Dundee United 2-0 St Johnstone: Analysis

Similar to last week's win over St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup - this was not the most glamorous win of Jim Goodwin's United career.

The first-half, in particular, was a hard watch. There was one solitary shot - a Trapanovski volley that flew over the bar.

Although some of the manager's additions have gelled quickly, there is a lack of creativity at the top end and they were effectively handed their two goals today.

Indeed, Goodwin still cut a frosty figure on the touchline when the first goal went in. He was a bit happier at the second.

By that point, they had a bit more confidence about them. Trapanovski had been hooked for Louis Moult, and they immediately showed more threat with two strikers on the pitch.
