20 nil or will Motherwell get a few as well

**hibiedude** · 20-02-2010 11:43 AM

3 points is a must today and no more excusses from Yogi about picking the wrong team.

Stokes to get on the score sheet and Deeks to get his finger out and start to earn his wages.

Hibs 3-1

**YehButNoBut** · 20-02-2010 12:05 PM

Berbatov has made it Everton 0 Man Utd 1

**Martin** · 20-02-2010 12:06 PM

It's bloody cold in Motherwell and the pitch - well it looks like it's seen better day...

**~~The Voice Of Reason~~** · 20-02-2010 12:07 PM

We have a decent record vs Motherwell.

That said, the hammering at Perth must have affected our confidence. M'Well are playing well at the moment and were unlucky not to beat Rangers. They also have an added advantage as they are used to playing on that excuse for a pitch (as per Walter Smith's comments after they played the Huns).

Bearing all of that in mind, sadly I think M'Well will win the game.

Won't stop me roaring the boys on. I will be delighted to be proved wrong of course

.

**Hibs90** · 20-02-2010 12:07 PM

Hoping we get a win today, would like to see Stack back in goals and a team lined up:

Stack
Spoon Hogg Hanlon Murray
McBride
Miller Rankin
Zouma Stokes Deeek

Hi Martin - I asked a question earlier re why there hasn't been any pre M'Well match Press Call footage on Hibs TV this week (the post was moved to the Hibs TV section).

Are you able to answer my question please mate ?

Id put Bamba in for Hanlon and Thicot in for Rankin as we're gonna need a physical presence as not much footys played on that pitch,spot on with the rest,and hope the ref does'nt notice anything amiss.

Arithmetic's not a strength of yours, M

FWIW, I'm told Hanlon, Deeks, Benji and Zouma won't start!

So, who's up front with Stokes?

**Hibs90** · 20-02-2010 12:14 PM

Dunno what you guys are on about

Info is Gow to start

***Jim44*** · 20-02-2010 12:18 PM

I think it's a big ask to expect them to come out after last Sunday and Wednesday and win away from home. A draw would be a great result but I think Motherwell will be too much for a side low in confidence.

A big ask yes but I'm asking for it......... please

I agree Jim - but Arabs take something at Darkheid then I want 3pts at Fir Park

**SaudiHibby** · 20-02-2010 12:43 PM

After what has been a bad week it's time for the players to stand up and be counted

:notworthy:

***rainman*** · 20-02-2010 12:43 PM

So much tinkering it's beginning to look like trial and error.

FWIW, one of the only games I've seen live this season was up in Aberdeen. I came away thinking we finally had a defence that looked as solid as I had ever seen it. Wotherspoon was beginning to stroll through games like Whittaker had done near the end of his time at Hibs. Bamba was a rock with Mr and Mrs dependable Hogg and Murray giving their heart and soul. We had Maka in goals then and now we have a choice of 3 keepers who are better than him.

I'm happy to see Riordan out the team. A long time coming and wouldn't surprise me if that was the reason GAOWser was brought in.

Zemmama's season has turned out to be a bit of a let down after an electric start and I wish Benji would find some cosistency although it would probably only come with an extended run in the team.

The only other concern is McBride's injury. I'd rather he sat it out and came back 100% rather than rushing him back for him to break down again. We have a Scottish Cup to win this season.

**Hakim Sar** · 20-02-2010 12:44 PM

First time this season we have made ourselves desperate for a win imho. wee bit pressure on guys for first time this season.

Hope it manifests itself in a positive way. I fear worst tho.

2-0 Motherwell :'(

Gowser was very near invisible at Ibrox.

Stokes took a while to settle in after moving up here, he wasn't great in the first couple of months while he was gettting back up to speed. Gow hasn't been quite as deprived of first team football as Stokes was before he signed but he still needs time to settle into the club and the team........give him a chance :agree

Pity we don't have the facility to give these guys 'a chance' to get up to speed in reserve games instead of crucial league fixtures.

Not having a go at Gow just think Riordan seems to like scoring at Fir Park.

I know. First start and all that though.

Riordan's been invisible for months. As far as I'm concerned Gowser fits the bill much better than Galbraith, Rankin, Stevenson, Riordan for the LM position.

Every interview you hear from Yogi, he's talking about the culture at the club, living like a pro 24/7, training like champions, ticking all the boxes. Everything that Riordan is not. He mentioned that Hibs are going places and if the players aren't ticking these boxes, they'll be left behind.

He's also proved that he'll stick by his favourites. Right or wrong, he sticks by them and I think Gowser falls into that category.
