A good travelling support seems to be building.

There is a feeling that something great is being built, but we need to realise that it is very early days and could easily be derailed. We all need to stick by the team when we inevitably hit a bump in the road. Undoubtedly, there is an upward trajectory and it feels great, but it'll be a bit of a rollercoaster as we, hopefully, build something memorable, long-lasting and ultimately successful.

So many great performances tonight. Special mention to Lowry, who really came good and put in tremendous effort. No doubting his commitment and attitude tonight, both were excellent. I realise that Said will take the plaudits for his game changing contributions, but for me Moorman is class. He completely controlled the backline and his passing through the lines is reminiscent of Watt. What a player he could be for us this season. Moorman for me.

That was a European night to remember. The atmosphere was electric. It is great to see Fir Park rocking. No failures on the pitch for Motherwell. Star man for me tonight was Moorman, he was superb in that defence. Lowry looks to be fitting in nicely. Fadinger and Priestman were imperious in the midfield. Said is adding scoring to his game, which is great to see. Olly Whyte looks every bit a first team player. I'm sure that he'll get plenty of game time this season. A great time to be a Well fan. Who's off to Freiburg. See you there. COYW!

There are no doubt a number of floating supporters tonight, I hope that they understand the way that we play nowadays and don't expect a swashbuckling display for 90 mins. I hope that we are all patient and don't start getting on the backs of the players if it isn't going as well as hoped. It is going to be a tough one tonight, but I'm looking forward to it.

I would go further and say that I feel that we were worth a win. We created 4 decent chances and played some great stuff at times (albeit fairly infrequently). The football to get JK away for his chance was top drawer, as was the work to get JT the chance that he lashed over from 6 yards out. Falkirk offered nothing to the game and were happy to foul throughout, knowing early on that the ref was useless. They were happy to break up play and wait for us to run out of gas in the final 20mins. No way did they deserve anything from the match. To comment on Motherwell today, I feel that we were generally slow and ponderous in the build up, and our movement in front of the ball is minimal, so making chances is going to be difficult against any well organised team. We need to improve our fitness, to last more than an hour. We need more movement and intelligent movement in midfield and, especially up top. We also really need the few runs that are made to be seen and used. We are very guilty of ignoring forward movement and turning back when forward options are available. I'm hoping that we'll improve with games and familiarity, but I don't think we have the players in place to emulate last season's performances. We need some more quality in the mid and front areas.

Good result after a much improved second half. Looking forward to the return leg where we will be favourites to progress, back at Fir Park, playing on a real pitch with real grass, not that 50% shredded tyres rubbish. We should have Said back, which will help going forward. Hopefully, RCC and Lowry have no worse than niggling injuries and we get Williams and one or two more back from the treatment table. It'll be a tough game, but we should have enough to progress.

Quite poor from Motherwell. Not able to hold the ball, not moving with any pace or precision, leaving the defensive flanks wide open and absolutely nothing in the final third. Happy that it is still 0-0, but I expect Helsinki will score eventually. We may have to take a 1 or 2 goal defeat here and recover it next week. Let's hope for better in the second half.

We'll beat Falkirk. Their hex over us can't continue this season.

Similar in style, but nowhere near as cohesive at this point. Struggling to really impact in the final third. It will improve though. It should be another interesting season.

That was a great win. Not near our fluid best, but there were some brilliant passages of play at times. The defence did OK, but there were some nervy moments. We do allow teams to cross the ball into our box far too often and far too easily. You could see that it was early season though, our press disappeared in the second half. Did we just run out of steam? More movement is needed to link the middle to front, and a bit more pace required in the approach play in the final third. As everyone knows, we need a goalscorer. We will get better.

Great win. I certainly didn't see that coming after Hibs equalised. What a goal to win it.

What a goal. Yes!

We are not at the races now. Got to see 5his out.

It's going to be a difficult final 30mins
