Looks like Lawal and Burrell not signed to be starters which is a bit disappointing. 

Perhaps they are a bit behind in fitness one hopes...

Surely Lawal has got to offer more than Nesbitt 

[Tea and Busquets]

Think Algeria has done well but Oliver has been outstanding in the 10 role. Hope we keep him there. McCann looking good at LB again with Mackie in the middle.

Gary Oliver

We’re a better team without Hetherington in it.

And would be moreso with Yeats available for midfield instead of RB

[Sgt Bilko]

2 wins on the bounce and new striker finds the back of the net.

[Shodwall cat]

Excellent result. Tough place to go for players and fans. Sets us up nicely for next week.

[18BAIRN76]

Pearse Carroll Ballon D’or. Burrell in for Alegria next week. Hetherington in the stands. Absolute dump of a ground but we were strolling it at the end there.

 

[Bairnardo]

Any away win in this league is tough but 3 goals and a clean sheet is really pleasing. There were legitimate concerns after Airdrie and at the very least, we asked for a response and have got it.

Obviously there's harder weeks to come but it's been a while since we made a habit of scooping up the points against these teams. Scoring goals is a habit too, which we needed to find.

I have no doubt that John McGlynn has learned more than we all have over the last two weeks, but I hope Leon McCanns run of sitting on his arse is over now. And that Hetheringtons place in the side is now taken by Yeats or Henderson.

Glad to see Burrell get off the mark too. How did him and Lawal do for anyone in attendance?

The game was undoubtedly stretched and Edinburgh were tiring a bit but both looked very sharp. Lawal’s close control is excellent and Burrell is both strong and quick.

[18BAIRN76]

Also a special shoutout to Gary Oliver who was outstanding.

[Guest Ecosse83]

Magic. Get Hetherington to f**k we’re so much better without him. Perfect weekend

From the little we've had so far Lawal does look to have decent touch on the ball. Hard to know how either can influence a game without seeing it from the start but thats good to hear.

I think you are wrong personally. Lawal won’t be out of the team for long IMO. McGlynn letting them find their feet it looks like to me 

[Sgt Bilko]

Hard to figure out how, but genuinely think there might be a few exits this week.

I agree. Mcglynn is letting them feel their way into the team. It’s what good managers do! 

[Bairn winner]

So pleased for the players, good result. Winning only breeds confidence

[Harry Kinnear]

Two wins on the bounce excellent, can’t remember the last time that happened.

[gav-ffc]

Wasn’t there but reassuring to see Oliver on the scoresheet again and also Burrell getting a goal. 
 

An assist for Carroll on his debut do him the world of good too. 
 

3 points against Queens next week

Around this time last year when we beat Airdrie and Clyde.
