[…] Despite Montrose losing their opening match 5-0 at home to Hamilton last weekend, Kettlewell always thought they would be defensively tougher to break down than that scoreline suggested. He said: "We thought that was going to be the case, off the back of them conceding five was a bit of false economy. They have started the season well and I spoke to Stewart Petrie before the game, they are always going to be stubborn and that was an anomaly. We expected the game it was and they would make life difficult. They carried a threat from set plays and that is how the game panned out. We had so many chances to win it, but I loved the mentality from the players. We took a blow at half time to concede a poor goal. We took the blow from missing chances, but we stuck at it and deservedly won the game. It is a big three points and didn’t want to disappoint by coming away from here with a draw or losing." Stuart Kettlewell would have liked to see his team take more of their opportunities, but said claiming all three points was the most important thing.
