Sutton: Well have proved doubters wrong
Motherwell striker John Sutton always believed they could finish the season on a high despite being written off in some quarters following Craig Brown`s departure to Aberdeen.
Stuart McCall took charge after Motherwell`s promising early-season form had dipped to see them take just one Clydesdale Bank Premier League point from a possible 15.
McCall soon lost top goalscorer Nick Blackman, Alan Gow, Mark Reynolds and Marc Fitzpatrick from his already small squad.
But he eventually added Gavin Gunning and Francis Jeffers to his squad and Motherwell have since picked up some impressive results, including victories over Celtic and in-form Dundee United, twice.
A draw at Tynecastle sealed Motherwell`s top-six place last weekend and they are 90 minutes away from their first Scottish Cup final in 20 years with St Johnstone standing in their way at Hampden on Saturday.
"We have always done better when people have written us off," Sutton said. "A lot of managers come and go and every time people say `this is Motherwell on their way out`. But we always seem to prove the doubters wrong and hopefully we can finish off nicely this season."
