"Image source, SNS Motherwell are going places under manager Jens Berthel Askou and will only hope he isn't. The Dane has been an unmitigated success so far. Those, early in his tenure, who may have scoffed at his commitment to a high-risk style are scoffing no more. The approach is working. Home fans are loving what they are seeing. There's a togetherness and connection that had been badly lacking previously. Fir Park is a happy place to be."
""It's something we've been working on since day one," the Dane explained. "It's not just attack, attack, attack, we want to be a well-balanced team. It's very difficult to create that in a short period of time, but I think now we've found some details and really worked on them. "We are still reaching for a higher level, because I think there's more in us than what we see right now.""
Motherwell, led by Jens Berthel Askou, have adopted a high-risk, proactive style that has produced strong results and cohesion. Home fans have responded positively and Fir Park has regained a happy atmosphere. A 3-0 win over Livingston extended an unbeaten league run to eight matches and placed the side comfortably within the top six. Defensive improvement has produced four consecutive clean sheets and only two goals conceded in the last six matches, creating a platform for more wins. Since the Premier Sports Cup semi-final loss to St Mirren the team is unbeaten, taking twelve points from their last eighteen.
