Motherwell’s Fortunes

Motherwell came up just short against Champions Celtic last time, conceding a goal in stoppage-time which consigned the Steelmen to their first league defeat of the season, and Jens Berthel Askou’s first competitive defeat at the club.

But Apostolos Stamatelopoulos found the back of the net twice last time out, making it three goals in two games for the frontman.

Elijah Just, Callum Slattery, Callum Hendry and Tom Sparrow are all nearing their return to action, with captain Paul McGinn coming back into the team a fortnight ago against Celtic.

The last competitive meeting between these two sides was back in 2010 at Fir Park, when a single Ryan Flynn goal secured all three points for the visitors. The Steelmen’s last victory over Falkirk was in October 2009 when Lukas Jutkiewicz found the back of the net in a 1-0 win.

August was gruelling, but the performances were positive. One thing was missing however, the first league win. 

Fresh from the international break, three games were due to be played in September. It was a huge month this early on in the season for Motherwell, with a place at Hampden at stake and a chance to get off the mark in the league.

New signings Regan Charles-Cook and Stephen Welsh sit down to break down every game in September, and the emotions they felt on the pitch playing.

Elliot Watt has been named the G4 Claims player of the month for September. 

Comfortably winning in the voting against nominees Stephen O’Donnell, Stephen Welsh and Calum Ward.

Watt has been an ever-present in the Motherwell midfield this season and has been at the heart of the new style of play adopted by manager Jens Berthel Askou.

A stand out performer in every game he’s featured in Watt, picks up his first player of the month award at the third time of asking.

Well done, Elliot.

We have two players on international duty this month.

With the first league win of the season in the bag last week, Motherwell travelled to the home of the Scottish champions, Celtic.

Many were intrigued to see if the Steelmen could implement their style of play against Celtic, but Jens Berthel Askou’s men did just that and put in a terrific display.

After going one down to a penalty, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos drew his side level with a powerful header before the half time mark. Ten years on since their last victory at Celtic Park, Stamatelopoulos put Motherwell on track to end that drought, with the Aussie netting from the spot to put Motherwell ahead.

Motherwell’s brave approach on the ball was commended and impressive largely during the 90 minutes, but Celtic capitalised on poor decision-making to net a leveller and give Celtic hope of turning the game around.

After steadying the game and looking likely to get a point, Motherwell’s hearts would be broken in stoppage time when Daizen Maeda scored to spark wild celebrations amongst the home support, a compliment in itself for the effort and performance Motherwell displayed on the day.

A harsh and cruel ending wouldn’t dampen the Motherwell spirits, as focus turns to the return to action following the international break against Falkirk.

Elijah Just will not travel for international duty with New Zealand this month. 

Just was called up by his country for their two friendly matches against Poland and Norway but will remain in Scotland as he nears a return to action following a spell on the sidelines, and aims to be back in full training early next week.

Just last featured against Dundee at the start of September, but manager Jens Berthel Askou confirmed prior to the match against Celtic that the forward was close to a return.

Motherwell tasted defeat for the first time this season, and for the first time in 14 matches, losing 3-2 to Celtic in Glasgow.

A double from Apostolos Stamatelopoulos had the visitors in the lead, but a cruel injury-time winner from Daizen Maeda consigned the Steelmen to defeat for the first time.

Following a 14-game unbeaten run, the club’s best unbeaten run since 1952, Jens Berthel Askou and the squad travelled to the east end of Glasgow to face a Celtic side that was yet to taste defeat in domestic action this season.

Paul McGinn returned to the starting 11 for the first time since the end of August, with the Motherwell skipper making his 100th appearance for the club in the process. Johnny Koutroumbis also came into the 11 following his first Motherwell goal last weekend, with Stephen O’Donnell dropping to the bench.

The Steelmen have adopted a brave possession-based style of play and didn’t deviate from that throughout the opening exchanges, although Celtic almost took advantage as Callum McGregor took advantage of a loose pass, but Calum Ward was on hand to make a fine save.

Motherwell had their fair share of the ball but couldn’t carve out a chance to test Kasper Schmeichel in the Celtic goal.

A cross from the right was headed clear as far as McGregor, whose volley into the ground skidded up and appeared to hit the hand of Regan Charles-Cook. Referee Calum Scott pointed to the spot, and Kalechi Iheanacho slotted home from the spot.

Well continued to look dangerous and got a reward for their play shortly before half-time.

Tawanda Maswanhise delivered a low cross from the right, which Stamatelopoulos stooped low and headed in. After a long VAR check, despite clearly being onside, the goal eventually stood to send the sold-out Motherwell contingent wild.

The second half continued in the same vein – Motherwell being confident and composed on the ball and trying to take command of the game.

Next, a huge moment in the game as Maswanhise edged his way into the box and went down under a challenge. The referee didn’t seem interested, but VAR stepped in, and upon reflection, there was clear contact on the Zimbabwean’s foot.

Stamatelopoulos stepped up and notched his third goal in two games, blasting past Schmeichel.

The lead didn’t last too long, however.

Well tried to pass out from the back, but Benjamin Nygren was on hand to intercept and slot home for the equaliser. It seemed cruel on the Motherwell side, who had played superbly, but a further sting in the tail came along.

In added time, the third minute of seven added, Celtic worked the ball down the left, and the ball was eventually crossed to Daizen Maeda to nod home.

Motherwell Team: Ward, Koutroumbis, McGinn, Gordon, Longelo, Fadinger, Watt, Said, Charles-Cook, Maswanhise, Stamatelopoulos.

Motherwell Subs: Oxborough, O’Donnell, Balmer, Halliday, Priestman, McAllister, Ross, McColm, Osong.
