ELIJAH JUST is more interested in Motherwell being winners than the great entertainers.

- BY SCOTT BURNS

The Steelmen have won plaudits for their passing style of play this season under Danish manager Jens Berthel Askou.

They dominate the possession statistics in most games but haven't quite found a way to turn that into points, with just three wins in their 11 Premiership games this term.

Just, whose goal earned a point in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Aberdeen, said: "The reason we want to play how we do is not because we want to be the most entertaining team or have the most possession.

"It's because we want to win games.

"With the squad we have, we believe the way we're playing is the most effective way to get results.

"We are controlling games well, building up well but the most important thing to do in football is score goals. "At the moment we're not creating enough with the amount of possession we have and that's something we're working on.
