Yip I'm the same.
Today was an improvement and an important win.
The midfield and especially Butcher looked much better and comfortable.
Liam Smith is a really solid player at any level and was close to motm for me.
Benji has been brilliant this season. Best thing Csaba has left as a legacy !!
Strange but i felt very comfortable watching United this week. apart from the last 10 mins when they were throwing everything at us i thought they were so poor, that even a shot shy united team looked better than them. Yeah they had the ball more than us which i dont really like but they done nothing with it. hardly created anything compared to other teams in recent weeks who have had big chances.
we should have been 2-0 up at half time. Pawletts chance would have been some goal and he also had that surge into the box that he took a heavy touch on. we actually looked dangerous for once going forward and defensively quite sound. 2nd half naturally was tougher due to the wind and going up the slope but felt like we dealt with anything county threw at us. just a shame a poor goal made it nervy at the end for us.
Benji- wasn't as busy as previous weeks but dealt with everything.
L.Smith- My Motm missed is reliability, solid throughout
Edwards- think hes starting to look decent. poor at their goal but in general was decent.
Reynolds- steady enough.
Robson- done well i thought
Bolton- works hard but need to see more from him on the ball.
Harkes- busy as always but needs more quality on the ball
Butcher- more like last season butcher. solid
Pawlett- the PP i want to see, driving forward causing problems.
Clark- 2 goals and some nice link up at times.
Shankland- not as isolated as previous matches but still need to be doing more for him.
Sporle- didnt have long to do much
Fuchs- did he touch the ball?
Appere- Did he touch the ball either?
Overall a better performance without being brilliant. defensively we seem to be back to being more solid again. so if we can improve our attacking play (surprise surprise) then we may start to enjoy more games. County are rubbish imo. flatter to deceive. 5th in league without even playing well imagine if we did get abit of form and confidence.
Good summary as always Darren
Clark proving me wrong a bit this season he has now become a very important player for us. Please let this be the start of Pawlett playing like that most weeks! good summary darren
I didn't see the game yesterday so can't say too much, but Clark is a strange one. Doesn't contribute much on the park other than his goals but right now, he's leaving LOA in his wake on that front. He HAS to play as part of the two up top though.
On County
After that blessing in disguise 5-1 humiliation at Tannadice, which saw Csaba sacked and the start of our turnaround from our lowest point and county going on to get promoted we've won 4 of the 5 meetings since (and the other they needed last gasp equaliser) to re establish our prior dominance in the fixture
They are one of the three sides I feel we can definitely finish above along with our next two opponents St Mirren and Accies, which are both away from home
Feel confident we can get something from both games which will stand us in good stead going into a busy and difficult December period
