    Stanton who I have liked so far wasn't quite on his game but worked away.

    Fyvie is a player who will increase in influence over the next wee while.

    McDonald was poor in first half for dealing with long balls and lay offs. Usually a strength of his but he kept working away.

    Keatings was poor, well off his game sadly.

    When your 76th minute subbie (N'Koyi) wins a long ball header within a couple of minutes of coming on and it generates a huge ironic cheer from the crowd (cos it's the first one of the game) that's when the he manager should ken!

    As per OP a wins a win but that was pretty pish today. A huge wake-up call to the manager. We have an excellent squad on paper, he should be looking to produce better with the resources he has....

    The defence and keeper did fine by and large...I am liking that Ray has the stones to bench Toshney and the Edge. Up to them to seize their chance as and when they get back in.

    One thing to mind though, did Hibs not only win 16 games all season? We've now won 3!

    That game today was one of the worst games of football I've ever had the misfortune to pay into. 3 points is 3 points but it was plucking brutal.

    Play like that next week and we'll be heading home from Paisley with our first defeat safely tucked under our arms

    Said before and I'll say again.
    We have a squad that should win the league but a manager who isn't capable of getting the best out of them.
    I would love Mackinnon to prove me wrong but best I can see is playoffs.

    We have a team built to play 4231. I dont care what folk say but every time we've played 442 we have been utter ****e, yesterday being a prime example. Get back to 4231, get the 3 attacking midfielders floating around with a freedom to play across the three instead of having to retain a solid flat 4 and we'll start playing football again. If we're playing 442 we need 2 very good wingers and we simply do not have that in King & Fraser.

    Not overly concerned, was easily our worst performance in the 9 games this season, still got the 3 pts and are 5 wins out of 5 at home, better to have an off day in a game like that than next week where vast improvement is needed
