Simon Murray Poised for Resurgence at Dundee
Simon Murray is on the brink of revitalizing his season with Dundee as he aims to score his first league goal in three months. Dundee is scheduled to face Motherwell this Saturday, a match crucial for both the team and Murray.
Current Situation for Simon Murray
As the Dundee captain, Murray has struggled this season. He has only scored once in the league, during a 3-2 victory against Livingston in September. The remaining two goals came from a League Cup win over Montrose. With Dundee’s record showing only one victory in their last eight matches, the team desperately needs Murray to rediscover his goal-scoring form, one that saw him net 22 goals last season.
Head Coach’s Confidence in Murray
Dundee’s head coach, Steven Pressley, expressed assurance in Murray’s abilities. He noted, “Sometimes with strikers it’s a little bit like buses; you score the first, and then many follow.” Pressley acknowledged that the forward is in search of confidence, which often comes from making hits on the scoreboard.
“He just needs to keep working hard, and he is doing that right now. I’m confident it’ll turn for him,” added Pressley. Murray’s determination could be the key to revitalizing not only his form but also that of his team.
Challenges Against Motherwell
Dundee is set to face a formidable opponent in Motherwell, who have been performing exceptionally well this season. Currently on a nine-game unbeaten run in the Premiership, they will present significant challenges for Dundee.
Motherwell’s Performance
- Motherwell is recognized for being a progressive team.
- They have dominated possession in most of their matches.
- The upcoming game promises to be a tough test for Dundee.
Pressley emphasized that this match is one they must embrace and look forward to, underscoring the importance of Murray’s potential resurgence in front of goal.
