I expect that I'm in a serious minority but I thought that McManus was pulled back by the defender at the penalty incident, in fact I think it's obvious in the footage. He could probably have stayed on his feet but that doesn't erase the foul.
Also, I felt at the game that De Vita dived for his free kick, which you can't really see in the footage, however he had been fouled before hand so that was ultimately the correct decision. Certainly no foul on the goalkeeper from the cross either.
As far as the performance is concerned we had an obvious game plan in the 1st half, allowing Raith to have the ball and sitting deep but that resulted in De Vita, Gomis and Longridge being completely anonymous. Gomis just wasn't at it at all, due probably to playing a role that he's not suited too. That meant that we constantly hit the ball long for McManus, which was never going to work.
The difference when Miller came on was obvious, meaning that we could play it long and he won most of his headers and was able to bring players into the game. Longridge and even De Vita were much more involved after that.
The defence was much more solid than Saturday (couldn't be any worse) with Durnan having a good game. Doyle, I felt also had a good first half, defending well.
We obviously need to change it up for Saturday though and I would play Longridge up front with McManus which, when I saw the line-up, is what I thought was going to happen last night. Todd being fit would be a real bonus too but I don't know if he's anywhere near or not?
