    Played a lot better, with some good link up play, still room for improvement. I think Robson needs more coaching/help on the pitch, he is still young and learning the game in a league where seasoned pros are more suited. Team was panicking in the last few minutes with bizarre refereeing decisions but held out.

    I think the team and tactics were better yesterday, and there appeared to be the desire and higher tempo everyone has been crying out for.

    Because the performance and attitude was that bit better I thought there was a much more relaxed, calm attitude from the crowd when we conceded. Even better the players seemed to be clam and relaxed too and kept plugging away (two good subbies to bring on btw). Well deserved winner which has lifted things a bit.

    Tough game next week but absolutely no fears going there next week IF Ray and the team show the same attitude.

    One negative was the poor defending of set pieces - I was quite far from their goal but thought Edge was flat footed and maybe Harry could have come for the initial high ball?

    Notso,
    From my angle, it was 3 top drawer saves that kept the score tied before half time. On another day at least 2 of those go in!

    And i would have loved to see Keith back, but he is out with an injured knee again after having had a very good start to the season.

    Thanks Chick, couldn't quite see from where I was sitting at other end of ground, credit to their keeper then!

    Dont get me wrong we deserved our victory yesterday but i am not convinced at all by Ray and his staff that they are good enough to get us up.To go into the season using poor midfielder's at right back,losing and not replacing your target man was criminal.We really could not have asked for anymore luck in the league this season with no major side in it bar us for the first time in years and ICT and Falkirk imploding but we still find ourselves trailing two team's with very limited budget's who continue to score for fun at this level.

    We're going to struggle as we continue to toil at the back and hopefully Dunfermline won't be able to take us apart next week. Poor Mark Durnan is holding a defence together which includes various imposters at right back, a left back who's having a right mare just now and a centre back unable to jump who wins feck all in the air......with little option at moment.

    Scobbie and Quinn might improve but not seen much to inspire there either as both average players.

    Maybe Raymundo saw that a striker up beside McDonald is however a positive, Scott had a good game.

    Not really get out of jail as despite how bad he is allegedly doing and how amazing Dunfermline and St Mirren are, we are right there with them, without having had a good spell yet

    We are 16 unbeaten at home (overall won 22 lost 1 under him at Tannadice), we have lost just 3 of our last 26 games in all competitions

    Where we need to improve is away from home as it's been poor

    Hopefully an improvement at Dunfermline this Saturday compared to recent away games, it will be needed as they have a very good home record recently and are obviously carrying a threat going forward, saying that the St Mirren defeat is our only league loss for 6 months (in the last 13 league games)
