Stuart Kettlewell vents over the worst EVER Motherwell performance as he bigs up Aberdeen FC

Frustrated Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell branded their performance against Aberdeen the 'worst' of his reign, as the Steelmen made it six games without a win.

The Fir Park side went down 4-2 to the Dons last night, with late goals from Theo Bair and Arsenal loanee Mike Biereth limiting the damage after the visitors led 4-0 through a Jamie McGrath double plus strikes from Nicky Devlin and Duk.

Kettlewell's side were joint-top of the Premiership at the start of September but their rotten run - which has yielded just one point from 18 available - leaves them ninth and four points off the bottom of the table, although three points off the top four.

And Kettlewell said Motherwell got what they deserved as the Dons dominated proceedings in North Lanarkshire.He said: “We played poorly and got everything we deserved. In terms of our discipline and decision-making, having a real soft centre, our organisation.

“I know there is always an intent to score, but what we did when I first came in, we started from the back end of the pitch and made sure we had a real stability, not just from the guys in the back line but the midfielders and forwards too.

“That’s not working just now – we have conceded seven goals in two home games. We are not rectifying situations when we lose the ball.

“There’s a chink in the armour at this minute and sometimes it can come from decision-making more than ability. That was a big aspect again – we have put ourselves into poor positions and made bad choices.

“There isn’t a magic wand to fix that side of it but we have to remain together. We are going through a bad spell – it was undoubtedly our worst game since I took charge in February.”
