'This needs to be a turning point' - Fan views on win over Falkirk

[BBC]

We asked you Dundee United fans for your views after the 3-2 victory over Falkirk. Here's a taste of what you had to say...

Kenny: Much more like it. Another brilliant goalkeeping display and two full-backs who ran their socks off. Craig Sibbald's strike was fantastic and it was great to see Julius Eskesen's reaction to his goal. Let's have more of the the same in the Cup.

Dave: We did get a bit luck with Zac Sapsford's push in the box - it looked like a penalty to me. However, we've stopped the rot - for now. Fingers crossed the injuries to Kristijan Trapanowski and Luca Stephenson are not bad ones.

Steve: Jim Goodwin said we 'can't keep relying on having to score two or three goals every week to win games of football'. When is he going to realise the reason we have to keep coming from behind is because we can't defend playing the system that we do?

George: Much needed win at the right time. Need now to win comfortably against Spartans to boost the confidence for the remaining games before the split. Let's turn this part of the season into a fantastic run into the top six and then European qualification.

Gary: Not a great performance, but against a team flying high and, in the form we've been in, I'll take an ugly win all day! But we need to back it up. Goodwin keeps talking top six, but looking at the fixtures and doing the maths, that's pie in the sky even if we were playing well. I'll take solidifying our form, and a decent Cup run.

Alan: The manager again has been unhappy with the goals we conceded. He has to scrap playing this back three once and for all, and revert to a back four. It is also time that Sam Cleall-Harding is given a run in the team.

Ross: A better performance against a team who, like us, are better at going forward than defending. This was apparent (yet again) as United conceded two sloppy and defendable goals.

However, a great fightback which will surely/hopefully/mibeez aye/mibeez no (delete as appropriate) breed confidence going into the plethora of games in the next few weeks. Great to see Eskesen get on the score sheet.

Ally: Similar theme with the goals conceded, but on this occasion can't fault the character responding to setbacks. Plenty about this team in attacking areas when we go for it, but we'll remain inconsistent at best unless we can plug the defence. This needs to be a turning point.
