Will Dundee momentum falter in daunting double-header?
Head coach Steven Pressley will have learned a lot about his side in those moments. A never-give-up attitude will carry a team a long way and while it was far from Dundee's best performance in recent weeks, that trait was there in abundance as his team fought to the very end. There are different ways to win games and eke out draws and Pressley's team somehow found a way to do the latter when it looked to be mission impossible.
[BBC] I have previously highlighted Dundee's propensity to chuck away points from positions of strength. Last weekend they did the opposite - netting two goals in the last two minutes of added time to snatch a highly unlikely 2-2 draw with neighbours United. Head coach Steven Pressley will have learned a lot about his side in those moments.
A never-give-up attitude will carry a team a long way and while it was far from Dundee's best performance in recent weeks, that trait was there in abundance as his team fought to the very end. It also illustrated the steady improvement we have seen from the Dark Blues, particularly over the past few months. There are different ways to win games and eke out draws and Pressley's team somehow found a way to do the latter when it looked to be mission impossible.
In terms of the bigger picture, eighth-place Dundee are gathering impressive momentum. It is now just one defeat in their league games, with Pressley stressing the need to secure survival as quickly as possible to avoid any end-of-season jitters. Dundee will be hoping their momentum continues in a difficult double-header, away to leaders Hearts on Saturday then at home to Celtic the following week.
It's a tough assignment - but you wouldn't bet against Pressley's team continuing their upward trajectory. [BBC]
