Felt the best performance we've had at home in years, just dominated after the first goal. County had a spell in the second half where they controlled possession but didn't go anywhere with it, and then had a few chances late on, but it's really hard to figure out exactly what their plan is. Hoofing balls to Kerr and Anderson is just stupid. 

 

No weak links at all, was interesting to see the signals between Anderson and TW late on though, Ando pointing at Tanser and TW simply shrugging back at him, feel like the players also get frustrated at his shitebaggery

Much, much, much better. Davidson miles better than anyone else on the park, although Kane had a very good game and as mentioned above looks a much better all round player.

Thought Kerr defended well, although his distribution needs some work. Tanser put in a good cross for the first (at least i think it was him), but he is far too weak in the tackle.

I'll take the 3 points and a good game from a few players........ However we are as guilty of playing hoofball as County - Soutar must have a sore head from heading the ball back to us every 5 minutes

Muzz, Joe, Alston, Kane & Mannus played well

Thats a 3rd clean sheet in a row as well which is a great sign

Whole team was great today but Muzz and Midge totally bossed the midfield. Defence looked solid and Kerr has slotted straight into the first team like he's been there for years. Thought Kane was great as well - turned his marker several times.

Only downside was Collums antics and the County decision to play the ball after we'd put the ball out for the injury - shows how desperate they're getting.

Very good, comfortable performance from Saints. 

We were well on top in the first half, without any moments of great quality or clear chances, but after the goal we were much more confident and kicked on.

We should have won that by far more. Was thinking in the second half that for all our dominance, if County sneaked a goal the panic might set in but luckily they created nothing until the very end. Bit frustrated at our carelessness around their box in the second half, as we had a few opportunities to create/ score that were wasted, but that's being very fussy after our best home performance in ages (all season possibly?).

Goals were a wee bit fortunate after good moves, but we deserved a bit of luck. Great timing of runs for both by Davidson.

Good performances by the whole team today, great to see the defence looking solid again, Jason Kerr is looking like a class act, and Ando was excellent.

Murray and Midge controlled the midfield, and Alston looked far more positive, he actually has good pace once he opens up and got into some good positions in behind.

Another big game on Tuesday night, the confidence is returning so it would be good to keep it going, especially as we know we can beat that shower. They seem to be getting a bit carried away with how well they're doing, so be good to knock them down a peg.

Thought this our best performance for a long long time at home. Everyone played well and gave 100% which is what we need.

Thought Ando was brilliant and plays together with Kerr well

The referee was dreadful we could have had so many more free kicks. Their centre backs were holding and climbing and getting away with it all afternoon.
