Goodwin on United’s start, canny recruitment & no league surprises

Must read

Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media before Dundee United’s Premiership game with Ross County this weekend.

Here are the key lines from the United boss:

  • With his side fourth in the table, just three points behind Rangers, Goodwin says they are not getting carried away and “can still improve”.

  • Asked if he is surprised by United’s start on their top-flight return, Goodwin says he had “great confidence” in their summer recruitment and is impressed with how quickly the new-look squad has gelled.

  • The United boss also points out that “if you drop the standards by just a couple of percent then things can change dramatically” and highlighted the never-say-die culture he has been trying to create at the club.

  • Goodwin says “the league hasn’t surprised us in any way” but does note they have yet to play Celtic.

  • Kristijan Trapanovski misses out after injuring his hamstring against Hibs last Sunday.

  • On the challenge posed by County, Goodwin is expecting a tough game against a side he believes “has slipped under the radar” this season.
