Two wins could do for Dee - Pressley
TL;DR
Dundee's head coach Steven Pressley believes that two more wins will secure their place in the league, as they currently sit ninth with 33 points, five points ahead of Kilmarnock. The team is preparing for an upcoming city derby against United.
Dundee twice came from behind to peg back Kilmarnock and a similarly resilient approach is sure to serve them well for their run-in, according to Steven Pressley.
The Dark Blues head coach has calculated that two victories will be more than sufficient.
Dundee are in ninth place on 33 points, five ahead of Kilmarnock, and tackle a city derby with United next.
Pressley said: "If you look at history of previous seasons, 38 points would be a realistic amount to keep you in the league. That might not be the case this time. But we are five points away from that so that indicates we probably need a couple of wins.
"I felt that was a good point from a game where we didn't perform to the levels I know we can. We showed another side to our game that really pleased me. We went behind to an early goal and then responded, then went behind to a second and responded again.
"I think to show that level of character and personality is important. That was a resilience – and there's no doubt, in the coming five games, there's going to be a lot of that needed."
