Based on what? His hold up play is decent, he runs in behind, his touch is very good and brings others into play? Obviously he doesn’t score enough but when he helps bring Morrison, Nesbitt and Kennedy into play that shouldn’t be a worry. 

Did all those things very well. Exactly what I'm looking for in a second striker.

Can’t be the only one who noticed Rowe and McCann drift into the middle while in possession with Kennedy and Morrison pushing right out wide especially in the first half.

 

 

McCann more so than Rowe but aye... Very noticeable

A good overall team performance in atrocious conditions. Rowe has brought a balance to the right side we’ve been sadly missing. Oliver gets it big from me but the last two games he’s covered every blade of grass. Although the league is tight after the top spot, there’s a slight gap appearing in the runners for qualifiers, and with Alloa games coming thick and fast, if we can look after these we,ll be in a good place. A box to box midfielder and two CFs and we won’t be far-away.

Think people are missing the point of Oliver in this side. He’s not there to be a goal scoring striker he’s there to link up the play and bring the wingers into the game which I think he does very well. Although he doesn’t have the sharp finishing you’d expect of a lone striker, we wouldn’t have had half as many chances as we do with him not there.

Another 2 assists for Nesbitt. That's him had his one good game in ten, two weeks running.

I have to admit, I've not been the biggest fan of Nesbitt since he came, but he's definitely played his best football the past few games, having Henderson and McGinn in midfield had allowed him to get further forward and he's doing brilliantly. Oliver was okay again today, I wonder if we can find someone in the market that can link up like him while also putting chances away, I'd like to see Yeats come on for McGinn the last 20 minutes similar to how Burrell comes on.

That’s twice in a little over three weeks that we’ve put teams to the sword in the last ten minutes or so of the game.

That’s a great habit to have gotten into. Last season, we were throwing the towel in after half an hour.

Electing to play without a recognised CF and coming out of it 4 goals to the good is a pretty impressive bit of game management (regardless of the opposition).
