Kettlewell watches his side lose 4-1 at Dundee in midweek
Stuart Kettlewell says fan anger at Motherwell's recent poor form is a "learning curve" for his side but admits criticism of his own performance is "part of the game".
The Steelmen, who visit St Mirren on Saturday, are on a run of three successive defeats and and have lost six of their last eight in all competitions.
Manager Kettlewell has called on supporters to stick with the side as the fans' backing can boost confidence among the squad.
He said: "It's blue-sky thinking that everybody supports us through thick or thin and good results, bad results and everybody's always happy but we all know that's not the reality of football, I'll always take accountability for the bad results.
"But the way I look at it is, the more support and the more backing you get, the more confidence the players get without question. Take me out of the equation, take the staff out of the equation, but the more confidence the players get.
"That's all made easier with support, but how do I sit here for a second and tell somebody how they should react when they've travelled up to Dundee and they've watched their team lose or they've travelled to Dingwall?
"People are entitled to their opinions and football supporters are always going to have their opinions.
"That seems incredibly strong just now, that starts to become a bit abusive and it starts to become a bit personal in football in general… that's a part of the game. If you can't handle that, if you can't take it, I'll always say that I feel you're in the wrong industry.
"There's always an understanding that if there's a backing, if there's a real support, in particular the players, especially some of the young guys that we've got in the squad, then I always believe that you'll get more out of them, I believe they will show a really good reaction.
"But listen, sometimes that's part of the learning curve to walk off at Dens and walk by unhappy supporters for young players and they have to learn through that experience as well."
