With no midweek fixture, Dundee’s next cup outing on Saturday is an awkward looking trip to League 1 Alloa Athletic, who have won both of their opening games.
Pressley is nearing 350 games in the dugout but Dundee is his first managerial post in about six years.
Asked if the job he as taken on is bigger than he first thought, he replied: “It was what I expected but I think also that I am well aware we are nowhere near where we want to be.
“You have got to understand the learnings are not just from the players, the learning’s for me.
“You have some preconceived ideas around the job – how you want the team to function and play. Then you work closely with the players and you start to see their attributes, their qualities, their deficiencies. My job is to be adaptable to that.
“The weekend was a great learning – not the result, far from it but the stress testing and the things that it brought to my attention were brilliant. It has allowed us to one, focus on certain things on the grass that need improving, and two, make adjustments to the quality of player that we have.”
