Saying that is was actually a decent move for the opener, with a lovely flick in there initially from Fotheringham.
    Most of his scrappy/opportunistic goals have come from where he plays on he park, but last night he went looking to be involved and found himself in the right place to profit once again. A few others on the park can learn from that, but it may just be natural instinct that is getting him there.

    Long may that continue.

    If he's that bad one wonders why we signed him.
    Maybe not one of Jim Goodwinagain's best moves?
    We should give him a chance, he's brand new.

    We're 1-0 up, he tries the clever option instead of the simple option. Loses the ball, 1-1. If you could play 12 men I wouldn't select him, he's holding us back.
    We looked so much better when Mochrie replaced him.

    It was Sibbald who lost the ball for the equaliser bud.

    Goodwin didn't sign him. Asghar did.

    It was definitely Watt. He tried to lay the ball off on the edge of their box and gave it straight to the Dunfermline boy. Sibbald then tried to win it back on the halfway line and made an absolute arse of it. Holt also didn't cover himself in too much glory. Watt to blame for losing possession but we had another two passages to deal with the counter and didn't.

    Good analysis. Agree that our defence had pushed too high though, they've done that too often recently.

    What I see with Watt is that 7 times out of 10 he tries a flick or a popstar pass that has about 20% chance of coming off. Good players try a popstar pass one in 20, they play the safer pass 9 times out of 10. Youngsters like Mochrie have had that coached into them. Watt on the other hand just does what he fancies.

    It was Watts perfect pass to their No8 during an attempted lay-off to Tillson that started their move. Maybe Sibbald could have done better in trying to stop the move, but he was kinda by-passed by a decent header into the path of the eventual scorer.

    That end we defended second half looked really slippy tbf. Even Deniz slipped just taking a goal kick.
