Well who would have thought that if you ditch the 3 centre halves against "lesser" teams and play your best midfielder you might actually be better

I reckon if you play with a back 5 in Scottish football you should get shot!

YAAASSSSSSSSS! .... Great goal .... 3-0

[RED_JOHN]

I don’t think we started off the match (first 10 mins) particularly well but have looked in complete control ever since. A far better attitude and certainly more desire shown from the team today. Should be more, but I will take the 0-3

[NaeMairNeeps]

FT. 3 points and a clean sheet awa fae hame ... job done

[LongDistanceRed]

Looked in total control for the first time this season with a back 4

Far more solid as well defensively with having 2 players at all times in the wide areas for the attacking overload

Just miles better in every way possible

I still have the fear that he'll revert back to the 3 centre halves as soon as he can

[NaeMairNeeps]

Penalty! .... maybe nae

[Donanddusted]

Good start to 2024. Keep it going!

[Jormungand]

Aye, weaker opposition, but it's clear that a back 4 has the whole team with a better idea of where to run/create space. Keep it that way, Barry.

[The_Moog]

Well there you go.

4 at the back.

More legs in midfield helping Shinnie out (who was MUCH better as a result), resulting in better press & winning 2nd balls.

Clarkson higher up in his best position plays his best game in ages

McGrath much more effective too.

Shame nobody had suggested any of this might be a good idea to the genius before now….. oh, wait.

Still, nice win at tough venue. Would be nice to keep it going for a while after the break too, just for a change…
