Ross County Away

Reynolds should be the one going to the bench if anyone. He's gives me the f*cking fear every time he gets the ball. Ideally it's Edwards and one other next season. The one other not being Connolly or Reynolds.

Thought Reynolds was quite good today with a solid player beside him.

See I hate that 'with a better player beside him' chat. We've had it so often over the years to cover up the sh*teness of the player in question. I'd just prefer us to have decent players who are decent regardless of who's beside them.

Not many under performers today in what was an all round good team performance but out of the 3 centre backs it has to be Reynolds that should miss out, reads the game well enough but that's probably his experience carrying him but he's slow,not great in the air and his distribution is horrific......when he passes the ball he reminds me of the passes Darren Dods used to do when forced on to his wrong foot......but Reynolds seems to have 2 wrong feet.

I thought Reynolds was ok today, at least you have balance of right footer/left footer with that pair. County were quite direct at times so opposition probably suited him. I'd persevere with McNulty, he wasn't great today but he does come wide and link up play a bit more with the likes of Fuchs/Pawlett/Smith, and that movement can create a bit more space for other players.

A good game from Pawlett today too, rare you get two in a row. Robson was a bit steadier, maybe helped having Sprole in front of him, but I have to say the amount of times Robson gets in a good crossing position and hits an absolute shocker is unreal.

Edwards was my motm today. But the whole team performance was good. When Chalmers comes back. If he gets anywhere near how he played before the injury McNulty will have to make way.

He just looks scared of having time on the ball, like he can't wait to get rid of it which shows in his distribution half the time. You're Darren Dods comparison is so bang on. 😂

Agreed. If we had someone who could get into the positions he gets into AND was capable of delivering a cross we'd have so many more goals in the 'for' column.

We were much more composed today. Players looked comfortable on the ball and we didn't lose easy possession. Harkes not being in the team was one of the reasons why.

I really hoped that he would step up this season but he hides on the park, not making himself available for a pass to help out his team mates.

Sporle and Fuchs are much more composed and, although I've been a critic, Butcher was very good today.

Making yourself available and keeping the ball in midfield means the defence can play passes out from the back instead of aimless punts up the park, which ultimately creates chances for the forwards.

Much more optimistic after today's performance.

Think it is hard to be critical of anyone today. Thought the entire back 4 were worthy of praise. The fluidity in midfield was great. Biggest thing for me for that was Butcher being the positional pivot.

Not getting carried away, as they are truly awful, but plenty to build on and although tough games to come, nothing I am frightened of.

I know Robson struggles with delivery but look how long it took Robertson to develop that and now it is the best part of his game. Thought Robson and Smith were both stand outs today
