Motherwell v Freiburg 20/8/26

[Welly Machine]

I think what hasn't helped the perception of Vogt's start with us for some people is the unusually high early hit rate of the other new signings, i.e. most, if not all of the rest, seem to have settled straight away and have at worst impressed to some degree or even looked real finds.

Probably be a few months into the season before things look a bit clearer, for all of them.

Higdon is the obvious example but I could name two more at least who had very uninspiring debuts butwent on to do well with us.

Lukas Jutkiewitz ( excuse spelling)

Debuted at Aberdeen under Gannon. He was slow looked unfit, the ball kept bouncing off him. Remember how he turned out?

Louis Moult

Debut at Inverness under Baraclough and looked completely lost. Bullied off the ball, lacking a physical presence. H just looked out his depth. The other debut striker that day impressed more. Was it Wesley Fletcher ? Remember how the two of them turned out?

Can`t believe you missed out Stevie Cowan!!!😁

I think we held our own in the first half against a very physical big german 11 players. I was so glad we scored even scf players were like calm down its early, it made them actually be like right this isnt going to be a walk in the park for us.

Even their coach said he credited our bravery and the way we played, i just wish we could go back to the jens way play it out from back break teams down lets hope joe H can be the watt replacement and control the midfield for us

 

MON THE WELL

This.

I've seen flashes of real class from him and am confident that he has ability. Whether or not he comes good only time will tell. Perhaps, given his background, he's just taking time to settle. Just to be clear he was a "JBA" signing.

Vogt was a tough watch at Ochilview but there has been enough to suggest that his raw attributes could be developed and used to good effect out wide. I think he may benefit from having the likes of SoDs playing behind him and talking him through the game. 

More often than not, pace will cause damage in this league and he has it in abundance. The positional sense and knowing when to press will hopefully come over the next few months.
