Dundee United fans selling out their allocation at St Johnstone in just one hour shows what an impact Jim Goodwin has made at Tannadice.

Give supporters a bit of positivity and it’s amazing how quickly things escalate and they are right behind the team.

It’s been a tough season and fans have had every reason to be unhappy.

But there’s a spark back at United now and hopefully that continues at McDiarmid Park this weekend.

It’s going to be a tough one for Goodwin and his men but it is a game I expect them to go into with confidence and looking for another win.

Momentum

I just hope the gap in the schedule hasn’t stalled their momentum.

Goodwin has been fortunate at times in his short tenure where early on he got a couple of gaps between games and could put some important work in.

I think this last stoppage came at the wrong time, however.

And at the right time for St Johnstone.

For exactly the same reasons as Goodwin, Steven MacLean has had a wee bit of time to get his ideas across, change things a little.

It is a huge game for both sides.

Three points would go a long, long way to securing survival for United.

With a big crowd at McDiarmid, too, it promises to be a cracker.
