Andy Halliday has expressed concerns over Motherwell's attacking capabilities under new manager Alfred Johansson. Despite an unbeaten run in five matches this season, Halliday argues that the team is lacking options at the top end of the pitch. Key players like Elijah Just, Elliot Watt, and Callum Slattery have departed, and the future of Tawanda Maswanhise remains uncertain. Of the eight players signed this summer, only one is a forward. Halliday suggests that additional signings are necessary for Motherwell to reach their full potential as they adapt to a new manager and integrate new players.

"While Motherwell have made an impressive start to life under new boss Alfred Johansson, they must look to bolster their attacking options, says former player Andy Halliday. The creative talents of Elijah Just, Elliot Watt and Callum Slattery have moved on, while it may be difficult to retain Tawanda Maswanhise.
