Dundee United’s Manager Comments on 2-0 Victory Over St Mirren

Jim Goodwin, manager of Dundee United, expressed his satisfaction, stating, “We’re really pleased to win the game, obviously, another important three points, clean sheet and yeah, really, really good victory against a very difficult opponent.” He characterized the match overall as “quite a scrappy game,” acknowledging St Mirren’s predictable defensive challenge: “You know what you’re going to get with St Mirren, they’re going to ask questions of you defensively. They look to try and get the ball in your box at every opportunity.” Goodwin praised his team’s defensive performance, remarking, “And I thought defensively, the guys at the back, along with Jack Walton, were outstanding.” He admitted that neither side played exceptionally, adding, “We didn’t play particularly well. I don’t think either team played particularly well, but it was it was just about grinding out the result, about finding a way to win the game and I’m delighted that we were able to do that.” He also recounted key moments, noting, “Sam Dalby has a great chance one on one. With the form he’s in, you would back him to score. Obviously, Will Ferry probably with, in terms of our only good bit of real quality in the first half, that led to Ferry’s chance where he crashes the post.” Goodwin reiterated the hard-fought nature of the victory, stating, “As I said, we ground out the result and that’s a good St Mirren side who have been on a good run of form.” Despite their strong league position, he downplayed its significance, commenting, “Of course, we’re delighted where we’re sitting on the table but as I said to you numerous times this year already, I don’t really take much notice of it. You know, we’re still in November.” The program features Sandi Toksvig alongside Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
