will sit in the warmth and maybe watch it on TV, feel really sad as followed them for 41 years and have endured much worse days than this, maybe its the accumulation of bad days wearing me down. lets see if we can win or play some decent football. Mon the Hibs:I'm waiti

I believe McFadden is back in for them today.

Patrick McPartlin ‏@p_mcpartlin2m
#Hibs team to play #motherwell: Williams; McGivern, Hanlon, Forster, Maybury; Robertson, Craig, Stevenson, Thomson, Taiwo; Heffernan

Stevenson left mid?

Stevenson in midfield ?
There seems to be a lot of midfielders in the team

Craig in behind the Heff??

Stevenson in midfield, rather than right back, by the look of it.

That's how I looked at it.

I pretty much named this starting 11 except taiwo in for OTJ

Interesting team.

Dont think i approve, but if it gets a result I'll be happy

Anyone know the bench??

Stevenson back in midfield, if it's centre mid then him TT and KT in centre is very defensive

With the amount of times that wee Lewis has played at the back, now that he has been moved back into midfield, are we allowed to complain that he is being played out of position??

I wonder if there will be any interesting spectators in the stand today? :hmmm::dunno:

Just caught the tail end of the Taches interview. What did he have to say?

Petrie with some sketchy politician-esque answers in his interview on BT Sports now.

Not completely. Thommo and Taiwo to protect the defence with Robertson, Craig and Stevenson to support the attack.

Im just glad to see the simple change of wee Lewis NOT playing right back.

Was asked direct questions but for me didn't give direct answers.

Just that he appreciated Pats decision to leave and it was done with dignity etc

Ask bout a short list said that it's happened so quick that nothing has been discussed and there will be a meeting of board if directions in due course.

Not much more O that there are have been good things Going in behind the scenes.

Not word perfect but there or there abouts

Actually think Stevenson left wing would be quite good, always gets foward quite a bit from left back and is good at passing in tight areas to feet

If PF was still in charge then you can be sure that Forster wouldn't be playing and Stevenson would still be at right back.

He's made some changes and we should at least give it 90 minutes.............

Vine, Collins, Jones, Handling, Mullen, Zoubir & Murdoch

Good interview with JN there.

Jimmy Nicol on Sportsound just now, passionate guy. Obviously very angry with a few things that have gone on. Didn't think Pat should have gone.

I didn't like petrie's interview. JN sounds like he doesn't do tactics just wants the players to express theirself. I'm sure someone else can word this better.

must stop motherwell crossing the ball into the box if we want something from this game, hope the fullbacks are switched on today.

Neither could say much to be fair. The Tache didn't want to diss Pat. And JN would be daft to give away any change in tactics. :flag:

Looks like a 4-4-1-1, oh and playing Stevenson in proper position

This. Finally.

Need to stick to sutton like glue. They are looking for the high ball and knock down from him.

Unlucky heff.

Should have done better heff

Decent start imo.

We're looking the best team ....... is that ominous?

Lewis all alone in the box almost scores with a flying header!

All cabbage so far, sucker punch awaits.

Good start!

If Stevenson had scored that diving header :greengrin

My word I though Stevenson scored haha.

It was on Wednesday. ;)

Getting men forward and passing the ball, good attacking play.

If only we had Heffernen on Wed

If I wasn't watching the game I'd be convinced this was from one of those joke 'match threads' :greengrin

Get in wee Lewie!

I'm on sky sports and its on racing and it glitches and said maybury takes the through Craig

Watching on TV- seems a tiny crowd and v few Hibs fans. No surprise really?

No he didn't. He was nowhere near it never mind even actually heading the ball.:confused:

Most hibs fans are in the upper section.

Much better balance IMO

Having Maybury available is a major factor.

Well yeah - obviously you're right, but I was trying some positive spin .... :greengrin

The boy aims worth looks a player and is causing all sorts.

Oh well

Sucker punched again.

Shocking defending by McGivern.

Mcgivern found wanting.

Fenlon out!!! :wink:

Typical

Ffs...

Groundhog day.

I've switched the telly over to the Everton Spurs build up...

I've never done that before...Scottish football is so bad

Something has to change

McGivern a yard short there.

McGivern! Jesus

Turns out this thread is quicker than my stream, knew it had gone in before they'd even taken the corner.

Your telly maybe? Back to the hibs game.

Is this the same game as Weds?

Mcgivern dearie me

Ah well, the little resurgence was nice while it lasted.

Let's see just how much the players want thus.

We don't take chances and get punished again.

Why nobody on the post? Surely covering the posts is basic first rule of defending at set pieces.

All the good work undone by lazy lacklustre defending by McGivern.

Liam Craig toiling to get into this.

Given that Sky TV's money propping up English football is one of our biggest problems then what you've just done is part of the problem :wink:

Seem to have lost the midfield a bit since the goal.

Nobody on the posts

Butcher on official invitation list for the game today.............. declined.

McGivern needs a boot up the arse here.

Mcgivern is having a howler.

Given how many midfielders we have on, we are doing poorly in midfield! 2nd to every ball.

Shocking goal to concede.

I always hate how often we give it to McGivern turn he just punts it as far as he can.

Should have put a bet on.

Darren Jackson in the stand - oh to have a player like him in the team.

Disappointed to see such a negative team from Nicholl but suppose the positive is we have good options to change things

I'm sure that's something that the new manager will address. Hopefully.

I thought he'd played quite well and has been involved in most of our attacks. It's a far better position for him than out wide
