Blair Spittal says wins in the run-in to the World Cup break would give everybody at Motherwell a lift, and provide momentum for the next chunk of the season.
The Premiership takes a break from November 12 until December 17 for the World Cup in Qatar, and midfield ace Spittal would like his side to build up a head of steam before then.
Motherwell travel to Dundee United this afternoon to end a tough October that has seen them lose twice to Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final and league, with Premiership defeats against Hibs, Rangers and Aberdeen, with a solitary win against Ross County tucked in there.
