Carroll played well and he provided the quality that won us the three points.

Quality header against Aberdeen as well. Fox in the box. Ex in the coffin.

I just checked because I thought it was interesting. The SPFL stats page says we have had 118 shots, 53 on target resulting in 16 goals. All three of which are third behind the Old Firm. Which is a goal every 7.3 shots or 13.5% conversion. In comparison Kilmarnock have 9 goals from 95 shots, a goal every 10.5 shots or 9.4% Aberdeen are 6.3, Livi are 6.5, Ross County are 7.3 and somehow Accies are 5.5 which is the same as Celtic. I do think you have a point about conversion though. If you look at our 16 goals we have 3 penalties, 3 from corners, 6 from inside the box in open play and 4 from long range. We haven't scored a single goal from a cross in open play so if we can improve that side of our game we will take a lot more points.

I just googled and the average conversion is 1 goal for 11 shots (9%). 16% is very good.

It's a no brainer to stick with Hartley and Gallagher. They were going well until Hartley got hurt against Aberdeen so there's no reason to change until we park the bus again at Celtic Park. I'd like to see us start Hylton, Cole and Scott up front. That looks our most dangerous combination.

Aye someone who can win a trophy. Definitely someone who won't bottle two cup finals.

Comparing a team with Brandon Barker to Barcelona.....

So what's the reason that St Johnstone and Kilmarnock have won and we haven't? Rangers budget didn't go up at halftime and we were doing ok first half. Qualifying for Europe or winning a cup will involve players not going into hiding every time the going gets tough and a manager who can change the game effectively.

This is an attitude that says who cares if we never win a trophy or qualify for Europe again. Our second half performance has nothing to do with their budget.

The three centre halves and Cole played well. The rest not good enough.

I thought he was off there. How did Dallas not book him for the one on the edge of the box?

Exactly what we deserve. Terrible second half performance.

Liam Polworth is just watching the game now.

Aye

Long is utter dung.

We don't have a replacement. For some reason Ilic is on the bench rather than Semple or Sloth.

Glenn Kamara is human valium.

1-1 is fair. We've not got much threat going forward but are defending well. Liam Donnelly diving about in the lead up to their goal was pish as well.

Shocking from Gillespie.

Polworth raging because Tavenier went down when he checked him, idiot. This could be our day.

If we had beat them McInnes would be signing on tomorrow.

Great finish from Cole. He must have been saving that up. The three centre halves look solid. Grimmy needs to watch his positioning.

Mugabi looking good.

Are they going to fire Gazza out the cannon?

Hopefully this line up is a one off. 3-5-2 is brutal.
