Just In: Dundee United Manager Urges Players to……………………..
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has issued a rallying cry to his players, urging them to put last season’s disappointment in the Premier Sports Cup behind them and focus on making a fresh start. The Terrors’ quarterfinal exit to Kilmarnock was marked by controversy and tension, but Goodwin is determined to draw a line under the episode and instill a more positive mindset within the squad.
Goodwin, who took the reins at Tannadice in the summer, has identified the need for his team to develop a stronger mentality and move on from last season’s setbacks. He believes that dwelling on past failures will only hinder their progress and is keen to instill a more constructive approach within the squad.
“We can’t change what happened last season, but we can learn from it,” Goodwin said. “We need to focus on the present and look to the future with positivity and optimism. I want my players to embrace the challenges ahead and not let the negativity of the past hold them back.”
Goodwin’s message is clear: he wants his team to move forward, to focus on the tasks at hand, and to avoid getting bogged down by past disappointments. It’s a philosophy that he hopes will serve them well in their upcoming matches and help them make a stronger impact in the Premier Sports Cup this season.
The Terrors’ opening match in the Premier Sports Cup is scheduled for Saturday, July 20, against Ayr United, with the game set to be broadcast live on Premier Sports. Goodwin will be looking for a positive response from his players, and a win over Ayr United would be the perfect way to kick off their campaign.
“We’re excited to get started in the Premier Sports Cup,” Goodwin added. “Ayr United will be a tough opponent, but we’re confident in our abilities and are looking forward to the challenge. We want to make a strong start to the competition and build momentum from there.”
With Goodwin at the helm, Dundee United are looking to put last season’s disappointment behind them and make a fresh start. The manager’s positive approach and emphasis on mental toughness are already having an impact on the squad, and fans will be hoping to see a more resilient and determined team take to the field against Ayr United.
As the Terrors prepare to kick off their Premier Sports Cup campaign, Goodwin’s message is clear: it’s time to move on from last season’s disappointment and focus on the challenges ahead. With a positive mindset and a strong team ethic, Dundee United are ready to take on whatever the season throws their way.
