Marvin Kaleta reviews the transition from an Under 21 environment, to first-team football. The Wolves loanee made quite the impact in his last match against Dundee United, where he was delighted to give something back to the fans.  The right-back has taken plenty advice from senior pros so far, including Steve Seddon and Stephen O'Donnell.

Manager Stuart Kettlewell was ecstatic at the turnout on Friday night, and has hopes that non-regular supporters will attend the match this weekend against St Mirren.  Kettlewell provides a thorough update on our injured players, as well as discussing the recent departure of Steven Naismith.

In a game of the highest importance, Zach Robinson emptied his tank and ran himself into the ground against Dundee United in the quarter-final of the Premier Sports Cup. Not only did he score his first Motherwell goal in emphatic fashion, his trickery and close control ensured the United backline had a difficult night at the office.

With a bumper crowd packed into Fir Park, hoping for a spirited Motherwell performance, the Steelmen started their quarter-final match against Dundee United with hope and energy.  A spot at Hampden was at stake, and it took until the 45th minute for the game to see it's first goal. Zach Robinson rifled a shot into the top corner, that set the Motherwell support wild.  As the second half progressed, nerves creeped into the game. With the target getting closer and closer, former Motherwell hero Louis Moult had a say. He smashed past Aston Oxborough with just over 10 minutes remaining in the match. It was anyone's game at this stage.  But there was to be the fairytale ending for the Steelmen. Academy graduate and Motherwell fan Lennon Miller sent the keeper the wrong way in stoppage time from the spot after Moses Ebiye was fouled, which secured a return to Hampden in the cup for the first time in six years.

Stuart Kettlewell gives his reaction as his side book a place at Hampden with a 2-1 win over Dundee United.

Midfielder Andy Halliday says he has heard the stories about volunteers handing out leaflets, and informs us that the players are also aware of the extra effort that is going on in the town. Halliday feels the supporters' energy has really driven the team to success in the last outings at Fir Park, and hopes for something similar on Friday night.

Manager Stuart Kettlewell has seen first hand this week just how much the club means to the supporters. With volunteers handing out leaflets and going door-to-door to get extra people to the game on Friday, the manager says it's now his job to ensure the team put in a performance.  With the prospect of reaching Hampden for the first time in six years in the cup on the horizon, Kettlewell says everyone is excited for the match but knows Dundee United will be visiting Fir Park with a similar mindset.

With a chance to progress to Hampden in the quarter-final of the Premier Sports Cup at stake, this new generation of Motherwell players will need everything from everyone to take that next step to becoming a Motherwell legend.

Aberdeen had made a flawless start to their season. Nine wins on the bounce meant Pittodrie was packed for the arrival of Stuart Kettlewell's Motherwell, who themselves were coming into this one with three wins out of three.  Wearing their brand new third kit, the Steelmen made a slow start to proceedings and found themselves behind at the break. Half time changes and early second-half substitutes improved the performance but Aberdeen would find the back of the net again, to seemingly kill off the match. That wasn't to be the case however. Moses Ebiye once again found the back of the net in the latter stages of the match and had it not been for a brilliant Mitov save from Gordon's effort in stoppage time, it could have been all square. In the end, Aberdeen hung on and Motherwell came away with nothing, something they could feel slightly aggrieved about. But there is no time to ponder, with a quarter-final match against Dundee United on the horizon.

Stuart Kettlewell gives his thoughts on the 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen.
