Dundee Head Coach Steven Pressley<\/p>\nDundee head to Motherwell looking for invaluable points this weekend.Dundee Head Coach Steven Pressley<\/p>\n
Steven Pressley reckons Motherwell are up there with Hearts<\/a> as the shining lights of this season\u2019s Premiership.<\/p>\n Dundee managed to get a home draw against the Steelmen last time out.<\/p>\n Now they will travel to Fir Park looking to repeat that or even go one better against Jens Berthel Askou.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that they’ve been the real shining light alongside Hearts,\u201d Pressley insisted.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve been excellent. They play in a really progressive way and have a real attacking threat.<\/p>\n \u201cI like them a lot. Jens Berthel Askou has done a good job there.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s going to be really tough down there, but I think we’ve got players that can give teams problems.\u201d<\/p>\n Motherwell are a team who like to dominate but Pressley reckons his players can counter that.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will have to be better with the ball,\u201d the Dundee head coach confirmed.<\/p>\n \u201cThey’re a team that wants to dominate the ball, so we’ve got to be equally as good against the ball.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I look back at the game from Dens, a big difference was the way we were against the ball in both halves.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were much better in the second half. So we have to do that. We have to be aggressive against the ball.<\/p>\n \u201cAgain, we’ve demonstrated on our day that we can surprise people. We’re going to have to do that this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n Dundee have struggled for goals but in recent weeks have started to create and are now putting the finishing touches to things. The only issue was that they also blew a two goal lead at Livingston last time out and had to settle for a draw.<\/p>\n Pressley confirmed: \u201cI think that’s maybe seven goal involvements for Cam (Congreve), which is a terrific return.<\/p>\n \u201cYan (Dhanda) has started to really find the groove, and a really sublime finish from him and Tony Yogane, an assist.<\/p>\n \u201cSo there were a lot of positives in that.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need greater goal contributions from a number of players and that was a really pleasing factor, the fact that we managed to get that.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd again, going away from home, scoring the two goals is another positive. We’ve not done that on too many occasions.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, when you’re 2-0 up, you want to win the game.<\/p>\n \u201cBut equally, we didn’t lose the game. In the Premiership, if you go away from home and you get a point, it’s not always a bad point.<\/p>\n \u201cBut from the position we’re in, I think that that’s the disappointing aspect.<\/p>\n \u201cThat when you’re 2-0 up, you’re just not going to want to win the game.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we need to take the really good things in the first half into the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n In other news Dundee boss Pressley has already confirmed a January departure.<\/a><\/p>\n Follow Record Sport on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n Tune in to Hotline Live<\/a> every Sunday to Thursday and have your say on the biggest issues in Scottish football and listen to Record Sport’s newest podcast, Game On<\/a>, every Friday for your sporting fix, all in bitesize chunks.<\/p>\n
