1st half
thought we gave them abit too much time on the ball but we looked fairly solid defensively. forcing them to punt it long which didnt trouble us much. when we started to get the ball down and play, we did play some decent stuff. thought we looked dangerous on the counter and the final pass was were we broke down. They had alot of possession without much substance but i thought we just edged the 1st half on chances.
2nd half
for the first 5/10mins of the 2nd we looked decent but we slowly allowed them to pass it around again and had a few dodgy moments. their goal was poor and thought theyd put us under more pressure but thought we dealt with it well enough. the last 10 or something they should have probably scored again. thought they were much better due to having options on the bench to make a difference and looked fitter.

Ratings
Lewis- looked fairly solid. Abit suspect at a few crosses but came and collected the majority. some good saves aswell in the 2nd half. two good saves in the shootout(8)
Toshney- fairly solid by his standard, got done near the end but cant remember him being caught out much. (7)
Edge- dealt with moussa well. didnt do much wrong stuck to the basics (7)
Durnan- similar to Edge (7)
Scobbie- thought he struggled to deal with deacon. showed where his weakness is (5)
Alladyce- got stuck in and battled well but his passing was abit off at times. (6)
Stanton- Drove well and made some good runs. looked asif he was tiring near the end but put in a good shift. looks like he'll be a good player for us (7)
Briels- similar to Alladyce he was solid in the tackle and abit sluggish on the ball a few times but overall looked decent. (7)
King- worked hard and caused a few problems for kerr but wanting too see abit more from him tbh (6)
Mcmullan- Motm for me. was direct and put himself about .caused problems for their defence all game. (8)
Fraser- decent 1st half but struggled to make the right pass in the 2nd. (6)

Mcdonald- could tell he wasnt match fit but used his experience well and took his pen well. should be decent given the chance. (3)
Flood- similar to Mcdonald he looked sluggish and not match sharp. how he got booked for his 1st foul was shocking. (2)
Chalmers - didnt do much, sadly missed his pen . (-)

Dundee
thought they had a few decent players. the boy in the middle kamara looked looked like their version of Osman at partick. deacon caused problems to scobbie and allan looked dangerous if we allowed him too much time. the rest looked average imo. they played like a team who thought they were better than what they were. if they were any good they would have comfortably beaten us today with the chances they created in the 2nd half esp. superstar moussa was dealt fairly easily by durnan and edge honestly think the boy haber would have caused more problems than him.

the draw
its the way the draw fell you either get lucky or you dont. think itll be an interesting 2nd game. weve both got the feel for eachother. hopefully with us being abit fitter and match sharp we will be able to be more dangerous. bring them on i say!

overall
thought they just edged the game tbh we had the better of the 1st they were better in the 2nd. if they took their chances they would have won comfortably. considering we played 70 odd mins without a recognized Striker we done well.
