Motherwell’s Fortunes

It was a night to remember for Motherwell last week as they returned to winning ways against Dundee United, to reach the semi-final of the Premier Sports Cup.

Zach Robinson got off the mark with a sensational first-half strike, before Lennon Miller slotted home a stoppage-time penalty.

A narrow defeat against undefeated Aberdeen in the league two weeks ago ended Motherwell’s three game winning run.

Opposition Report

St Mirren have also made a fast start to the league campaign. Joint second highest scorers in the league, with only Celtic ahead of them, they are fifth in the table on eight points, just one point ahead of the Steelmen.

They defeated Hearts 2-1 in their last match in Paisley. That was their first win in seven games in all competitions.

Toyosi Olusanya has hit the ground running this season. The forward has four goals in the league, scoring in each of the last three games. Netting twice in Europe, Olusanya is only one goal away from levelling his 2023/24 season tally.

Motherwell will face Ross County in round three of the SFA Youth Cup. 

The tie will take place on Tuesday 1 October at Fir Park. Kick off is 3pm.

Entry to the match will be free, with all supporters being housed in the Phil O’Donnell Stand.

Jack Vale has picked up a calf injury and will be missing for 10 to 12 weeks. 

The forward has now returned to his parent club Blackburn Rovers to begin his rehabilitation.

Speedy recovery, Jack.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words after a fantastic Friday evening under the lights at Fir Park. 

Firstly, I want to offer my deepest condolences to Graham Kerr’s friends and family after his sad passing. It was a lovely tribute in the 57th minute of the match, and I want to thank the Motherwell & Dundee United supporters for the minute’s applause.

Within the build-up to Friday, there was a huge amount of effort and long hours put in by many in the lead-up to the game. When the draw was made and we put ourselves forward for the Friday night fixture, we all sensed an opportunity for us to draw in a bumper crowd. The Well Society Board and the Club met to align their promotional campaigns, and the work immediately commenced.

We had the Well Society Board and so many volunteers delivering 7,500 leaflets around the local area, plus local businesses displaying match posters. I feel those efforts epitomised the community spirit going into the game. In the end, we saw 8327 supporters attend the match, which we believe to be the highest non-old firm, domestic match attendance at Fir Park in 13 years.

That was a sensational effort from everyone to attend and support the players.

Thankfully, you were all rewarded with the perfect ending to the game. The noise when that winning penalty hit the back of the net was spine-tingling.

It was great to see Fir Park bouncing and now we have a semi-final at Hampden to look forward to. However, there are a lot of important games before then, starting on Saturday at home to St Mirren.

We hope that those who came along on Friday, especially those who aren’t regular attendees, can make another effort to attend not just on Saturday, but for future games. There is a special feeling around the club at present, with everyone working together and in tandem. I stated that was my intention when I first arrived at Motherwell in April, but we need to continue that work, with the club, Well Society, and the fanbase all working in partnership to support the club on and off the pitch.

Finally, I just want to reiterate my gratitude to all 8327 people who were here on Friday and to those who were supporting from afar. We will continue to work hard at building relationships with everyone and bringing us all together. It’s been a good start, and there’s more to come.

Aberdeen face Celtic in the other semi-final.

With a bumper crowd packed into Fir Park, hoping for a spirited Motherwell performance, the Steelmen started their quarter-final match against Dundee United with hope and energy. 

A spot at Hampden was at stake, and it took until the 45th minute for the game to see it’s first goal. Zach Robinson rifled a shot into the top corner, that set the Motherwell support wild.

As the second half progressed, nerves creeped into the game. With the target getting closer and closer, former Motherwell hero Louis Moult had a say. He smashed past Aston Oxborough with just over 10 minutes remaining in the match. It was anyone’s game at this stage.

But there was to be the fairytale ending for the Steelmen. Academy graduate and Motherwell fan Lennon Miller sent the keeper the wrong way in stoppage time from the spot after Moses Ebiye was fouled, which secured a return to Hampden in the cup for the first time in six years.
