Just back from the game. It's a bit of a trek for me these days, with the drive to Wemyss Bay and the ferry, but glad I went to that one. Just read through the comments and I think Ya Beezer summed up what I thought.
TJ and Davor looked like they wanted to get sent off early doors. I think Kaleta is a liability TBH, never defends his area and seems to wander back when we have a break against us. Tony Watt saw a fair bit of the ball today and I thought he was doing a lot of the things that he used to do for us, control the ball and quick flicked passes but at the moment they're just not coming off for him. Thought the defence looked pretty solid mostly and (on my son's insistance) I kept a close eye on Halliday. He honestly does a lot of stuff that he's not going to win gold medals for but his positional awareness and ability to break up stuff coming towards us and jump in when someone makes a mistake can't be underestimated. A lot of his forward passing maybe isn't finding the mark but he does a lot of important stuff, a lot of it unseen.
Vale I thought made a big difference when he came on and Nicholson should have got an easy 3rd (if he was onside). Good to see Slattery and McGinn back on the pitch.
I actually thought we were pretty comfortable after the 2nd goal. Aberdeen had a lot of ball, but there was never what you would call a backs to the wall defending performance. I actually thought we were worth another goal or two.
On a side note, in the second half a couple of times when we had men still up the park when the ball went to Ox.....Ketts was screaming at him to play the ball out quickly and he stopped and wasted time instead. The gaffer was losing his shit about it.
Still, ye canny beat a wee trip home with 3 points in the bag.
