3 Points

[Brizaldo]

It wasn't pretty to watch on a cauld dreich day, STAR MAN B LINN stood out from the pack. The only way is up now and a great well earned 3 points, Can someone tell Scotty in goals that if the wind is blowing across the pitch TO KICK INTO IT. Lost count the amount of times he kicked it in to the stand. Not being Neagtive just making a point.

Just another footnote. Banjo,s best position is MIDFIELD & NOT right back.

As it turned out, an inspired decision to play without a recognised striker. Stenny would have been comfortable against a big no 9.

Both the youngsters took their goals well. Linn was immense throughout and tormented their whole defence. His assists were invaluable.

What was particularly pleasing was the way the coaching staff changed things. To have the options to introduce a good striker, a fresh midfielder and a decent full back, changes the whole balance of the game. Dayle took his goal like a veteran. Smith looked bright despite wanting away, and Little allowed Banjo to come into midfield which he clearly relishes.

The wind was going diagonally across the pitch. If Scott kicked into it, the ball would be landing about 35 yards from goal as it would inevitably get held up by the wind. Giving a throw in away on the half way line is a safer option than that.

I don't get to that many games but one of the best teams that I've seen cope with the wind conditions at gayfield was Dunfermline in the recent match surely we should be the team using it to our advantage, Dunfermline had one bad kick that almost bounced straight back, after that every time the keeper got the ball the two fullbacks pushed up the centre backs went wide left and right and as we only had one up front whatever side Dayle leane
