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?

Take it that's Welsh signed then https://x.com/i/status/1962618968365244646

Just checked the official site and see the ticket prices have been announced Adult £25 concessions £18 under 18 £10 under 12 £5 Also running a bus at £25 a seat which seems a bit steep but I don’t know the cost of hiring a bus for a day so maybe it’s not.

Breaking news incase you didn't know....Paul lambert has signed for borussia dortmund 🤣🤣🤣

Let’s hope the medical staff have got thing right this week, one CB apparently failed his medical on Saturday (unknown medical history)and Welsh (said by some on here to be prone to injury) passed his today. If Welsh is on the physio’s bench by Friday I’m going to think they’re at it and just keeping themselves in a job

To be fair, a lot has happened this summer. I forgot about Charles-Cook about two days after we signed him. Someone suggested to me how he might not be fit enough to start vs Killie and I was like "I forgot we signed him"...

Funny you should mention that as I was looking back on soccerbase and saw that too. Exactly 30 years ago. And guess who we were drawn against in the League Cup Quarter Final? Yip, Aberdeen, albeit at home where we lost 2-1 after extra time. That year we finally got our first win at the very end of September at home when we beat Killie 3-0.

He left ages ago

Sun reports Wesh has now signed a season long loan deal. Medical passed.

Thanks.
