Agree with that , add Watt and Fadigner who also had typical solid games .

Said has had a positive impact - we need more zip in our play

Yes -First goal the winner me thinks

Dreadful game and not helped by conditions . I don’t see what either fullback are offering today and like many have said Hendry not suited . we need to get fullbacks up the park and I’d rather either move JK to right or bring on both longelo and sparrow . id also give up with any centre forward

He's one of the best sweepers we've ever had. It will be difficult to find a better keeper with his distribution

AP is a bit of an odd one and to be fair to him has a goal ratio of 1:3 which isn't terrible. He's got decent pace, works hard and knows where the goals are. Although he's missed a few chances he's not regularly lurking enough in the penalty box. This is where the issue I think is, he's a penalty box striker who if we whip in loads of crosses etc into the box I'd wager he'll stick a few away BUT that's not how we're playing the game. I do think a confident AP with a certain type of play would work well for him but that's not how we're playing. Not can I see it working for Hendry. Sule maybe if he return but for now I could see us being more effective without either AP or Hendry.

I thought Fadinger was excellent , as were several players . He goes under the radar but what a fabulous signing he’s proven to be

Martindale is right other than... 3 goals to better 60/40 possession 7/1 shots on target 540 v/s 392 passes but other than that it was very close It's weird watching us and having such a level of certainty by 60 mins that we'll win the game. Our game management has come on leaps and bounds.

Total football - that was beautiful

Priestman has been very decent since coming on .

Can’t believe livi left back has lasted this long before being booked

It’s been a pretty even game albeit we have had the better chances . good news is the bench has some very good players who could positively impact the game . With RCC being on a yellow he’s likely to come off. could see sparrow , longelo , slattery , said and Hendry all coming on

AP should have buried that

Most good things coming from RCC so far . Need to make more of our chances , final ball not been great

Welsh dropping to the bench is a blow. Must increase the chances of Livi getting some goals in. He took a heavy knock towards the end of the Falkirk game so can understand why he's on the bench. I think we'll struggle to create opportunities with little width in the team, SOD as much as I like him won't be charging up right and JK on the left unlikely to offer as much as Longelo (who must also be carrying a minor injury) . Can see this being tight and perhaps swing in our favour in 2nd half brining on Sparrow, Longelo and Said to have an impact. Positive to see Watt back though, we missed him midweek.

Welsh, McGinn, sparrow , longello , fadinger all had good games . Welsh for me has filled a huge gap and not put a foot wrong in last few games

You know you’re setting yourself up for disappointment here Mio . Albeit your optimism has plenty of base . A couple of key signings would make a massive difference and maybe just maybe

Lots of really good points here . Slattery not been playing well, he may benefit from being on the bench for a couple of weeks. We have enough depth to replace and personally I like RCC he gives more width and supports longello nicely . Welsh for me is captain material and if we can we should spend a few quid and bring him perm . upfront is an issue , AP and Hendry are not great as lone strikers . If we can get Sule back and fit he looked to have strength to be they player but we need something diferent and can see Stupavic or Robinson solving either

For Livi I'd have a few more of our physical players start, although Hendry was poor last night I'd start him but also have RCC, Said, Sparrow all start as they add strength v's others can get pushed around. Like others have mentioned Watt being back will make a huge difference - we missed him last night.

We were poor and to be honest I thought we played into their hands. Subs were poor - Sparrow & Longello were the minority offering something, appreciate the latter may be struggling with injury. We simply didn't react to their 4 subs, didn't changes anything and could have played all night and not scored. Expected better game mgt by the gaffer but equally appreciate a decent point on what is another dreadful pitch. Will stop now before I rant about why SPL entertain such nonsense.

Not sure we deserve it but would take it all the same

Yes Hendry has offered zero , RCC doesn’t get as much time as he deserves - would like to see him on

Sparrow was excellent - not sure why he’s being subbed

I think we need to be more patient but also RCC or Just coming on could cause problems . Fingers crossed for something better - another win please
