Dundee players 'very positive' about Pressley, says Shaughnessy
Joe Shaughnessy insists his former Dundee team-mates are "very positive" about working under Steven Pressley, despite the head coach's difficult start at Dens Park. Saturday's League Cup group defeat at Alloa was a second straight loss to lower-league opposition. Many fans were against the appointment of Pressley, who is now facing added pressure from the support after a challenging start to his reign. But centre-back Shaughnessy, who left Dens this summer to sign for Newcastle Jets in Australia, says the Dundee boss is making a good impression on the squad. "I've spoken to a few of the players and they are very positive about it all," the 33-year-old told BBC Sportsound. "They're enjoying working with him. He's trying to get his idea across. When I talk to Simon Murray and some of the other lads, they enjoy the training and they are being worked hard. "The fans jumped on him saying he's not going to win titles or whatever, but the players are enjoying what he's come in and started doing. "They are onside and trying to build towards something. Hopefully it happens sooner rather than later." Shaughnessy added that any talk of sacking Pressley based on the League Cup group results is "very harsh".
