Craig Wighton stole the show with a fantastic performance against Motherwell on Saturday. The young striker had a huge hand in both goals in the 2-0 win. Manager Paul Hartley praised the performance saying, “I felt he was a real handful for Motherwell today. We worked on it during the week, getting him into good positions, I thought he had a terrific game, along with Haber, the two of them worked really well together, that was pleasing. I thought as a team we defended as a team and attacked as a team.”
Marcus Haber is off on international duty this week as his Canada team play in Korea, he signed off with his first goal for the club, the manager can already see the difference the new signing has made, saying, “Marcus has definitely made a difference in terms of the ball coming up to him and sticking. People can make runs and movement off him. He’s a handful but he has good feet, when it comes into him he takes it, pleased for him to get his goal also.”
The opening goal came from Cammy Kerr, who netted his first competitive goal for the club, Paul also had praise for the right back, “He had a great game again today and continued from last week. He has a fantastic attitude, he’s learning all the time, he has a couple of things he needs to improve on but we saw with the goal, he kept going. I’m pleased for him but for the team also. It’s another good result and a home result also, our first home win of the season, that’s the pleasing aspect.”
“There is no doubt we were the team on top and in the ascendancy. There was only one team that looked like they were going to win the team. I thought we were comfortable the way we handled things.”
The win saw Dundee head into the international break on the back of two wins, but the manager insisted the work with continued, “We are going to continue to work hard, that will be the key thing for us, keep working hard. We’ve not done anything yet. We have had another good result, another clean sheet, we’ve got to keep working hard.”
