Ewan said he wanted to go in his interview with Raith , he asked his agent to get him a move from Motherwell and to be fair - I think a lot of our injuries have been down to bad luck. I think this has been a really decent transfer window.

Aye but he is a bit slow and won't ever get any faster.

With our record on injuries? I guess that's Ewan Wilson well and truly out of the picture then.

There's a meet the manager with Jens on Sept 11. Well society have posted the details on twitter

Of course but that's not certain and we can still pick up free agents

If he was to pick up an Injury at any point

Various reasons, player can pick up an injury at any time or an accumulation of cards could see him missing games. I’m not overly concerned that either of those things will happen but they’re is a possibility.

Why would he be?

We have previous for starting with 4 draws, the most by any team in Scottish league history @terrace_podcast 3 teams - Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Rangers - have 4 draws from 4 games to begin this league season. That has only happened another 4 times in the 135-year history of the Scottish top-flight: Third Lanark (1962/63) Motherwell (1975/76) Aberdeen (1988/89) Motherwell (1995/96)

Then SOD plays for several games. It would be great to have a replacement for every starting spot, and have each replacement to be match fit and ready to go, with a performance level equal to the players they are replacing - but that's not always possible for a club our size. it's also quite possible we had more targets that fell through, and we'll just have to make do until the next window. Based on what I saw in the early part of the season, however, SOD at left back would be better than Wilson at this stage.

That's taking a huge and unnecessary risk. What if Longelo is out for several games?

Yeah he’d probably do fine there too. Not to be disrespectful of the position but It is the easiest position on the park imo. Any decent midfielder or defensive minded player could play there and not look that out of place.

While I'm not a fan of full backs playing on their wrong side, SOD has played at left back quite a few times and could no doubt provide cover there too.

I think we are keeping Halliday for the back up left back. He’s played there in the past and might not be the worst option.

Main site finally caught up https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/09/01/stephen-welsh-arrives-on-loan-from-celtic/

I imagine the SPFL would just set the price at normal league game levels.

No left back then? If so, it's weird that we let Ewan Wilson go out on loan.

Don’t think that the prices are that bad for a quarter final

I get that, but what if we'd have been unwilling to budge?

That’s exactly the modern CB we needed. Here’s hoping it works out all round.

Looks like its the last.. https://x.com/MotherwellFC

Caldwell said in his interview last week he was unhappy with the ticket prices, but Aberdeen were unwilling to budge.

Must be about to announce another then Seems to be slow on the official site

Media team seem to give more of a fuck about X than their own site, why can’t the post both at the same time ?

Cant see that on the offical site yet?
