What they're saying

"
The "big positive" of a free week has helped align Motherwell's new-look squad with the club's principles, says assistant coach Max Rogers. An attempt to qualify for the Conference League meant the Fir Park side were playing three games a week for much of the start of their season. Despite that, Alfred Johansson's men have still been able to collect eight points from their opening five league matches.
