I think though you can’t take that dreadful Livi pitch out of the equation along with the virus. I’m expecting another close game that could go either way.

A big win in a number of respects. Any win is good, obviously, but this felt very significant and I think was celebrated as such. It felt like there was something psychological about it, a kind of passing of the baton after Kilmarnock's success of last season. That we overtook Aberdeen to return was the icing on the cake. I thought we started the better of the two without threatening a huge amount, bar Campbell's deflected effort and they gradually came into it more as the half wore on. Nothing in it at half-time. Again I thought we started the second half the better of the sides but this time we were looking a bit more threatening. There was the disallowed goal and whilst he was only on the pitch as a consequence of Donnelly's injury the introduction of Polworth brought a crispness to our passing and directness that was missing in the first half. I was a bit baffled by the removal of Hylton. It seems to be the done thing, along similar lines to the Cole-Long rotation, to see Hylton and Seedorf rotate but Jermaine seemed to be coming on to a good game when he was replaced and Sherwin never really cut the mustard. It's a debate for a different day but he certainly seems the poorer for his failure to start games. I don't know if there was a collective "feeling" about the free-kick amongst the support or just that it took a while to set up but I've seen several different videos of the goal from various angles from our support. Each as enjoyable as the last!! Gillespie made a couple of terrific saves as Killie threw the kitchen sink at us towards the end but our set up wasn't a million miles away given the way we were hitting them on the break. Had Sherwin passed when Cole was free, Polworth's blocked effort wouldn't even be mentioned. Scott winning several corners towards the end was brilliant showing a good measure of maturity and demonstrating his terrific touch which had a galvanasing effect on the support behind the goals as we edged towards full-time. A really enjoyable afternoon.

I am very happy that we got the three points, but bringing on Seedorf put us down to 10 men. He did absolutely nothing and din't even bother chasing back half the time. a complete waste of a jersey in my opinion.

We'll be 3 up by that time in Dingwall, so no worries there To be fair, I think you need to stand off opponents a little more on plastic as they often need to take an extra touch to get the ball under control - so I wouldn't be too critical of that. As poorly as we manage the last 10 minutes sometimes, we came away with another clean sheet, so that is pleasing. Although I'm not sure why everyone was surprised at Brophy missing the target. He's only scored 3 league goals this season and even last season managed 5 less than Turnbull. Not that he's a bad player by any means. He's young and has potential - but with only one double digit season (11 goals) in his career to date, he's not what you'd call prolific at this stage.

Have watched replay a few times and am not convinced the ball was going in Look at the angle from where the ball was struck from If it had went passed the post just imagine the pelters Long would have got on here to my mind he did the right thing that any good centre forward would have done ………… put the ball in the net !!!!

I've seen a few folk say they wouldn't take Murphy back on loan. There is no way he can be worse than Seedorf has been recently.

That's pretty much what offside means, aye.

Craig Tanner scores for Aldershot. Good on you Tans.
