Morton

Such a buzz after the first half and don’t want to get too down after the second half.
Think Connely got his motm for bawling at Booth (and Smith I think) for letting cross in. Great to see a real leader. Like most, I thought that Butcher was brilliant. Aggressive, winning first and second balls all day, and doing a power of work defensively. Despite that, my personal motm was Harkes. What a brilliant signing this could be. Reminds me a wee bit of Stretch. Head up, gliding through that match, seemed to be a couple of seconds ahead of most around him.
Ogren has backed the club to the hilt. And if this first USA import is anything to go by, things are looking very promising.
Will we win the league? Still odds against I’d say but play offs? Must have a great chance.
Lastly, Sow is going to scorecards of goals for us if he can stay fit. Big brute of a striker. Just what we need.

I thought we started the second half as we played the first, great. Morton got back into the game when Butcher went off (he did look tired though). Harkes was absolute quality, my MotM.

[Shedboy1971]

Harkes was my motm id kind of thought he was a token american but if he plays like that we have a very good player

Great to read from afar about the progress being made with the new players.
Was the reported attendance correct at 4902. I was hoping to see over 6000 given the new era and excitement?

[Brian_Welsh_is_magic]

Yes it was. But keep playing/winning then they’ll come back.

It was also Baltic!

It was also Baltic!

Just like the game, weather was great first half in the GF west lower until the sun went doon! Legs were blocks of ice by the end.

Really enjoyed that today, night and day in terms of quality play and entertainment.

I just had a sneaky feeling Harkes was going to be an all round good player, lovely passing, mobility and a bit of dig.

Out of the starting 11 not a single player was off it.

At the start of the second half we had about 3 efforts in 4 minutes.

Thought it was potentially good management by RN when he brought on Fyvie, but there was no uplift in his recent performances, he had a shocker.

The quality of Harkes and Pawlett was tremendous, best game by far Smith has had by far since he came back.

Safranko was very good and more effective, because there were better players around him. Clark was good as well today, much closer to Pavol and lovely set up for Pawlett’s goal.

No pressure game next week, I think we will take St Mirren based on today. If they can do today after a day in training what will they be like after a week? 😋

Best first half at home since Partick when cammy with got a hat trick in 2016

Very good, should have been 4-5 today, good keeping from them, and a brain fart from Fyvie meant it looked closer, saw it out comfortably

Harkes excellent, as was Butcher and Pawlett

The future of bright no matter how this season ends, mugs and soft no more

There is no way that figure is right, why would we have a sub 5k crowd today, no chance, it looked more like 6000 so I am guessing the 4 should have been a 5 and there has been a mix up somewhere

Amateur stuff

Spot on about the best since the first half since Partick, that’s been a long wait.

Crowd looked better than what was reported, and there was certainly a better atmosphere buoyed by the performance.

What’s the story for next week, still no details on the website?
