[BBC]

United fans, we asked for your opinions as Jim Goodwin's side lost 3-0 away to Kilmarnock. Here's a taste of what you had to say...

Jamie: Get Goodwin and all of our central defenders out before we become relegation contenders next season.

Ryan: Why change a team that won 3-0 the week before? The defence is bad enough without changes. Max Watters is hopeless as well.

Sean: Another game, another disastrous defensive and goalkeeping display. This against the 11th-placed in the league. We were under no pressure, could just go out and play. I really fear for next season and question whether Goodwin is the man to be in charge. He has had all season to work with these players and we have seen no improvement.

Anon: An absolute disgrace. What's the point? People pay good money and are rewarded with what?

Dave: Terrible pitch, yes. Three or four players having poor performances, yes. I can live with that, it happens. What I can't accept, though, is another three goals shipped by what is nothing short of abysmal defending.

Max Watters, Ross Graham and Sam Cleall-Harding all need to hang their heads in shame because they were at fault. The first two are supposed to be seasoned pros but have shown that they are average players at best.

One note of positivity though - plaudits to Dario Naamo who can take satisfaction from his performance. He was probably the steadiest of all the United players on show.

Keith: Goodwin said the younger players will learn a lesson from this defeat. It's a pity he doesn't learn a lesson. I would rather he wasn't in charge next season.

Anon: Saw it coming. All the talk during was about how Will Ferry was the greatest thing since sliced bread, Vicko Sevelj was getting a new contract and 'we knew what we did wrong and we will fix it during the summer'. No mention of there being four games still to play. Kudos to Killie - they wanted it more.

Lee: United are still losing the same daft goals in May as they did in September. The 'three-at-the-back' has ruined our season and unless Goodwin changes it next season will also be a disaster.

Trying to play through the midfield on that old carpet of a pitch never works. It's like a 12th man for Kilmarnock. If we're serious about improving football in this country, plastic pitches should be banned in the top league.

Q&A

Why are United fans worried about Jim Goodwin's future as manager?

Fans fear that under Goodwin's management, the team could face relegation next season after a disappointing loss.

What did fans say about the team's performance against Kilmarnock?

Who is Max Watters and why is he being criticized by fans?

Max Watters is a player on the team, and fans have labeled him as 'hopeless' following the recent poor performance.
