Motherwell vs Havnar Bóltfelag (23/7) Discussion

[joewarkfanclub]

I looked this up yesterday because Im kinda sad and wonder about these things, but Hanvar is Faroese for Port or Harbour. Boltfelag means football club. So HB Torshaven are actually Port Torshaven FC.

Your welcome!

😍😍😍

I had hoped to see another midfielder added before tonight as we certainly had enough warning of the likelihood of Slattery, Watt and Just leaving, but thats life.   

Putting the lack of striking power aside for now, as that’s arguably been our hardest position to fill for a while, I agree entirely with your point about the midfield. I’d go as far as saying it’s a complete failure not to have had someone lined up and already in the building to replace at least one of those players. And don’t tell me that’s Willy Vogt. He’s more likely a Maswanhise replacement, but he looks pretty poor regardless.

I actually think we are likely to be better in the away leg as we will have an extra weeks fitness under our belt and might have more players to choose from.

More players will need to be players back from injury which I'm not sure is likely. To be eligible to play in the second leg, a player needed to be registered by last night..

I was hoping Manny, Eythor, JT & Cookie might all be fit for the second leg. Maybe even Johnny K.

My guess is that we'll see one or two of these players featuring tonight at some stage.

It feels like we’re at the stage where it wouldn’t even be a surprise if Matty took his gloves off and played outfield.

He could probably do a job at right back, to be fair.

Apparently Paulsen started life as an outfield player.....

The more I look at that the more concerned I get about tonight! 😞

Tonight should be seen as being a big game for us and not simply as being a bonus or Euro jolly as it has been in the past. We should be trying to move on as a club. Its a rare chance to raise the club's profile; bring in extra cash through prize money and gates; and sustain the momentum from last season with the support. Its a chance to move up a level and we should treat it as such.

With games like this, we just need to hope we have enough at this early stage to get us across the line. We're always going to be up against it playing such an important tie this early, but it is what it is. We know how it works. 

Hopefully we have the quality to overcome what will absolutely be a gulf in match fitness and sharpness.
