Watt return 'not the answer' for United

BBC Scotland's chief sportswriter Tom English has been answering your questions on Dundee United.

Alexa asked: United will need to strengthen in the January window. They should bring Tony Watt back from his loan spell at Motherwell. A few United fans will disagree with me, however I think it's a no-brainer. He has served his time and would be a great option from the bench. What do you think?

Tom answered: I have to respectfully disagree. He's not scored all season. No goals in 12 games. So I'm not sure what the option is. He'd come in off the bench to do what? I don't know. I'm not a massive Tony Watt fan.

I am a growing fan of Sam Dalby, four goals in his last five games. I think he's got presence and physicality. He's confident, he's growing. You can see that.

They do need more up front. They do need more creativity. I think Jim Goodwin is a good manager and he's getting a big tune out of these guys. They don't score many, but they don't concede many.

Eighteen goals scored, 13 conceded. That's a very, very good start to the season for them.

I think if they have a few quid to spend they probably need to look at that end of the park. But I'm not sure Tony is the answer.
