I have to ask a big favour of you all on here. In recent times the minutes applause at a football game to honour someone's memory has become pretty much standard. I've joined in with many, and will continue to do so to show respect. It's my turn to request that of you this Friday on the 34th Minute of Motherwell v Hertha Berlin to honour the memory of the man who introduced me to this wonderful fitba' club nearly 60 years ago. My Dad was a season ticket holder at Fir Park since the 1970s, and continued to pay for his seat even though he couldn't make it to games in his later years. Please share this as wide as possible if you can, and give wee Jimmy the send-off I reckon he deserves from his ain folks.

Seems pretty clear what the manager considers his first eleven at the moment given this is the same team that started vs Morton. Although I've only seen two games so far, irrespective of whether they're good enough, I find it hard to argue that it's the best eleven we have...

This is a good friendly for us. The players having to execute our tactics against a much higher level of opposition. We’ve had some decent possession and for the most part we are trying to play a Passing game but we need more runs off the ball in attack and because we are having to play quicker some of the passing is going astray.

Quite a bit of dig in some of the tackles for a friendly match.

They are Quite a big physical side, it’s a useful game. I think it’s obvious the team look a little tired after their exertions on Tuesday, it’s a quick turnaround and I’d have preferred more than 4 subs as the risk of injury is high when players are knackered..

id like to see us create a bit more in the 2nd half, I think at times we look very tidy on the ball but lack any cutting edge. We’ll see what the next 45 brings.

Not so clever on the ball tonight.  Bit slow and some wayward passes. 

We have played some decent football tonight, the high press has been effective, we are actually playing out from the back effectively instead of hoofing it forward, but its the old issue we are toothless up front, Stamatelopoulos has been anonymous.

I hope JBA has another striker lined up, as we can't start the season with what we have now.

Hope so. Might be a case of waiting to see who is available on loan from the English leagues once they confirm their squads.

Definitely one (or two) light in that department.
