An interesting post from Dinnae-Punt-It on P & B. He/she rightly points out that, despite our paper thin squad,  Longelo, Wilson and Thor didn't get any game time in Jutland, as far as we know.  I was thinking exactly the same thing.

These are training games.

If we get turned over by Hanvar and pumped out of Europe then I might start to get concerned.

Hopefully a couple more signings in this week.

Do we know why we were missing so many 1st teamers? TJ injured & just will be on his holidays. Aside from that, whats the deal with the rest of them? Surprised ward, longello & said not featuring

Usually means they have a minor niggle from training and the coaching staff don't want to risk them in a training match.

Against a team on Saturday ' who wanted the details kept private for Security reasons'. From Carlisle Official X Account. Their fans are in stitches about this.

Thanks for the update Denny. That can only mean we are assessing trialists, which is a positive sign. However it also suggests we aren't yet in a position to give our strongest starting 11, whoever they might be, 90 minutes in their legs which is concerning as the Euro clock is ticking. It would seem our pre season preparation is a bit behind where it should be.

That's what I thought. Cannot have St Mirren diving in and stealing the next Eli Just from us. Hope they have planned for a sneaky wee drone appearing over the stand roof.

"Another step in our pre-season journey 💪

A predominantly young Motherwell side faced Carlisle United in a behind-closed-doors friendly match this afternoon at Fir Park.

The visitors came away with a 3-2 win in a tightly contested match, with goals coming from Ewan Wilson and Ibrahim Said for the home side."

Alfred’s interview suggests a very youthful team. He suggested the game enabled 2009 and 2010 players to get hair on their chests??

id like to see our more established players get minutes in their legs before playing a really good side on Friday night but hey ho… I’ll trust the process (I hate that phrase… sorry)

Can’t help but interpret ‘youthful’ meaning likely to stay for next season . 
 

was positive to hear Dawes is busy

Do we have any information on the injuries referred to? 

That was a bit concerning, especially as we have a small squad at the moment.  Certainly, we know about TJ, who will be out for several weeks, and McGinn and Hendry, who are out for months. Hopefully, not much more than that.

When did they say JT would be out for several weeks? He was back in training this week.
