⚽ “Feels Like a Defeat – We Were So Close” ⚽

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin reacts to his side’s 2-2 draw against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, expressing disappointment after conceding a late equalizer in stoppage time. While acknowledging Aberdeen’s strong second half, Goodwin praised his players’ defensive resilience but admitted that the team ultimately ran out of energy in the closing stages.

🔥 MATCH RECAP:
Dundee United looked set for a massive victory, leading 2-0 at halftime after two well-worked set-piece goals. However, Aberdeen mounted a late comeback, with a 91st-minute equalizer crushing what would have been an important three points. Goodwin highlighted the impact of Aberdeen’s substitutions and Dundee United’s squad depth issues, with key injuries affecting their ability to see the game out.

🎙 KEY TALKING POINTS FROM JIM GOODWIN’S PRESS CONFERENCE:

👉 “We Defended So Well Until the 91st Minute” – The manager praises the centre-backs’ performance but acknowledges one lapse at the back post cost them.

👉 “Squad Depth a Concern” – With players like Will Ferry, Ross Docherty, and Louis Moult missing, United struggled in the final 20 minutes, running out of energy and options.

👉 “Aberdeen’s Quality off the Bench Made a Difference” – Goodwin credits Jimmy Thelin’s halftime substitutions, which added pace, creativity, and attacking intent.

👉 “First-Half Game Plan Worked Perfectly” – Dundee United’s high pressing and quick counterattacks put them in a strong position, leading to two set-piece goals from Glenn Middleton’s deliveries.

👉 “We Identified Aberdeen’s Weakness at the Back Post” – Goodwin reveals they targeted Aberdeen’s defensive setup at corners and free-kicks, successfully scoring from two planned routines.

👉 “Three Games in a Week Took Its Toll” – The manager emphasizes that playing three matches in seven days affected his thin squad, particularly in the second half.

👉 “Feels Like a Defeat” – While a point away from home is usually positive, conceding so late makes it a bitter pill to swallow.

👉 “Delighted With Vicko’s Impact” – The defender has been one of Dundee United’s standout players, showing consistency and leadership despite his first season at this level.
