Well, Well, Well: Motherwell preview

I’m sick, and though this blog is never terribly in depth, I will likely be less so today. But I’ll tell you what I’m not sick of – the three-game (four in all comps) undefeated streak of our Caley Thistle. Especially our one-game home winning streak. Anything counts as a streak when you’ve had a year this poor.

Motherwell comes a-calling on Saturday, sitting a point above the Hibs side we beat last week in sixth place. With 50% more points than us (33-22) in the league, and considering that one blip doesn’t break the pattern of awful Caley play at home, they have to come in confident. Coming off a 1-1 draw with Celtic can’t hurt either, although we’ve managed that draw recently as well. I mean, also.

This match will also mark the addition to Motherwell’s squad of on-loan Cillian Sheridan, who has impressed this season at Celtic. Considering their dearth of goals, I’m not sure why the Hoops are dealing away a goal scorer, but its not the first question I’d have for old Ginger Baws. But that’s a separate point.

My prediction – a solid 1-1 draw, equaling the result that Celtic managed. Combine that with a Falkirk loss to Hibs, and you have a tie on points at the bottom. Come on you Hibees: Forget last week. Do us a favor and maybe we’ll do you one, beating the Well and letting you back into the top half. Sound fair?
