Biggest game of the season - no other way to descibe this! This could be a pivitol game this early in the season.

Ross come here on the back of a series of draws and to be fair they really should have won a coulpe of them. Their forwards are lively and we will have our hands full keeping them honest. 

I'd expect a similar starting line up for us as Tuesday and we should start to see the new managers strategy on how we are you going set up and manage this game.

Huge game and this could set the tone for our season.

Reminder to get in a wee bit earlier as we will be honouring our fallen service men and women. Hope the PR System has been tested out and no repeat of last year.

4 goals in our last two games, an undefeated run of two games :) plus a new manager in place, a game that we can win and keep the momentum running.

Looking at the this and our last two games, I’m sure we would of happily taken 4 points, fingers crossed we take 7 points from these three games.

Two up front again and Clark can continue his goal scoring efforts

Really good to see a half time reaction after a terrible first half. Carey’s goal was fantastic and the performances he’s producing given his personal circumstances are incredible.

May had a chance to seal it and should have done but none the less he produced more alongside Kane as others suggested he might in the Motherwell thread. Fingers crossed Clark’s injury isn’t too bad.

Progress is progress and points are points.

At a stage now where we shouldve been about 2 months ago, but they can build from here. A really solid, organised, performance with a smatter of quality. They can work out how risky we can properly go in attack from this point and also how best to use the squad too.

In a position now where there isnt massive pressure every week either so the odd shitfest draw isnt deadly.

First half was a bit scrappy, but still feel we played the better football.

2nd half was better, we responded well to County moving up a gear early in the 2nd half and then dominated.

Defensive 3 were excellent, McGowan was excellent....we wouldn't be un this situation if he'd been playing the last few months.

Robinson was again really effective, seems to have found some confidence. Brown was OK but probably least suited to that formation. 

Phillips was fantastic, seemed to be everywhere. He's a real asset.

Smith was also fantastic, lots of energy and linked up well with the Forward 2.

Kane and Clarke make a huge difference...hope the latter's injury isn't as bad as it looked.

Carey was excellent. I've been super critical of him this but to put in a performance like that with everything going on is excellent. His energy was up and his passing was largely on point and his tracking back was top notch.

Biggest change I noticed was in the management team. Constant instructions from the side given in a calm manner and Kirk and Levein were frequently in discussions about tactics. There was also a lot of encouragement for the players and very little criticism.

Not getting too excited but that 2nd half we played some excellent football. Genuinely entertaining stuff. We're far from being out of tue mire but there's some fight back in the team.

A great win and a very welcome three points. 

 

7 points out of 9 is pretty decent.

 

Clean sheet as well 😀

Tommy Wright era-esque that today. Eye-bleeding at times, a moment of quality, gritty defending and ground out a boring 1-0…

 

Ill take that every single week.
