Motherwell played their third away game in a row, this time travelling to the capital to face Hearts at Tynecastle. Looking to build on the unbeaten and impressive start to the competitive season, Motherwell started brightly and started to play their immensely attractive football.  The hosts couldn't cope with the Steelmen's play, and goals from Callum Slattery, Tawanda Maswanhise and Emmanuel Longelo had them three to the good midway through the second half. But despite the outstanding play and large domination of the match, Motherwell were not out of sight. Hearts got the game back to 3-3 with five minutes left to play, setting the game up for a grandstand finish. Both sides looked likely at finding the winner, but neither could convert.

Jens Berthel Askou is pleased from the buy-in seen from the number of supporters who have been following the team home and away so far this season. With 300 new season ticket holders, 6000 home fans against Rangers and 1500 away fans against St Johnstone, he is not surprised the away end is sold out already for Saturday's match against Hearts.  The manager discusses the thought process of bringing Callum Hendry to the club, future incoming transfers and the state of play regarding the current injured players at the club.

Calum Ward has grasped his chance with both hands since and says he's enjoying the amount of minutes he's currently getting.  Ward has adapted well to the new system being implemented by the manager, and is learning with every minute played this season.

With 1500 Motherwell fans making the trip to McDiarmid Park, there was a sense of optimism in the air as the Steelmen took on Championship leaders St Johnstone for a place in the quarter-final of the Premier Sports Cup.  Having reached the semi-final last season, Motherwell fans were dreaming of a return to Hampden, but the task would not be a simple one, with St Johnstone winning all their games so far this season in all competitions. With both sides trying to keep the ball on the ground, the match made for a good watch, with both sides having chances. After 90 minutes, the feeling for frustration was apparent within both camps as neither side could break the deadlock, and we would head into extra time. In the first period, more chances came for Motherwell, but nobody could convert. As penalties loomed, up popped Lukas Fadinger with the big moment of the afternoon, curling the ball past the keeper to book a spot in the last eight.

Manager Jens Berthel Askou wishes Lennon Miller and his family all the best for the future following his club-record transfer to Udinese.  The Motherwell boss previews the match on Saturday, hoping his side can take another step closer to Hampden. He also provides the latest teams new from the Motherwell camp and explains his joy in securing Tawanda Maswanhise until 2028.

Elijah Just talks about how hard it will be to replace Lennon Miller following his move to Italy. Just talks about the mood in the camp ahead of the match in the Premier Sports Cup against St Johnstone.  The forward has enjoyed his time in Scotland so far and feels settling in has came naturally.

He came in as a boy and he leaves a man. Thank you for all your effort in claret and amber, Lennon.

The time has come for Lennon Miller to bid farewell to Fir Park.

Jens Berthel Askou's first away game in the William Hill Premiership was in Paisley, against St Mirren. Ahead of the match, the Motherwell boss wanted to see his side be adaptable in their game model as the team geared up for a different type of challenge.  All the positive signs were there for the Steelmen, as they dominated possession and created plenty chances against Stephen Robinson's side. Ibrahim Said, Callum Slattery, Tawanda Maswanhise and Apostolos Stamatelopoulos all had chances, but couldn't convert. Having 70% of the ball, the 927 travelling fans were enthused by what they were seeing on the pitch and despite not taking all three points, walked out of the stadium full of optimism.
