I quite enjoyed that again today. And I can see why Kelty are where they are. They're the most dangerous looking side we've played this year, so much pace and drive on the break. Overall I thought we were the better side. And a mixture of mistakes at one end and poor finishing at the other cost us. Fair play to Kelty though, if they'd taken all three points you'd have to doff your cap to an outstanding away performance. They were clinical, defended well for the most part, slowed play down when they could and were always dangerous. But I don't think you could deny we deserved at least a point. Even if the second Durnan goal did arrive at probably our worst spell in the match. The game itself was quite similar to last week. And even the Alloa game. We create plenty, we're by and large enjoyable to watch. We have a superb striker in Michael Ruth and guys around him (Shiels, Carlo, McGuffie, Hilton, Gray and Sena) who are all capable of doing some excellent things. But equally as capable of overplaying and frustrating. But, unfortunately, we always look like we've got a mistake to gift the opposition a chance in us. I can only echo other comments about Ruth needing someone a bit closer. He does some absolutely incredible work to occupy defenders. But a lot of it comes to nothing when there's nobody within 20 yards. The goals we lost today were criminal. Luke McCarvel took his well, but breezed beyond Mikey Miller and (I think) Carlo like they weren't there. Craig Johnston's came from Scott Allan being given time and space and Mark Durnan getting taken out of the game by one pass. We need a win. Obviously. But that's five games in, and we haven't looked out of our depth at any point in any of them. Save maybe for the first 45 minutes against Inverness. You'd like to think we can cut out the defensive mistakes. They can't keep flowing as they are, and we're creating more than enough to be winning games. It reminds me a bit of stages last season, where it felt like we were 80% of the way there to being a really good side. But the final 10% was in each box. And it was killing us. This team has a cracking spirit. It's got some exciting options in attack. It's got personality and character and it feels like the connection sparked with the fans during the end of last season is very much still there. But we feel in a weird no man's land where our first non-draw of the season is either going to make the fans feel like we can challenge for the top four, or resign ourselves to relegation for failing to win games where we were on top. It's like a perilous tipping point and that Annan game cannot come soon enough! (I can't believe some mug tipped Kelty to finish ninth by the way. How embarrassing!)

Second answer (sort of...). I think four consecutive was the most we'd ever managed? Although we have the Berwick game in there as an anomaly. @microdaveis the man for this one though. I'd imagine five straight league games to start a season is a first though!

I like the look of that starting lineup.

Gal Lennon won't be coming back. He's joined Annan on loan.

Joel was only good for half an hour or so last week, so not sure if he'll be ready to start. But if he is fit then I'd be really tempted given how good we looked with him and Ruth together, albeit against an Arbroath side who looked bereft of any confidence. What I would say for certain though is that Cammy Clark has earned a start. Either at left-back, left-wing-back or left of a back three. Maybe even at left centre-back to let Durnan move across depending on if we get a signing in the door today like Faz had hinted. Could even move Mikey Miller to full-back and have Carlo on the wing given he was involved heavily in both goals last week. I feel like we've got options. This team has bags of spirit and is a good watch. But it now needs a win - especially with the cup break next week. Fair play to Kelty. They've had a terrific start and after losing Gourlay and Lyon I had them down to struggle a bit, but that looks like a horrendous shout. I've really enjoyed watching their highlights, they look really sharp with plenty of energy up top and Tam O'Ware strolling things at the back. The weather looks great, we've got a team I enjoy watching and we're playing some no-mark mob from a village of about 40 people that I didn't even know existed. Six goals, a clean sheet and three points for Scotland's most historically significant football club please, Stevie!

First you punt Muzz and now you've upset Sam. I'm falling out of love with you, 'Raith Rovers'.

Imagine only being able to spend five consecutive seasons in the second tier as a part-time club. How embarrassing.

10p more than it did last week

St Mirren got knocked out of Europe by Brann and don't have a game this week; so it'll be Killie or Hearts I reckon.

I see Broomhill's game was off today. Probably for the best from our point of view.

Had to look out my window there to make sure you weren't peeping in.

