Goodwin on Utd's lack of Scots, 'good value' markets & Strassen
Jim Goodwin has been speaking to BBC Scotland before the second leg of Dundee United's Conference League qualifier away to UNA Strassen on are the key lines from the United boss:Goodwin says it will be "like a home game" for his side with over 1,000 United fans in attendance and adds: "We need to make sure that we put on a performance that justifies the level of travel and financial commitment these guys have made."Ryan Strain, Max Watters and Dario Naamo are struggling with contact injuries. Goodwin says: "It's very frustrating that we don't have all of our players available to us, but I do believe we've got enough within the squad."On fielding no Scots in his starting XI last week and signing 11 non-native players this summer: "I'd be lying if I said that the financials didn't play a part in it. We believe that there's really good value on the continent for players, but we're not dismissing the Scottish market. We have made offers to Scottish players over the course of the summer and unfortunately those players have chosen to either go to England or Europe, which is their right."The United boss adds: "If [captain] Ross Graham was fit he would have been playing. Owen Stirton came off the bench, he's one of the youngest homegrown players to play for Dundee United in Europe in about 20 years. Kai Fotheringham, Miller Thomson, they're all really good members of our squad that have come through the academy system. So I do think people are making a little bit too much of it. Other teams in the Premiership are doing similar business to ourselves."Goodwin felt anxiety crept into his players in the closing stages of the 1-0 first-leg win and has urged them to be "calmer" and "not slashing at things" and take more of their denies Strassen took United by surprise: "Technically and tactically, they're a very good outfit. So we're expecting another difficult game here."
