Dundee United 0-0 Livingston: What Goodwin said

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin: "The main positive that we'll take from the night is obviously that we've managed to secure that seventh place. We would have likened to have done it a couple of games ago, given how well we played against Dundee in the first game after the split.

"Everything was looking rosy and we looked like we were on a really good run but unfortunately we couldn't back up that performance against Kilmarnock and Aberdeen.

"But tonight, pleased to keep the clean sheet, albeit I think we made hard work of it at times. Rode our luck in the first half, Livingstone obviously hitting the post.

"Can't have too many arguments about the end result. The draw is probably fair, you know, either team could have just about shaded it but the positives for us are the clean sheet after our most recent two poor performances where we conceded lots of sloppy goals.

"We got some good valuable time into some of the younger players. Seventh place was the objective after the split. Of course, we're not going to celebrate that because it's not what we set out to achieve at the beginning of the season.

"It's way short of what we would expect but, we know what we need to do in the summer. We know the areas that we need to strengthen and hopefully we'll be more competitive for that top six next time around.

"We've done some good business up to now, you know, already. I think we're slightly ahead of the game with some of the pre-contracts that we've already managed to agree. We're talking to lots of other good, talented players.

"Those contract negotiations will be ongoing. We've got a few conversations that need to be had with the current squad, as well.

"Tonight will be the last game of Tannadice for a number of players in the squad and, I suppose that's the disappointment, really, that we weren't able to give our supporters a little bit more to cheer about."
