Ya Bezzer!

We fluked a result there last season so I'm not hugely surprised. It's a bad pitch and not an inspiring place to play. Scape goating young players is totally out of order, we weren't good enough as a team and Stenhousemuir were just better than us. If we know anything about football coming off a European match is always dangerous and that's something you just have to deal with if we are in Europe. We were poor against Falkirk as well. You have to believe in the system and there is no point going ape shit at the first set back, that's the 'old' Motherwell coming out there.

It'll happen multiple times. If you want to play this way that's something you just have to accept. Just the same as if you want to give young players a chance you have to accept they will make mistakes and they have to learn the game. The great thing Askou gave us was his notion of risk/reward.

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.

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.

Not sure what was more outrageous last night. Said's goals or the queues for a pie! 🤣

It's a public vote.

Excellent performance. Dare I say it, we were a level above HJK and well worth the win. And I think we still have levels of sharpness to go up. Said's goals were outrageous. Maradona-esque. Defensively we look very sound, Priestman and Fadinger were excellent. Looks like a strong core down the middle.

Airbles Road is back to being the boy racers 1am race track.

As accidental butt deflections go. 🤣

I'm just desperately trying to remember we have a game on a Thursday.

Stenny have been good for the last couple of seasons and we barely got past them last time.....but we should be able to put out a second string and at least be competitive and perhaps bring on key players if and when needed.

Not see any 'all the injuries are the managers fault' type comments. 😎

Falkirk have struggled this season. I wouldn't write them off just yet but their only wins have been against Edinburgh City and Stranraer and they have lost to Ayr Utd and St Mirren. On a free week I'd be confident we'd beat them but with extra games and travel, as well as injuries, it makes it a bit harder. Still think we should be getting at least a point out the game although at the moment you are kinda wondering what kind of team we will put out when each game rolls round.

Also Shkendija coach was refused entry to UK for tonights match against Hibs.

HB are ranked 215th in Europe. HJK are ranked 153rd in Europe. Hearts are ranked 138th in Europe. I think that gives you an idea of what we are up against. HJK will be favourites over two legs but the tie is winnable for us. What, maybe a 40-60 chance of getting through?
