If it was goals you were after then Motherwell games were the place to be last season - but it wasn't all right for Kettlewell.
Stuart Kettlewell takes quiet satisfaction from Motherwell finishing as the Premiership’s top scorers outside the Old Firm last season. But the Fir Park boss also knows it counts for nothing if his side are chucking them in at the other end.
“We’ve spent a lot of time trying to rectify that and make sure when we are dominating games that counter attacks don’t hurt us, set plays don’t hurt us. Anyone with a keen eye will see a number of times we have changed our set-up from set-plays to try to find a solution where it’s not an issue. “The vision for me is getting a settled backline to try and give us a bit of a foundation. Then from there it’s a balancing act to make sure we don’t concede but that we score enough as well. I’ve seen us going all out to stop conceding goals and then we don’t carry a threat and vice versa.”
