ODonnell was the sponsors award. Thought he was ok but struggled at times going forward and stopped and played the safe ball.

Johnny was involved in two of the goals and did more going forward in general and defended well.

Plenty of effort  from everyone.

Johnny gets my vote.

[fizoxy]

SOD was really good, but I went with Johnny K as he was instrumental in the first two goals, and also had a very solid game defensively, while on the wrong side of the back 4 as well.  It was nice that Longelo continued the theme when he came on.

3 clean sheets on the trot and improving every week. Well done Ward 🧤

[weeyin]

A few people are saying 3 clean sheets in a row.

I'm counting 4.

Is it just me?

 

[Orinoco]

Hibs hearts falkirk and livi. Four cleansheets

[texanwellfan]

First time since the last century. 

[texanwellfan]

I went for SOD. The effort he put into the game,  in particular the second half, was tremendous.

That's a lot more recent than when we were watching in the 1990's!

Still impressive, though, after our defensive lapses earlier in the season,

[grizzlyg]

Koutroumbis outstanding and Longelo now knows he has competition in that area.  Ward, watt,  mcginn all good but I went for SOD,  never stopped running and didnt waste many passes

I’ve ran out of emojis for today. Can we get a bigger emoji allowance?

I have to say I was impressed today with him,  a key save at 1-0 and great save late on to preserve clean sheet

[MFCL84]

Has to be SOD today. So calm under pressure with the ball at his feet. Slide rule passes all day. What a difference from the player that we were watching last season.

[mio]

SODs is a very good footballer, he always has been but he’s been under utilised by previous managers. Kettlewell being a prime example with his, get the ball up the park quick p1sh and getting him to do his long throw ins. 
he’s very good on the ball and a good passer. He also is pretty handy getting forward and adds height to the attack and defense at corners. He’s clearly liking what he’s being told to do by JBA. Long may it last

His first time (maybe second touch) left foot pass to Maswanhise late in the game was sublime. 

[wellsince75]

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

[Spit_It_Out]

I am going for Mr Cook.Thought he put in a good shift for us really enjoyed his performance today.

Johnny K hope we get him signed up for a few years guy is fantastic.

[grumpy]

Ward, both Full backs, McGinn, Watt and Fadinger were all on top form today. Priestman impressed in his cameo too. RCC impressed in patches and his "Heads-up football" for the third goal was excellent, Went with S O'Donnell, this system really suits him.

Johnny K had a rough start with us and took him a while to get game time but he’s turned into a solid player for us. Well done Johnny K 

 

[joewarkfanclub]

Johnny K for me all day long.

Was at it right from the start and was very aggressive in the tackle and going forwards.

Livvy couldnt deal with him and had to resort to kicking him to slow him down, which they did.

How Kettlewell never saw a player in this boy is anyones guess.....

[Welly Machine]

Johnny K for me. Thought he defended well and a threat going forward, especially second half. Also done great to cut out a Livingston break in the first.

SOD came close. Great shift, few mistakes with throw ins apart, and nearly on the end of a chance late on.

Special mention as well to Charles-Cook, who I think needs more minutes. Persisted all game and great assist for the 3rd.

I’m assuming that a cook will fill in for JT when he’s at Afcon.

Charles-Cook, Said, Sparrow - who knows? Maybe Stuparević will make a surprise return.
