Dundee United is facing a crisis after failing to score in three consecutive games, conceding 10 goals in the process, including a loss to Dundee at Tannadice. Jim Goodwin, the Dundee United boss, has responded to the crisis claims, saying "It's not a crisis, as far as I'm concerned".
What's behind the slump?
The team's recent form has been disappointing, with players like Lachie Rose and Zac Sapsford, who scored a handful of goals and 11 goals respectively last season, unable to find the back of the net. Emmanuel Agyei's absence in the Dundee defeat was also felt.
Impact on the team
The lack of goals has put pressure on the team, with fans and pundits alike questioning Goodwin's tactics. However, the boss remains confident, saying "Everybody is very quick to jump on the bandwagon".
Upcoming fixtures
Dundee United will look to bounce back against Kilmarnock this weekend, and their current league standing of 2nd in Premiership, with 6 points from 3 games, will be put to the test. The team has scored 4 goals and conceded only 1 this season, but their recent form will be a concern. You can check the team's upcoming fixtures on our fixtures page.
Player performance
Zac Sapsford's debut season in Scotland was impressive, with 11 goals scored, but the team's current slump will require all players to step up. Lachie Rose's goals last season will be crucial in the upcoming games. The team's stats can be found on our stats page.
Looking ahead
As Dundee United prepares to face Hibernian on August 30, their next fixture, the team will need to regroup and find their scoring form. With their current standing in the Premiership and a goal difference of +3, the team has a good foundation to build on. You can check the current squad on our squad page.
