Legg focus not on Motherwell

Llanelli manager Andy Legg admits they are catching Motherwell at the perfect moment as the Steelmen adapt to the departures of numerous key players and a change in management.

But the Welshman insists his players have to focus on their own game or risk a "hiding" from the Clydesdale Bank Premier League club. Motherwell are going into the home leg of their Europa League first qualifying round clash with just 11 experienced players available to Jim Gannon, who was unveiled as the club's new manager on Tuesday.

"I just feel at the end of the day they are an SPL outfit and with the quality of players they have got, and the quality of players who have left the club - David Clarkson joined Bristol City for £800,000 - we are still the underdogs," he said.

He added: "It's a great opportunity - it's the best time we can possibly play them and I hope we can take full advantage.

"But there has been no talk about Motherwell's squad and how many players they have got.

"All the focus is on how we can play. I think that's how it should be.

"If we turn up and perform, we'll give Motherwell a game. If we don't, we could be totally outclassed and on the end of a hiding.

"I'll accept it if my team give their all and it's not good enough. If they don't, I'll not be happy."
