Jim Goodwin his Dundee United players to prepare for his drop zone if they don’t hit the heights in their relegation fight.
The Tannadice boss left skipper Ryan Edwards out of his line-up that banked a point at Livingston to leave them three adrift in bottom spot. And the Irishman insists no player should take anything for granted in the weeks ahead with his captain an example of having to earn the right to a place in his side. Goodwin said: “Ryan is the club captain and he showed a really good reaction to coming out of the team.
"I told him on Tuesday morning and he trained really well after that. His reaction was positive. He’s a very honest big fella. He understands that his own performances individually haven’t quite been where they need to be at. It’s really important for me that the group knows it doesn’t matter whether you’re one of the most experienced players in the team, the captain, or one of the younger ones. If the performances are not at the level required then you risk having to come out of the team.”
