Can’t be too unhappy given the significant improvement from the last few weeks. 2nd half we started the thoughtless punting up the pitch again which was frustrating, but there was some decent passing play and chances in there overall, and disappointed not to collect all 3 points in the end. The fact we weren’t brutal probably says everything that needs to be said about Hearts too. Hopefully it’s the start of a much better run of results and performances, but the standard of our matches against Ayr has been brutal this season so we’ll see.

all due respect, Raith have been excellent. But it has everything to do with us being dreadful. Our midfield has been missing since at least the turn of the year.

Hearts at the weekend should be a laugh though

it’s been like this for months, and we’re only getting worse. Something’s got to give surely...

not just you and not just tonight

fantastic start turned into a typical performance from the last couple months. At least there were some positives to take when the changes were made but it was all too late.

Based on our performances for the last couple months, no you really don’t.

Absolutely brutal stuff.

If I remember correctly we were 2-0 up at half time, and then scored about a minute into the 2nd half? Regardless, that was a cracking day.

On the dive incident, personally had a similar view to the camera and thought the dive was clear as day. All things considered, angles play a huge part. Haven’t seen the highlights so don’t know the refs position at the incident, but it’s worth bearing these things in mind.

Well he looked reasonably solid in that time. Devine is a complete bombscare, and even though we’ve been ok defensively recently he’s still made poor judgements that haven’t been punished. Never said my opinion was absolute, just was optimistic about it. No need to get any knickers in a twist

The defensive setup early days this season looked really promising before Murray’s fall. Now that the structure in the middle is really taking shape, I’m cautiously optimistic that Murray and Ashy’s return might be the start of something good.

Yeah I don’t think it’s easy to compare his time at Livi with Dundee. Livi were brilliantly drilled, and he was a crucial part of a midfield 5 that caused everyone in the division serious problems. While his performances may be poor now, it doesn’t seem much of a stretch to think it’s maybe a by-product of poor coaching and management. Cue Shaun Byrne masterclass and hat-trick on Saturday.

Can’t say I blame them either. Brutal stuff.

Given the form book, the current fan attitude on display, and the reverse fixture earlier in the season, I’d say 3 pts for us should be well up for grabs. Will settle for a point, but 3 would be so helpful moving forward if playoffs are a legitimate target. No chance I can make the trip though, I get the impression that the attendance from us may be well under the standard we’ve set for tannadice.

Bizarre game. Great to win so convincingly, absolutely the right response given the disappointment of both Alloa and Stranraer in recent weeks. 2nd half was dull but that’s solely down to the game being over. Frankly, I’ll take that every day of the week. PT knocked the ball around well at times, but up front and defensively they are almost completely absent. January will be crucial for them no doubt. I do have to say though that the ref was, as per usual, absolutely dreadful. Even for this level, destroying the game within 4 minutes is poor. I get that we still made the most of that opportunity, but how long is it going to take before we see the improvement that officiating so desperately needs in this country?

Thought 1st half we were by far the better team, and the only one really attempting to play football (although neither team really created any clear chances). 2nd half was much the same, except we created chances and took them. Other than Dobbie’s shot from distance, QOTS never really troubled Scully at all. All in all, it’s probably the most consistent performance I’ve seen from us this season, especially at EEP. 3 points and smiles all round. Long may it continue

Thanks! I generally keep my eye on the forums incase there’s any useful info around, figured I might as well start chiming in.

Shooting boots required for us on Saturday. While on the whole we’ve looked quite decent defensively, our goalies have been inconsistent, and that coupled with Dobbie undoubtedly shooting-on-sight will mean we need to be taking chances when they come. Tuesday certainly had it’s ups and downs, but if we play like we did 2nd half we’ll have every chance of picking up 3 points.
