Thoughts on tonight -
1. Was always going to be tricky with Dunfermline winning last week and no doubt McPoke getting them wound up pre game (Claude Whitngdon hasn’t started their last few games, yet suddenly comes back in for tonight - go figure
).
2. Docherty is a massive miss. Pre season we were all concerned that it was Moult that was the main man, but actually we’ve done fine in games without him, but conversely when Docherty is missing we’ve been slightly lacking. Tonight was much the same.
3. Watt still needs to get a bit fitter - Phuck me he looked like he had a beer belly lining up in the minute’s silence.
4. Moult should have that game dead and buried - IMO he should have scored two of those opportunities tonight. If he does, we win that by two or three and it’s easy street.
5. Depth is there - Academy players are actually starting to contribute. Glass and Mochrie did well when they came on and turned a game that was threatening to go against us back in our favour. Fotheringham obviously got the goal as well.
6. Fight and dig. Two words that it’s difficult to describe and difficult to in-still yet are brazenly obvious when they are lacking. This side has it in abundance. Those imposters from last season are 100% losing that game tonight, particularly the way it went with Dunfermline getting back into it. This team on paper may not have the ‘credentials’ of last year’s squad but they more than make up for it with heart and teamwork. They would beat that lot from last season nae bother.
7. Pressure on Raith again. Friday nights can go either way - put pressure on your rivals or give them an opportunity. Happily we’ve done the former. Again. Over to you Rovers.
8. Finally, yet again well done JG. Another MoM but managed to dodge the curse again thankfully. Still a long way to go, but to have turned around this oil tanker of a disaster from last season in such a short space of time is testament to his hard work. Well done and keep it up.
