  1. Really enjoyed that, draw was the right result in the end. We were pretty good first half, Utd couldn't live with the likes of Vaughan and Easton. As expected, Utd upped things 2nd half and to be honest we probably have big Kev to thank for the point in the end. I was at the bottom of the stairs for his save at the end, so didn't have a great view, but Goodwin was about 10 yards onto the pitch already celebrating. Kev has had 2 very good games in recent weeks. Utd will go on to win the league, but there wasn't much between the sides today and we had 2 key players out, I'll take that. 3.6k home fans for an early season match may not sound much to some, but it's an absolutely massive step in the right direction.
  2. Not a game you really want to be going into without a proper centre forward in the squad to be honest.
  3. Big shout to Ayr for keeping everyone in the stand, first time we've had a decent atmosphere down there. Big call with the lineup, but that first half was superb and the best we've played all season.
  4. Chuffed. Thought we were fantastic first half, but we were really ragged for a spell at 2-1 and I felt a goal was coming. Saw the game out well though.
  5. Looking at how the players are warming up, Brown is at centre half.
  6. I'd be a wee bit dissapointed if there isn't a loan signing in today of some description, given we've let 3 players go out on loan, and Connolly hasn't really featured so will be short on match fitness.
  7. Yesterday was the first time we'd seen it to that extent since last season, and it's something I'd really hoped had been binned. It throws any sort of structure or shape out the window.
  8. Thought Hamilton was excellent with his link up play and winning headers, but he has to absolutely bury that chance.
  9. I guess that's the downside to the depth of squad we have, in attacking areas at least. Keeping everyone happy but sticking to the strongest side, recognising that sometimes subs will come on and change the game.
  10. That's pretty much how I saw the game. Granted, I was watching on a stream for the first time in the league this season, so there will have been elements of play I wouldn't have seen, and possibly was guided by the commentary a bit. However up until the goal I didn't feel as though I was watching anything other than a fairly even game that could go either way. I was dissapointed to see the scatter gun substitutions return though. Thought we'd seen the end of that.
  11. Inverness should have been out of sight last week - and I don't think that's something that could be said about Airdrie today. Certainly don't grudge them the win, but it was an even game. There were perhaps nuances within how we played that were difference, but as an overall performance, today was significantly better than last week. We got a bit fortunate last week, and didn't this week.
  12. I am a wee bit concerned that we don't know what the strongest 11 is. As much as I thought the changes were right on paper today, I do fear that the options we have make it so tempting to tinker week to week. Gives very little scope for getting a settled 11 on the park. Today doesn't change much, for me. I think we were lucky to have had the points total we had, but do feel we are a decent side who should finish top 4. A lot of that is still on paper though. Murray needs to establish a strongest 11 I'm still really, really dissapointed with Hamilton in front of goal. He gives us a hell of a lot with his general play, but he's been nowhere near good enough in terms of scoring goals. That's the big concern for me. We struggled last season largely down to having strikers who couldn't score, and despite making a very good signing to solve that, it's not really changed. I think some thoughts of us due somebody a doing are absolutely miles off the mark. That said, it's the first bad result this season, it's vital not to over react. That will happen to an extent, and has already started to, but nothing has been won or lost yet.
  13. I thought we were easily worse than that last week, to be honest.
  14. It's unfortunate that after such a great start, we will have toys well and truly flung out the pram after the first bad result.
  15. We've played worse and won this season, just one of those. Airdrie are a decent side who will be in the hunt this season, fair play.
  16. Hamilton forced a great save, Mullin went close, Brown went close.
  17. Bit of an over reaction tbh. We've not been great today, but could really have been ahead. Great save from a Hamilton chance not long before the goal.
  18. Ended the half much stronger. That said,with Millen and Masson already on a booking, I'd be happy with a point here.
  19. 1 good save a piece, not a great performance from Rovers though. Another game where we've made changes that make sense, but have got into any kind of rhythm.
  20. Ah yes, that is more what we are used to. Why can't we have nice things?
  21. Thar makes sense, we only have one centre forward in the squad at the moment.
  22. I can't really see these guys slotting straight into the starting 11 of those teams, and that's what we need.
