I’ll miss tonight but it looks a really interesting team, gutted to miss it. really pleased to see connelly get a chance, I just hope to god he takes it and does well. We badly need a goalie who’s not a crock. mcghee long term injury? Thanks Kettlewell

I think that is a player who would fit reasonably well at us. I suppose it just depends if he wants to go from earning circa £10k a week to £2k a week. he may get some club in league 1 offering £5k plus. We just can’t compete with these teams unfortunately.

Big Cedric signs for Ipswich. Oh to have him in our defence again.

I agree completely. The stuff he gets is embarrassing. He’s been a target from day 1 of a certain element of our fans. Even when he was playing well. In 50yrs of going to games I’ve seen it all before unfortunately.

As much as i struggle to warm to Halliday, I have no doubts that he’s a good football player. I actually think he’d be excellent as an old style sweeper behind a good centre half. The issue is, we need to find a good centre half.

Yip, I went there today expecting exactly this. And boy was that delivered. Should be good to see the next game though as it should hopefully show us as fans, how the manager saw that game and what changes he makes. As long as I can see a steady improvement in each of these league cup games, I’ll be ok with that. But yes today was a tough watch. I don’t want to now comment on who I thought was rotten (there were a few) as I’ll be accused of being a panty wetter. lol

I’m hanging about waiting but there’s no 35 stone strongman shown up to lift me yet.

2 pay at the gate turnstiles open today…. Finally some common sense. Will head down and pay at the gate at 2.50….. oh the nostalgia

Another winger…… this is unreal!!!

Go’on the nippy winger

I was too young to remember Marinello with us unfortunately. I saw him a couple of times when he was at Hearts but he was done by then. A fantastic player for us on his day by all accounts. The Scottish George Best he was called when he went to Arsenal.

I had no idea we were playing this afternoon? Is this a behind closed doors thing?

The stars are aligning for me *wingers*🙏 just what I ordered, let’s hope he’s Johnny Gahagan esque

I really like that, I like the ravenscraig link but I agree the British steel discussion from earlier. But it is a nod to the area and our family members, who most of us all have, who have connections to working there. i like sky blue as well (much nicer than “petrol”blue imo) and it sits nicely with claret and amber. I also agree even as an old fella, I’d buy that if it had “we fkn hate thatcher” on it (as the main sponsor)

Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom Shankands head, is the size of the Moon.

I think I may be one of the perceived pant pissers as i recognise a couple of my comments lol I certainly didn’t mean to offend or annoy any of our precious forum members but I don’t think I was wrong? But it’s a pre season friendly I agree and tbh I’ve forgotten all about it today. As much as I didn’t see many positives last night, it was good to watch us play and have players getting game time against a good side and I did think highly of a couple of youngsters thrown on in the 2nd half. ultimately tho it’s a fans forum, loads of supporters have different views, no point in folk getting worked up about it.

Yeah my mistake, I saw no 30 and thought that was ferrie? Seemingly it was Forrest, thought he looked ok.

Was he no 30?

To finish on a positive note this evening- I thought the boy ferrie looks an Interesting one. What I saw him do was more than I saw from any other Motherwell midfielder tonight.

How easy did they make that goal look. Dear me. tough first game…. They really need to get a wee night at the 10 pin bowling to sort that out.

They do look a decent side, they were 6th in the Dutch league last season as well. So much for people saying the Dutch league is similar to the SPL. What nonsense

There’s a lot of huffing and puffing going on without anything to show for it. And that’s just in my house

2-0 not convinced that shot was on target that our keeper parried out to the oncoming Twente player.

Not seen anything in watt or fadinger so far. and what the fk is going on with this defensive routine. It’s verging on embarrassing

They do look a decent side to be fair. I know they did well in Europe last year too. You can see by just their movement they are at a different level to us.
