jbee647 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 It’s a disgrace the way our non old firm sides perform in Europe every year, I’m not expecting them to get to quarter finals of European tournaments, but year after year they are eliminated in qualifiers before the summer is out.

The league cup groups generally draw a premier league side against a mix of championship, league 1, league 2 and then sides from level 5. Could argue a friendly against an English Championship side is going to be more beneficial than putting 7 past Cowdenbeath. That being said I don't know who Motherwell have chosen to play in their friendlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory McNamara Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Sligo Rovers are hot right now, they are in a competitive mode since February. They have already played 23 matches, are 5th in the league, top tier team, 3rd best in Ireland. Only in early November the door will close and they leave the current tournament behind.

Disjointed, unfit, second to every ball, no zip about them. Some of that will be their lack of match fitness.
