Motherwell striker targets three wins in a week as he aims for goals aspiration

Conor Wilkinson has targeted wins in Motherwell’s next three games, as they bid to climb the Premiership table.

Stuart Kettlewell’s side host Aberdeen at Fir Park on Wednesday, travel to Kilmarnock on Saturday and are back on the road to Perth the following Tuesday where they visit St Johnstone.

“We might have been a bit sloppy at times, but we’ve got next week to work on that on the training ground, and hopefully we can right our wrongs and get forward.”

Goals from Eamonn Brophy and Simon Murray had County 2-0 up and seemingly cruising before first Mika Biereth and Wilkinson climbed off the bench.

Wilkinson hopes that gives them a real lift.

He said: “It’s a good point. I felt like we came into the game on high spirits, but we needed a win, probably more than them.

“We’ve had four sticky results that haven’t gone our way, so three points would
