  1. Comfortable win and good to see us win the group. Time will tell though if this group is good enough to compete week to week in the league against better opposition. I still think we need 2 or 3 decent signings up to the level. A forward for me is a must as we are obviously light in that dept. Wilkinson looks like he's still trying to get up to speed in the Scottish game. Very static at times and second to the ball too many times. That said, he took his goal well and when he did take possession his linkup play was good. Souare has improved as the group has progressed. In the QP game he seemed reluctant to make runs and pass forward but today you could tell he had been told to get to the byline and get crosses in. All in all job done, onto next week now.

  2. A minor complaint it may be but with the position we find ourselves in, in relative safety and with very little to complain about in previous weeks can we please discuss how poor the Fir Park pie has become? We had the best pies in the land when Mr. Chapman was the supplier and while I accept there's less fat/salt etc. allowed in food now the pies at FP really have been substandard for a long time now. I always buy a pie at the game both out of habit and probably in support of the club but I really don't enjoy the experience much at all. Steak pie today - dry as hell, meat like leather with absolutely no gravy at all. I even came across a FB post of away fans slating our pies. What has happened? It's the only part for me that lets the stadium down these days.

  3. Spittal for me. Not a vintage performance from anyone today but he got the crucial opener and when he's given the ball there's generally a feeling he'll do something useful with it. Repeating myself but he's been a totally different player since Kettlewell came in and that's no accident.

  4. Excellent, gritty performance despite the best efforts of whistle happy Kevin Clancy to stop the game at every turn. He really is dire. Agree that the long stoppage in the first half put us right off our stride but we recovered well and dug in in the second. KVV really is on another level right now, that first touch for his goal was sublime and right out of the top drawer. Spittal pulling the strings in midfield was great also and he was my choice for MOTM.

    Midfield need to do more . As soon as any of them get the ball the first instinct is simply boot it up the park .

    Paton , slattery , goss and spittall all need to do better 

    defence have all played well

    You can see Spittall trying but this is never a game for Goss who is ponderous and far too weak in the tackle or a not match sharp Slattery. It's a tough shift against them for any midfield but if you're going to compete at all you need engines in there.

  7. We've been disciplined in our shape so far and we've defended well but we must be braver on the ball. Too many times we've fought back position then surrendered it with an aimless panicked punt up the park. We're still in this but we can't lose another before half time.

    Considering how shite his team mates are it's a minor miracle. 

    We've won 5 of our last 8 games fs. Beating both Edinburgh sides and high flying St Mirren. Every team needs a maverick and we have one in VV but be under no illusion, performances in the last 8 games have been a team effort. You've got to be trolling now. Away to your bed .