If you'd offered me a draw when Ruth missed the penalty I would've bitten your hand off for it. If you'd told me I would've been really frustrated with a point 20 minutes later I would've laughed. But here we are. It's difficult to know what to make of that game. It does feel like two points dropped, but we also came back from 2-0 down. So it's a point gained? Who knows. But it was good fun at least, and I enjoy watching this Sons side. Just as I enjoyed watching us for most of last season. We create chances, we usually score a few, we're just a bit kamikaze at the back. The wind really was horrendous for the first 25 minutes or so. And Arbroath had us penned right in. They weren't playing great football around us or anything, they just looked really tenacious and up for the game. You could tell there was a bit of a new manager/failing manager sacked bounce. Scott Stewart's goal was the very least they deserved for the first-half. And although it did look like we could cause them problems at the back, we had Brett Long to thank for some very, very good saves. I fancied us to come out and really pen Arbroath in in the second-half. And we started well...Then immediately got hit on the break and went 2-0 down. The game was crying out for an injection or something. And fair play to Faz, all three of his subs brought that. Joel Mumbongo brought total chaos. It was great to have someone alongside Ruth, and the Lichties defenders just didn't know how to deal with him. He all limbs and ungainly running, but god knows how you stop him running at you full tilt. His very limby run led to the penalty. But Michael Ruth briefly transformed into 2018 Kevin Nisbet. And that was that I thought. Fair play to Ruth though. His head could've gone down, but if anything the penalty miss really sparked him into life. His goal saw him spring the offside trap and finish superbly. And for the rest of the game he was a nightmare for Tam O'Brien and Keith Watson. Our other early-ish sub was Cammy Clark. And he was superb. His first touches saw him drive forward and win a throw in deep inside Arbroath's half. And that sort of set the tone for his performance. He used the ball very well, he didn't put a foot wrong defensively and his long throw was a nice surprise. It was the best I've seen him play by some distance. From the penalty onwards we were absolutely camped in the Arbroath half. The atmosphere really ramped up and it felt like the fans were willing the ball into the net. I don't think anyone was surprised when Matty Shiels stabbed in after Aidan McAdams had gone all Gordon Banks from Div Wilson's header. Joel had two great chances to win it, caught both well but missed the target twice. And Shiels had a good couple of his own, but McAdams was looking like there was no way on earth he was leaving empty handed. The final 10 minutes were as dominant as the Berwick first-half. That's no exaggeration. It was chance after chance. Shiels - on left-wing by this stage - was having a field day in particular. Finlay Gray picked up everything that they cleared. And big Sena was probably the only guy (Brett aside) who could say he played well in both halves. You could tell Arbroath are on a poor run. At 2-0 they looked fine. They slowed play down, had a bit of a threat on the break - especially through Scott Stewart - and seemed comfortable. But I think everyone felt one goal would absolutely spook them, and so it proved. As soon as Ruth scored they collapsed and were lucky to leave with a point. I suppose over the piece though it was a fair outcome. Even if the recency bias of the last 20 minutes maybe skews my feelings a wee bit. There are some good players in the Lichties side. McAdams was superb, I liked Spalding although he was overrun by the end. Everyone rates Scott Stewart and Gavin Reilly is a neat player, albeit one who maybe doesn't score as frequently as he should. But they didn't ever really scare me. And they look fragile at the moment. I still think they'll turn it around, but it's a big job for whoever comes in. Probably bigger than I - as an outsider - had expected. As for us? Well Faz's game management has been really impressive in all four matches this season, making subs that have changed the game. But a few guys must be really banging on the door now for a start, it'll be interesting to see how we line up next week.

He made an absolutely terrific save before we scored the rebound for 2-2 as well. His reflexes and bravery are superb. Ali Spalding looks a bit of a player too. Faded a bit towards the end but reminded me a bit of Finlay Gray in his early time with us.

I don't think I've ever been so gutted to draw a game that we were 2-0 down in after 73 minutes. Fair play to Aidan McAdams. His teammates all buggered off with 10 minutes to play but he stayed around and was superb.
