Assistant manager Keith Lasley reflects on ‘Well’s 5-1 win over Darlington as pre-season preparations continue. 

Motherwell continued their pre-season preparations with a 5-1 win over Darlington.

Danny Johnson bagged his second goal in as many friendlies as the Steelmen stormed to a 2-0 lead within seven minutes.

Cédric Kipré’s opener from inside the six-yard box was followed up by Johnson’s stunning volley at Blackwell Meadows, as ‘Well asserted their control over the National League North opposition.

Allan Campbell made it three before half time with a neat finish on the bounce, placing the ball beyond Maddison in to the side of the net.

The hosts pulled one back thanks to a neat finish from Harvey Saunders, who got the better of Aaron Taylor-Sinclair before prodding neatly past Trevor Carson eight minutes after the restart.

Stephen Robinson made a number of changes midway through the second half, with 17-year-old James Scott among those to be introduced.

Ryan Bowman capped off 90 minutes with a neat lob made it 4-1 to the Fir Parkers. The striker latched on to Carl McHugh’s defensive header which looped over the Darlington defence before being helped on by the English striker from eight yards.

Youngster Scott wrapped up proceedings with just seconds to go, cutting in from the left at pace and fizzing a low effort in to the far corner.

Up next for the Steelmen is Dunfermline on Thursday, as Robinson’s men look to continue their strong pre-season form.

Motherwell kicked off their 2018/19 pre-season schedule with a friendly win away to Crusaders.

Danny Johnson scored with the last touch of the ball to secure a 1-0 victory in Belfast, with his back post header finding the net in Jordan Owens’ testimonial match.

The Steelmen played two different XIs in each half, giving the majority of the squad who travelled playing time.

New goalkeeper Mark Gillespie and left back Aaron Taylor-Sinclair both got starts, with Peter Hartley also making his return from injury.

The heat at Seaview took the tempo down somewhat, with both sides having a handful of chances to open the scoring.

An acrobatic effort from Ryan Bowman was the visitors’ best attempt, while the hosts were denied by an offside flag and an incredible save from Gillespie.

The second half saw the introduction of a whole new 11 players, including summer recruits Alex Rodríguez Gorrín, Liam Donnelly and Danny Johnson.

And it was the latter who would find the net just before the referee’s whistle.

Elliott Frear, who had been industrious down the left flank, swung the ball to the back post where Johnson was on hand to nod the ball home.

Next up for Motherwell is a closed doors game with Morton on Tuesday, followed by the trip to Darlington next Sunday.
