Another game we need to win. Not playing against Dundee was a complete pain the arse, let alone a financial hit for the fans. There is a bit of a gap developing between us and the others above us. The volume of games means we’ll need to start using the squad more but intrigued to see how we do that. Their form is pretty poor, albeit they have a lot of draws of late.

1-0 dons, miovski

Pleased the squad got a wee break 2bh Manc.  Fancy us big time for this and fancy us to end the month well.  A solid win here sets us up nicely to take St mirren and then county.  

 

3-0 Miovski, Duk and mcgarry

No wins in 15 for Motherwell so this is definitely one we should be looking to win comfortably especially at home. Not going to bother saying we should switch away from the 5 at the back as we know Robson won’t. Hopefully McKenzie is ready to start as not convinced at all by McGarry. Be interesting to see if Barron is picked again or if the days off will see Shinnie back in. Out again as work ruling out mid week games for the foreseeable.

hopefully finished in time to watch stream.

3-0 Miovski Sokler and McGrath. 

In - Section Y if nothing in Main

Hopefully don't have to go a goal down before we decide to play.No Euro/tired excuses this week

 Dons 4 - Well 1.  Duk X2, Miovski x2

Given the frequency of games of late, feels like an age since we last played. Hoping we see Barron and it wasn’t a case of Robson getting the word from the ref that the Dundee game wasn’t happening 😂

3-1 Duk, Miovski & McGrath

Wouldn’t be surprised if the game was called off with a yellow weather warning in effect.

Think it's supposed to be fine by mid afternoon, but just took a drive to stonehaven and the roads are wild due to the wind. Don't know what it's like further south, but it'll certainly be a rocky trip up from weegieland. 

Burrows tweeting that pitch is fine.

Doesn't seem to be anticipating any issue with game going ahead

Aye biggest issue seems to be travel but it's to calm down from 3pm ish.

Game is on PPV for anyone that didn't know.

Let's go 4-3-3 and go at them tonight.

I could probably go with that, but we all know Robson won't

There's a part of me hopes Barron leaves in January in order to prevent you from continually suggesting playing him alongside Clarkson. In fact, I think you're lineup ideas should be subject to a restraining order.

You could quite easily have thrown those 11 players into a 4-2-3-1 too, albeit with McGrath in an unfamiliar position, but you have to take it too far.

A90 northbound now closed by police, heavy flooding around Forfar, not looking good for them or their fans getting up the road.

It's actually a 4-1-2-2-1 if you want to get really into it.

Paying homage somewhat to Xabi Alonso's 5-2-2-1 / 3-4-3 at Bayer Leverkusen, but tweaked because we don't have Jeremie Frimpong, and because I demand Clarkson, Shinnie and Barron all play together.

Merry Christmas.

Unsurprisingly the match is off.

Because of @Panda's team suggestion? Probably justified.

Motherwell running scared more like.

No Miovski and Barron for the rearranged game as they'll both be playing for Celtic and Rangers (dis)respectively by then. 

Sake,was just about to post(for western travellers),avoid the Aberlour/Huntly road.A96 also dodgy @Huntly.No surprise its off,but probably playable by k/o  🙄

Right decision to call it off but now leaves us with 4 games to fit in between 19th January and 13th April. International break also takes away potential match dates. Wonder if we could get some of clubs to play in the winter break.

We won't need to if they're extending the season for us.

Long range forecast doesnt look too bad.Got to be an option,at least for those with biggest backlog

Well done for picking up the deliberate mistake. Left it there to see if anyone was actually reading it……or I got distracted.
