Days after making his long-awaited first-team debut, Matty Connelly is still on a high and looking forward to the challenge of keeping his spot between the sticks this weekend in the Premier Sports Cup against Stenhousemuir.  Connelly explains his journey at Motherwell, which started when he was just four-years-old, and has involved multiple loan moves which he believes have aided his development and made him ready to step up to the first-team environment.

Manager Jens Berthel Askou explains the things he has learned about his team at this early stage, as well as touching on the things he believes they need to work on.  Disappointed to lose Jordan McGhee to injury, the Motherwell boss says he expects 'a few' more faces in the door before the window closes.

Jens Berthel Askou faced Peterhead in his first home match in charge, with the League One side travelling to Fir Park looking to cause an upset.  And they got off to the perfect start. Jack Brown raced through on goal before slotting past debutant Matty Connelly inside ten minutes. The new game model began to take shape and Motherwell controlled all of the ball and played the game in the Peterhead half. Emmanuel Longelo levelled the game, smashing into the top corner on his first start for the claret and amber. In the second-half, Peterhead dropped deeper and deeper, frustrating the hosts for large periods of the game. Just when it looked like the second goal wouldn't arrive, up popped Lukas Fadinger to get on the end of a special Callum Slattery cross in stoppage-time, to take the Steelmen onto five points in Group G.

In the 30+ degree heat, Jens Berthel Askou and his squad travelled to New Douglas Park to open up their Premier Sports Cup campaign against Clyde.  Playing on a dry and sticky surface, the Motherwell squad had to overcome the tricky conditions when they conceded on the 16th minute to their opponents. Tawanda Maswanhise sparked the turnaround, netting either side of half-time to put his side in the driving seat. However, the Steelmen were pegged back once again by Clyde, and the match ended 2-2 after 90 minutes. Five perfect penalties ensured Motherwell came away with the bonus point, as the squad now turn their attention to their first home match of the season against Peterhead.

Jens Berthel Askou is looking forward to his team upping the tempo on Tuesday night against Peterhead. The Motherwell boss knows his team have room for improvement but believes his squad are in a good spot at present.  The Dane says there will be more movement in the transfer window before the league opener against Rangers, and also provides updates on Aston Oxborough and Lennon Miller.

Winger Tawanda Maswanhise reflects on the tough test against Clyde on Saturday, but is now looking forward to the next challenge against Peterhead on Tuesday night.
