October: Filled with drama

Coming into October, Motherwell had four fixtures ahead of them. Taking on Champions Celtic, a home match against Falkirk, travelling to Livingston and then rounding off with a midweek clash against Dundee United at Fir Park.  All eyes were on the Steelmen as they travelled to Glasgow, with many keen to see if they would alter their possession-based football approach at Parkhead. A short break would be next before facing newly promoted and highly impressive Falkirk at Fir Park as Motherwell looked to build momentum going into the semi-final of the Premier Sports Cup. It was then the short journey to West Lothian for Jens Berthel Askou's side, as they faced off against another promoted side in Livingston. October ended with a crucial Wednesday night match with Dundee United at Fir Park.

Showing control, but lacking our quality // Aberdeen 1-1 Motherwell

Looking to show a strong mentality following a heavy defeat in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final last weekend, Motherwell travelled north to take on Aberdeen for the third time this season.  Having got the better of the Dons in the first two meetings, Jens Berthel Askou was looking for a similar outcome this time round. Dominating possession, Callum Slattery had the best chance of the first-half, with the midfielder blasting an effort towards goal, but Mitov was able to tip it over. The second-half continued in the same fashion, but Motherwell failed to make possession count and could only watch as Jesper Karlsson raced forward and smashed into the net to open the scoring. Thankfully, Slattery and Elijah Just were on the ball to respond quickly from a quirky corner kick routine just minutes later. The draw ensured Motherwell stretched their unbeaten run in the league to three games, making it seven points from a possible nine.

Falling at the semi-final hurdle // Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren

The build up had been long and exciting going into the Premier Sports Cup semi-final match against St Mirren at Hampden for Motherwell fans, with over 9000 supporters making their way to Glasgow in the hope of seeing their side reach a final for the first time since 2018.  But on the pitch, things didn't go according to plan as St Mirren raced away into a two-goal lead, leaving a mountain to climb for Motherwell. In the second-half, the Steelmen held onto the ball for large periods in the St Mirren half but were limited to few openings. Callum Hendry did find the back of the net with seven minutes to go, offering a crumb of encouragement to the fans that a comeback could be on. But that feeling was short-lived, as St Mirren added a third and a fourth before the full-time whistle as Motherwell went all out for an equaliser. A thoroughly disappointing day on the big stage, but the Steelmen have an opportunity to go out on a high ahead of the next international break when they face Aberdeen for the third time this season next weekend.
