dailyrecord.co.uk:

New Motherwell boss Michael Wimmer admitted it was tough making his dug-out debut after only a couple of training sessions with his players.The Steelmen suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at Dundee United yesterday, with Sam Dalby's first-half header inflicting a sixth straight defeat on the Fir Park side.Wimmer took the reins on Monday, replacing Stuart Kettlewell, and the former Austria Vienna boss admitted he will need time to fully implement his ideas.The German said: “I thought there were too many thoughts in the minds of the players.“We were too deep, there was no composure in possession.

Dundee United had more possession, so they got more confidence from that. We had two small chances on the counter-attack.“We spoke about the need to improve at half-time, to have more courage in possession.

It was better in the second-half, we created good chances and in my opinion perhaps we deserved a point.“We only had two training sessions before the game so we tried to bring little things and little ideas into the team.“I saw many positive things in the second-half we can work with.

Not everything was perfect or good but there were things I could see from the team.“We were aggressive, we won high balls, we played forward, we played with speed, we had crosses and this is how I want to see football.
