Stephen O'Donnell says it hurt last Saturday to suffer defeat against Dundee, and believes it's about a positive reaction which has started this week in training.  The defender breaks down his season as a whole, speaking about his development and approach to the new style.

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou says the remaining nine games will be filled with challenges and it's very unlikely any top-six side will be unbeaten, and has laid down the challenge to his team to go and catch any of the sides above them in the table.  Askou is looking forward to going up against Martin O'Neill, but respect aside, the Dane has full belief that if his side perform to their top level, they will win the match.

It was nine games unbeaten for Motherwell as they headed back to Dens Park to play their rearranged match against Dundee.  Near 1400 Motherwell fans made the trip in the sunshine to see if the Steelmen could extend their run to ten games unbeaten. But facing off against a Dundee side on the up under Stephen Pressley, it was never going to be an easy afternoon. Tawanda Maswanhise and Lukas Fadinger went close to opening the scoring, but it was the hosts who opened the scoring in the first-half. Now with something to hang onto, Dundee defended their penalty box robustly, and it would take some magic from Callum Slattery to level the game as we entered the latter stages. But being level didn't last long, with Dundee scoring minutes later to retake the advantage and eventually inflict Motherwell's fourth league defeat of the season. The travelling crowd were full of life at full time, giving the players and staff plenty of encouragement despite the defeat. And with a trip to Celtic up next, the stakes couldn't be higher.

Another month, another five games. February was jam-packed as the Steelmen continued to catch the headlines.  Action against Rangers, Aberdeen, St Mirren and Dundee United resulted in another successful month. But the mindset doesn't change, and as Tawanda Maswanhise and Elliot Watt say, we'll let everyone else do the talking off the pitch. We will remain focused and ignore the noise.

Emmanuel Longelo and his Motherwell teammates are delighted to be receiving praise from external outlets, but insists the work must continue until the end of the season so they can finish the job.  The defender believes the full team must receive credit for what they have achieved to this point.

Jens Berthel Askou says his Motherwell side are feeling the connection with supporters, and that away performances this season so far have warranted a bigger return of points.  The Motherwell manager discusses the positive impact of securing top-six will have on the club, and how it helps for future planning.
