Stenhousemuir v Motherwell 16/08/2026🏆SLC

[texanwellfan]

It’s like playing fitba in the school playground, dreadful surface. 

[texanwellfan]

I’m just hoping no one gets crocked or picks up an injury.

BBC showing that Stenny have had 5 corners so far. That can't be right surely?

It is and don't call me Shirly

Not the best by a long, long way. Absolutely dreadful performance so far. Hodge has had some nice touches, Connelly has been solid,  but other than that, I think it is showing two things; our 2nd string aren't that good and we can't play possession football on pitches like that.

[mfc]

The pitch is dreadful but we have been just as bad,I get there playing out of necessity but wilson and ross aren't the answer and masanhise and vogt need a rocket up there arse,hopefully the managers half time team talk does the business as were miles off it here. 

[Andy H]

That "pitch" is horrific.  Hope no one gets injured

[Spit_It_Out]

Crap pitch or not now we need to use rested first team players to try get this over the line.

If anything it proves our bench quality for the season might not be good enough as folk think.

Pretty terrible game so far. There’s a few guys in the team who look like they are players we’ve farmed out to the juniors to experience what it’s like playing against men. And they aren’t coping well.

said has shown a couple of sparks of brilliance, our defence look pretty solid enough with Reich and Lebel and Matty Connolly is doing well. Hodges looks ok so far, always looking for the ball and wanting immediately to look forward. JT looks poor on that surface, I think it highlights his bad first touch.

we’ll see how the second half goes. At least we’ve not lost a goal yet…. And Marvin Bartley is a moanin faced C.

[texanwellfan]

Im not going to judge anyone playing on that pitch! 

[wellsince75]

Appreciate a few players needed to be given a chance throughout the game  + huge opportunity in Europe.

To play Connelly, Wilson, Ross, Whyte and Booth from the start. Add to that it's Hodges first game and Vogt has been poor. 

For me it's over reaching in terms of changes and no surprise that we've been poor. 

[Richie]

Longelo and Lowry on

Said and Wilson off

[texanwellfan]

Is it Booth that keeps falling over? 

[bladesman]

Can understand both subs. Said may have been a sending off waiting to happen as he was getting riled up and Wilson is a mile off at the minute.

[Yoshi-1991]

Someone tell the well boys to change the tune

[Richie]

RCC and Fadinger on

Maswanhise and Hodge off

[MFCL84]

I thought we may have got Vogt off there. He is a man down today.

Today?

[wellsince75]

Vogt so far in Motherwell colours looks a long way off it . 
 

that said several are miles off it today 

[mio]

Good save from Matty, kept us in it there 

[wellfan]

Some incredibly poor individual performances today. Except Connelly. 

[MFCL84]

It is really difficult to improve a performance part way through a game when you start in such a poor fashion. So many players are not at the races today. The young boys are largely not ready,  and it is showing today. One or two on the pitch may have worked, but we look to be losing this today.

[1991Motherwell]

The last thing we need here is extra time!!

[MFCL84]

Vogt's body language indicates that he doesn't want to be on the pitch.
