Reynolds: Fresh worry about ICT
CAPTAIN Mark Reynolds believes a re-invigorated Dundee United side should have no concerns about Inverness as they aim to sew up the Championship title.
Reynolds insists United are not worrying about an ICT side who have closed the gap at the top to 16 points and have two games in hand as they enter the final round of fixtures against Partick Thistle at Tannadice tomorrow.
What was otherwise a good point as the Terrors played out a goalless draw at Ayr United on Tuesday night was soured slightly by the Caley Jags’ late 3-2 win over Morton.
However, defender Reynolds feels, with no more midweek games between now and the end of the season, the Tangerines have an advantage over their opponents with more hectic schedules.
Asked if he was disappointed to discover Inverness had won, the 32-year-old said: “Not really. It is what it is with them, they’re going to pick up results.
“We’re not at the stage where we’re worrying about Inverness yet. We just need to focus on our own business.
“We need to find those performances and results again.
“Every game is going to be tough and Inverness are going to push it all the way.
“They need to keep winning and hope we keep slipping up, but there’s nine games to go and we just need to look after our own business.
“We’re still only a few wins away from it so we just keep taking it one game at a time as our focus turns to Partick tomorrow.
“This league is tough. It’s difficult just now but the run we were on was unbelievable.
“To go those 13 games unbeaten was incredible and that’s what got us that cushion.
“Everybody is capable of beating each other and it’s never an easy night.
“We went down to Ayr and they’re a good side, pushing for second place. They’re having a good season, have good players and are playing some nice football.
“We knew it was going to be tough with Inverness winning but they’ll need to keep plugging away.”
Of their own dip in form since the turn of the year, Reynolds added: “It is frustrating but it’s a long season with injuries, change of personnel and teams are fighting for their lives.
