Jim Goodwin is adamant Ryan Edwards still has a big part to play in Dundee United’s survival bid.
The Terrors boss dropped the skipper for last week’s 1-1 draw at Livingston, a result that snapped a seven-game losing streak for the league’s bottom side. Goodwin had a heart-to-heart with the big defender, who admitted his performances hadn’t been up to scratch. The manager said: “Yes, he was very understanding. Ryan himself would admit he’s had a difficult period.
“You could suggest, prior to me coming in, there are a few others in the group also who haven’t performed to the level they’re capable of. Unfortunately Ryan is just a little bit low on confidence. He’s an honest big fella, he recognises his performances individually need to be better and he agreed with the decision. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the most experienced player in the group, the youngest, the top goalscorer, or the club captain, everybody is accountable for their own individual performances.
