It was everything that a Motherwell fan could’ve wished for on Wimmers’ home debut, a fresh tactical style and a first win in seven that will give hope to supporters.

After promising “proactive football”, the well fans were encouraged to see the team play through the thirds with a fast-paced, creative build-up play that caused plenty of problems for the already struggling Dundee defence.

You could see the style that Wimmer demands from his players already being implemented on the park. Off the ball, his team marked well, with a press that did not allow Dundee to play through the thirds. By marking both full-backs from goal kicks it forced the keeper to play to his centre-backs. As a result of this, the defenders then resorted to going long frequently, which allowed both Liam Gordon and Dan Casey to win headers and start a new phase of play for Motherwell.

On the ball, his team were direct and looked to utilise the midfield players before spreading the play wide. They kept the ball on the ground and caused havoc for the Dundee defence.

The only time Motherwell struggled was in the stages leading up to Dundees’ goal; they seemed to sit back and invite play onto them, resulting in Dundee grabbing a goal back through Simon Murray.

Almost instantly after conceding, the Motherwell team were back to the standard that they had shown in the first half and were rewarded with a match-winning goal through Dan Casey once again.

You can see that the players are ready to adapt to their new managers’ style, and after some time to integrate what Wimmer wants, the team could be in contention for a top-six position in what is already a competitive league.
