Dundee United Manager Jim Goodwin Comments on 3-0 Victory Against Ross County

Following Dundee United’s 3-0 win over Ross County, manager Jim Goodwin conveyed to BBC Scotland his satisfaction with the team’s display, stating: “We’re really pleased with the overall performance. We started the game really slow, Ross County had us penned back in but we grew into the game.” Goodwin further elaborated on the team’s progression, noting: “We built on that in the second half, and the second-half performance was a really dominant one. The majority was played in the Ross County half, played good football, moved it about well, good tempo. We got numerous deliveries into the box and we scored three really good goals.” He characterized the match as: “It’s our most complete performance of the season so far and we certainly didn’t underestimate Ross County coming into this game.” Despite the strong showing, Goodwin cautioned against complacency, stating: “We’ve got hopes and dreams like every other team, but there’s far too long to go in the season for us to get carried away. That’s the message to the players. It was a brilliant performance for 85 minutes but we won’t allow ourselves to get caught up in top six talk.” Addressing the performance of Owen Stirton, the manager remarked: “He’s been in and around the first team since he’s come in full time. He’s only 17, come through the Baldragon Academy, been part of the club since he was 10 or 11 years old. The fans really enjoyed it, and it’s a proud moment for Owen and his family to score on his Premiership debut. It’s ‘Roy of the Rovers’ type stuff and I’m delighted for him. He deserves the opportunity. It’s easy to chuck him on when we’re 2-0 up and comfortable but I believed he would get a chance.”
