The manager gives his thoughts on a late defeat in Perth.

Full Match St Johnstone v Motherwell

Stuart Kettlewell says the team have spent plenty time in the video room following their defeat last weekend against St Johnstone. He says the players have no egos and have accepted that they were not good enough in front of a healthy travelling crowd.  Offering updates on Liam Gordon and Harry Paton, the manager also speaks about the recent transfer speculation surrounding Lennon Miller, as well as commenting on recent VAR audio released by the SFA.

He may have only arrived a couple of weeks ago, but new signing Kai Andrews has played ample minutes and has been learning every week.  The 18-year-old wasn't expecting to take part in so many games this early on, but insists that it has been excellent for his development.

Having been knocked out the Scottish Cup on Saturday, Chief Executive Brian Caldwell thanks supporters for making the trip to Perth. In this interview, he discusses a range of topics including new signings, rejecting a bid for Lennon Miller and supporters buses.  He also talks about his relationship with the Well Society and dates for the upcoming club AGM.

Defender Kofi Balmer reflects on the successful cup run he had with his former club Ballymena United back in Northern Ireland. Balmer understands what a cup run can do for the momentum of your league campaign and hopes Motherwell can emulate their Premier Sports Cup run earlier in the season. The number five also talks about rotation within the team and what players need to do to be ready for action.

Manager Stuart Kettlewell provides a lengthy and detail update on players who are on the sidelines and he also reacts to the news that captain Paul McGinn will be missing for the rest of the season. Kettlewell touches on what a cup run can do for the club, and discusses the recruitment of new goalkeepers.

With Motherwell playing their seventh game in 21 days, the Steelmen travelled East to the capital to face an in-form Hibernian side.  The manager made six changes to cope with fatigue and injury and in the opening stages, the game lacked any real moment of quality. A misplaced pass from Andy Halliday was pounced upon by the hosts who opened the scoring through Martin Boyle. It was a quickfire double for the Hibees as pressure on the Motherwell backline paid off, with a second goal secured before the break. Stuart Kettlewell made changes that did make an impact with the Steelmen growing into the game. Callum Slattery made the most of a free kick on the edge of the box, neatly placing the ball into the bottom corner for his first goal in almost 500 days due to missing over a year of action. However, with the Hibs support and players seemingly on edge, the referee would point to the spot to aid their nervous energy after Stephen O'Donnell was adjudged to have held Miller in the area. Boyle converted down the middle to secure the points, meaning Motherwell returned to North Lanarkshire empty handed.
