I don't think we could buy a goal at this rate. Not a sniff of a good chance.

That better be on sale ASAP. Love it.

Been to 4 games so far this season and honestly don't understand the amount of hate Kidd has been getting. He's not world class and struggles to even jump for headers but at least he tries to push forward and keep the ball on the deck when he's in the middle of the park which is severely lacking in our general play just now and I'm all for. We looked so much stronger second half with Kidd at CM and Kilday back at CB (and no I'm not saying Kidd was the game changer). Paton is another one that I actually think has played well overall but ran himself into the ground today and tired. He could be extremely useful as a sub as there's still a lot of technical ability there. Feel unlucky that we never came away with 3 points after hitting both the bar and post but our first half performance was dire. Dunfermline's tactics at the start were spot on sitting deep to invite us up the pitch and leave Nisbet and Ryan on the toes of Brownie and Semple to force mistakes. El Bak has energy and pace which we have been crying out for, perhaps when Dobbie is back we can push him out wide alongside Oliver and Murray in a front 4.

Generally quite impressed with a lot of our interplay in the first half hour and the last 30 today. Fast passing along the ground with some good skills on show and nice one-twos. Kidd was actually quite composed in the middle of the park today which was encouraging and Hamilton won his fair share of headers in the first half (albeit did not much else). Three goals in Dobbie's absence is always a plus but that defence is still prone to a lapse in concentration. We still have a tendency to go to sleep for a period of the game and allow the opposition to swarm into our half, seems to be a trait we've had for the past few seasons. Overall not too disappointed or worried on that display, Morton never looked streets ahead of us and I think we will be in for another tight championship season. Sounds like we are still on the hunt for a few more bodies to bolster the ranks and add competition so roll on next weekend and here's hoping for a win against the new boys.
