Motherwell’s Fortunes

It was a point to start the new campaign last Saturday for the Steelmen. It was a 0-0 draw with County came last time out but a clean sheet was most welcomed.

New signing Apostolos Stamatelopoulos got his first minutes after joining the club, with Aston Oxborough making his first league appearance after two seasons in North Lanarkshire.

It was a memorable afternoon against Rangers last time out for Motherwell, as goals from Theo Bair and Dan Casey secured a historic first win at Ibrox since 1997.

Opposition Report

Rangers also drew their first league match of the season, with the Gers coming away with a 0-0 draw from Tynecastle.

They are in European action on Tuesday night, taking on Dynamo Kyiv in Poland in the Champions League third round qualifying.

Rangers have been busy in the transfer market this summer, with manager Philip Clement also signing a new deal. Former ‘Well captain Liam Kelly is amongst the ranks, with Connor Barron another player who has made the move to Ibrox from a Scottish Premiership side.

Tom Lawrence was the biggest goal threat during the pre-season schedule for Rangers, scoring three goals across the games.

Improvement was what Stuart Kettlewell wanted after the Motherwell performance six days prior, and in the league curtain raiser against Ross County, there were elements that were much improved. 

With the better of the chances and a solid defensive showing, the Steelmen just couldn’t find the back of the net to make it a three point start to the new campaign.

With a trip to Rangers looming, taking the shackles off and becoming that bit more creative is the next task on the horizon.

We can only apologise for any inconvenience this delay has caused, however it was a situation that was outside of our control. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Saturday.

Sam Nicholson has suffered a patella related injury and will be missing for several months. 

Nicholson picked up an injury during pre-season and despite almost fully recovering, suffered this new setback that will keep him unavailable.

“This is a really frustrating situation for both club and player,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.

“I’ve spoken with Sam and will ensure he is full supported during this lay off. He is gutted that he is having to miss more games after working so hard to get back fit.

“From a club point of view, it’s another blow. Our injury list isn’t getting shorter and we’ve now got one less option in the forward areas. We’ll look to see if we can bring in some fresh blood to try and cope with the situation.”

We wish Sam a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back out on the pitch soon.

EPIC Global solutions will be at Fir Park on Tuesday 6 August to deliver a gambling harm awareness course. 

There is a well-established link between gambling and suicide and gambling can be a dominant factor. People experiencing gambling-related harms are a risk group for the experience of suicidal thoughts, attempts and death by suicide.

According to ‘The Conversation’ website earlier this year, research from different countries has shown that among people receiving treatment for problem gambling, between 22% and 81% have thought about suicide, and 7% to 30% have made an attempt.

This programme is delivered to all first-team players, but also to supporters. The session will cover:

• Personal lived experience from an ex-sports professional
• Stats and headlines around the issue
• The Gambling Spectrum
• Signs to look out for in family or friends
• Signposting and Q&A

The event will take place David Cooper Stand and will last no longer than 45 minutes. This programme is only possible because of the excellent work in the community done by the Motherwell Football Club Community Trust and all their staff.

More information on the effects gambling can have on your mental health can be found online.

Stuart Kettlewell’s thoughts on the 0-0 opening day draw with Ross County.

Motherwell had to settle for their first point of the season as they fought out a stalemate with Ross County.

In a fixture which has served up a glut of goals over the season’s goalmouth action was scarce as both ‘keeper’s were asked to make only one remarkable save each.

And even the appearance of ‘Well’s new Australian striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos for the last 25 minutes failed to break the deadlock.

Despite last week’s disappointing performance against Partick Thistle, Stuart Kettlewell made only one change, with Moses Ebiye starting up front alongside Zach Robinson.

County boasting a perfect Premier Sports Cup record, made their first visit to Fir Park sine their 5-0 hammering in February. Don Cowie aimed to avenge that result which ironically cost his predecessor, Derek Adams, the manager’s job.

Aston Oxborough was handed the ‘keeper’s gloves for his first Premier League start. And after six minutes he got his first touch clutching Jordan’s White’s looping header under his crossbar.

Motherwell’s possession and build up play was steady but unable to penetrate County’s back four until 20 minutes.

Robinson nicked the ball off Will Nightingale 15 yards into the visitors half and headed for goal. Although he kept possession until he entered the County box, with Ross Laidlaw racing from his goal, the former Wimbledon striker slipped the ball past the ‘keeper and his right hand post.

Eight minutes later the Steelmen almost sneaked into the lead. Davor Zdravkovski’s terrific lofted pass found Ewan Wilson on the byeline. His cute but back into the six yard box gave Ebiye a chance for a snap shot which Laidlaw beat away.

Two minutes from half-time Ebiye, at the edge of the six yard area, threw himself at Stephen O’Donnell’s low tempting cross, but failed to make contact has the sides remained level at the break.

Within a minute Laidlaw had to palm Dan Casey’s inswinging cross over his bar as the Fir Park men pressed from the restart.

A couple of minutes later a long ball across the County box found Andy Halliday unmarked. Looking for Robinson at the opposite post his low ball was blocked and a chance to test Laidlaw gone.

The first real chance for County came after 57 minutes when they were awarded a free kick 25 yards from goal. And although Ronan Hale curled the ball low round the wall, Oxborough was his equal throwing his large frame across goal and palm the ball round his left hand post.

After 66 minutes and with the home attack still finding it difficult to find gaps in the County defence, Kettlewell made his first substitution, introducing Stamatelopoulos to Scottish football.

Eight minutes later former County man Ross Callachan made his first appearance in a ‘Well jersey as the home side chased a winner.

It might have come at the other end in the 74th minute when White, with plenty of space and time, rose 10 yards from goal only to nod the ball over Oxborough’s bar.

Ten minutes from time, from a free kick to the left of the penalty area, Halliday curled his effort over the bar as Motherwell’s frustrations to get an effort on goal continued.

Five minutes later they managed to hit the target only to be denied by a stunning save.

O’Donnell’s low cross was deflected beyond the box but only to the waiting Wilson and his thundering left foot drive seemed destined for the back of the net until Laidlaw stretched high to his right to repel the shot.

Paul McGinn and Dylan Wells were given final nine minutes to edge the game Motherwell’s way but ultimately two shot shy teams had to settle for a point.

Lennon Miller is your G4 Claims player of the month for July. 

The 17-year-old has remained a consistent performer during the month of July.

He came on as a second-half substitute against Edinburgh City in our opening competitive game, and since that introduction, he has played every minute of the next three games.

Controlling the game from the middle of the pitch against Montrose, he dispatched his penalty in the shootout to help his side earn a bonus point.

His strong performance against Clyde caught the eye of many, where he was involved in the build up to Moses Ebiye’s opener, before getting on the scoresheet from the spot in the second-half.
