Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media before Dundee United’s trip to face Hearts on Sunday.
Here are the key lines from his press conference:
-
United head to the capital in “good spirits after a really good result and performance up in Dingwall” that has all but secured a top-six place.
-
The 1-0 win against Ross County was “really important” after the derby defeat to Dundee and Goodwin says his side were able to “iron out some of those issues”.
-
On the task at Tynecastle: “It’s going to be a very tight one between two good teams, it’s probably more of a must-win fixture for Hearts.”
-
Goodwin is hoping for a repeat after United won 1-0 on their previous visit to Hearts this season. He adds: “Tynecastle is one of the best away days in the league, the atmosphere tends to be good, it can be a very hostile venue in terms of the supporters.”
-
Goodwin praises his squad and says they’ve put themselves “in a really strong position” before the split.
-
He hails captain Ross Docherty – who is out of contract this summer – for the “influence he has on the team” but says the midfielder’s injury history has been a “major disappointment”.
