Tekel Towers » Motherwell v Dundee Utd 3/2/21

bowers · 02/2/2021 12:26 pm

Huge game tomorrows evening through at Motherwell. We won there earlier in the season and we really need to pick up all 3 points in this one tomorrow.
How do we set up? Certainly be 5 at the back but who do we go with in our line up?

Sporle comes in for me also Edwards and Neilson at the back.
Fuchs Butcher in the middle again.i think he may drop Clark tomorrow.

I'd agree with your changes. Mochrie in for Clark for me, been calling for him since last season. Clark had a good start to the season but has come off the boil a wee bit.

If Mellon desperately wants to fire a warning shot to the team I'd even drop Shankland and start Clark and McNulty up top. Sometimes making it clear that no one is safe from being dropped helps make a managers point.

Just a suggestion.

Would love to see Mochrie in the team but he wasnt even a subby last weekend so unlikely he'll be chucked in.
I actually think he'll go with the same 11 as Saturday.

SuperMario · 02/2/2021 12:59 pm

Benji
Smith neilson edwards Connolly sporle
Butcher fuchs
Mochrie
Clark shankland

Get Reynolds and Robson out of the team absolutely woeful, neilson has to play only centre back at the club who can find a pass, mochrie give the lad a few games the rest are pish in number 10

Boy who is normally ITK on Eastfootball saying training has been suspended so might not be a match.

Snacks94 · 02/2/2021 1:28 pm

Is there a danger that this game (and Saturday) may be off due to the weather? Snow forecast most of the week

FFS, we are fucked if this is true

Suspended for United or everyone?

United

See how that develops then. Looking at weather in Motherwell and Dingwall this week there is a chance both matches would be under threat anyway.

I'm sure the rule is 14. So if we have 14 fit players then we have to play?

If we’ve followed the correct protocols we should have enough available to play the games, as long as there’s only 1 positive case. But no details yet, just a rumour at the moment.

LarsErikKjell · 02/2/2021 2:16 pm

Will give the Twitter keyboard warriors another stick to beat the club with if its true. So that's good.

Beardy23 · 02/2/2021 2:19 pm

"What the fuck is the point in training?"

Tek · 02/2/2021 3:07 pm

That's really heavy snow started through here.

Think the game will be OFF tomorrow.

If there is any truth in this i imagine the latest round of testing for us would have been done yesterday with the results in today?
Hopefully it is either false or if true limited to 1 or 2.

Mellon’s interview on the BBC looks like it was done in his living room so might be some truth in it. Couldn’t tell you if it’s the same place where he normally does interviews though.

Apparently rumours of covid issues.

Mellon doesn't rate Mochrie, he will end up at Hearts.

Well how can we possibly know? So no I dont think so. He's 17. A manager doesnt just decide they 'dont rate' a player when they are 17 years old. Especially one as talented as Mochrie.
