MOTM Ross County 17-Jan-2026

[weeyin]

The joy of cup.

Blood and thunder, end to end excitement as two teams go all out to advance to the next round.

And there was this game too.

Take your pick...

[Orinoco]

I thought with Fadinger arrival we improved. So gave it to him. 

[mio]

No stand outs for me so I gave it to Maswanhise the match winner. 

[weeyin]

I went for the keeper. 

Didn't have much to do, but made a couple of important saves to keep our clean sheet record intact and avoid any extra time shenanigans.

[grumpy]

I went for Oscar, a very accomplished performance. Connolly, Maswanhise, Sparrow and S O'D, of the starters, deserve mention, Fadinger and Just were standouts when they appeared.

[Ya Bezzer!]

Just made a big difference when he came on and Maswanhise, although he didn't have his best game, got the goal and made the difference.

However I'd go for Connelly.

Made a couple of good/decent saves and looked confident playing in the Askou style.  

[purestate]

Oscar was comfortable all day and started quite a few moves.  I was expecting him to be play more of the Watt role but either it was a deliberate tactic not to have a player building the play or he wasn’t disciplined enough.  
Special mention to Fadinger who injected much needed pace into game and definitely was the main reason we scored even if final touch was from JT 

[Welly Machine]

Went for Priestman. Looked comfortable all game and has never let us down when he has come into the team.

[sinjy]

I thought Priestman was excellent. He always made himself available and never wasted a ball. If Watt is off he is an obvious replacement.

[wellfan]

No real standouts today, but Priestman edges it for me.

[Andy H]

Was thinking of giving it to AP out of sympathy...

[grizzlyg]

Priestman done well but felt Fadinger made a difference 

[Kmcalpin]

No standout but Priestman impressed. I opted for Liam Gordon though. Kept an awkward Jordan White quiet.

[joewarkfanclub]

Thought SODs had a very good first half. Just and Fadinger had good games when they came on.

Went for Oscar for his overall performance, although he did spoil it a little with a couple of slack balls at the end.

Special mention for Said noising the shit out if Big Iacovitti! He is some boy!
