Couldn't have argued if either side had won that. Proper entertaining game. Hibs better in possession but never created anything really clear cut, while we had players more willing to take men on and try and cause panic. 

Definitely lack a CM to calm things down, as you could feel a shift in the game second half for a spell but we just couldn't keep the ball. 

What a difference there is having a couple of wingers brave enough to take men on, add in Watt who gives you physical presence, technical ability and a real work rate. Had no idea he'd be so willing to track back.

Good open game, enjoyed it. 

Hibs good in possession, and have a lot of tidy midfield attacking players with good movement. Thought Hibs had a few good chances in first half but great goalkeeping, and a brilliant block by Foster kept them out.

Drey Wright was ripping the Hibs left a new one everytime he went at them, him and Foster look a really good partnership down the right. 

Kennedy is a very good player, but needs to sharpen up his decision making. Sometimes keeps the ball far too long, same last week, and Tanser/ others don't know where to make the run as he doesn't play the early pass.

Defence looked good, Kerr and Ando looked very solid, as were the full backs.  Murray doing a great job as usual.

The best thing about the game compared to last week was the fight and aggression.

Hibs had a lot of the ball in our half, but we seemed content to sit in and let them have it, and they didn't get in behind us too much in the second half. Cracking ball in from Boyle for the equaliser, Ando had been pulled wide and was trying to get back in, not sure if Kerr had come across to cover, but it seemed a nightmare for Kerr and Foster to deal with.

Ambrose is quality, though he should have been penalised for a foul on Kennedy late on.  Also looked a stonewall penalty when he blocked a header with his arm in the second half, have to see that one again.
