In the wake of a fourth consecutive draw in the Scottish Premiership, Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou has been quick to commend his team's dominant performances, yet he can't help but lament the points that have slipped through their fingers. Under the guidance of their Danish manager, Motherwell has emerged as one of the season's most compelling narratives, thanks to their bold and fluid style of play. However, their inability to secure a win, highlighted by goalkeeper Calum Ward's error that allowed Kilmarnock to snatch a point, is a growing concern.

Recent matches have seen Motherwell squander leads and make costly mistakes. A three-goal advantage was lost at Tynecastle, with Ward's performance under scrutiny for two of Hearts' goals. Earlier, captain Paul McGinn's errant pass led to a Rangers corner that resulted in a goal. These individual errors are threatening to define Motherwell's season, despite their evident quality on the pitch.

Askou's tenure has been marked by impressive statistics. Motherwell has enjoyed significant possession in their matches, with 73% against Kilmarnock and 66% at St Mirren. Their expected goals rating of 2.13 against Rangers, along with creating the third most big chances in the Premiership, underscores their attacking prowess. Yet, the question remains: how can they convert this dominance into victories?

The goalkeeping situation is a particular area of concern. Ward's shot-stopping abilities are undeniable, but his recent errors have led to calls for a change. Askou has the option of Aston Oxborough, but the transfer window presents an opportunity to bring in a new keeper who can combine the best attributes of both Ward and Oxborough.

As the transfer window approaches its deadline, Askou hinted at potential new signings to bolster the squad. 'There's been a lot of change, now it's the final pieces,' he said. 'We'll see if there's one or two new faces, or maybe we'll sharpen up the squad a little bit the other way as well.'

Motherwell's fans are witnessing a team transformation that is both exciting and frustrating. The early signs are promising, but the need to address individual errors is crucial if they are to fulfill their potential this season.
