Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou challenged his side to score more goals following their 1-0 William Hill Premiership win over Dundee.
Callum Slattery scored the winner after 81 minutes as the hosts extended their unbeaten league run to 10 games.
The midfielder’s header from Elliot Watt’s cross was Motherwell’s 26th goal in 18 league games this season, while they have now kept six clean sheets in a row.
Askou said: “I think it was deserved.
“We’re in a good place and in a place where we are able to continually produce good, solid, controlled performances where we’re really hard to beat, hard to score against.
“We’ve scored 26 goals, which not many in the league have done better than, but we know there are more goals in this team and we’re trying our best every day to see if we can find them.
“We had the ball in many good positions throughout the game but also gave the ball away, because we didn’t find the technical, individual level in all the moments, plus Dundee did their best to try and make it hard for us to create open chances.
“You can sense the frustration in the stands. They were trying to get excited, they could see a team that was dominating and creating, not big chances, but we had a lot of final-third attacks that were almost there.
“It’s about brushing that off, staying focused and knowing that what will help us get that goal is the positive mindset, the good body language, the applause from a team-mate when someone is trying but not succeeding.
“Elliot Watt is a good example of that, making a ton of mistakes in the first half and then he just goes out in the second half, drives the game and he is positive in everything he does, is able to lift the team and that’s what we need.”
Dundee manager Steven Pressley had no complaints about the defeat and said: “The team that won deserved to win. Motherwell deserved to win over the course of the game.
“We started the game very aggressively. In the first 20 minutes I thought we acquitted ourselves well and then we lost our way a little bit.
“We stopped passing in the way we had and I think that has been a little bit of a story of the game for ourselves, but we certainly didn’t lack endeavour, work rate or desire to work for each other and for the team.
“We just lacked a little bit of the quality and composure at key moments.”
