Said over on P&B, we seem a far more credible club now from top to bottom.

Slowly eroding the 'plucky wee club' culture to become a more serious outfit.

Is there any going back now?

 

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.

A good travelling support seems to be building.

I think I was the only one who thought Lowry was really poor in the first half? I didn’t think he was at it at all, kept giving the ball away and was pretty weak at times but his 2nd half until he was hooked was brilliant. I thought it was like watching a different player, really confident, great work rate….. not sure what Alfred said to him at half time but it worked.

His cross to pick out Maswanhise in the six yard box was outstanding. I know what you mean about the misplaced passes but, to be fair, they weren't necessarily the wrong pass. There was one that he played out to the right wing that would have taken out a couple of defenders but Johnny checked back rather than make the run. Went out for a throw, so looked like a bad pass. The players will get to know what he is capable of over the season.

There was also a through pass that split the centre backs and just eluded two players bursting in behind. Given time those attackers will know what he is capable of and react a split second earlier and so make the most of his vision.

Still buzzing!!, one of the best nights at Fir Park in the 49 years I have been attending matches.   The feelgood factor is amazing and when you consider we lost 4 first team regulars plus Welsh on loan it's remarkable that most replacements have hit the ground running. Only Vogt has struggled a bit but the lad needs time to settle.   Midfield is looking so strong now with Hodge arriving and Olly Whyte who I think could make a big impact.

Maswanhise a concern as just not the same player. If he wants a move he aint exactly helping his chances but I feel if we can get a centre forward then he moves out wide which will suit him better. 

Ahhhhh happy Friday folks

We all love a wee stat.

Motherwell have won more European matches in their last 4 matches than Rangers have in their last 15 matches.

He's behind most of the team in terms of match fitness which is plainly evident.

He's also a striker and needs an open play goal for the confidence boost.
