oft. Shankland class but Pawlett added that something special when he came on. Need to get him fit.

I'm at a loose end. Couldn't get to the game. Idle hands etc....

Double post backs that up.

Same old Friday night TV performance. Absolutely fucking terrible, players should be embarrassed to take a wage for that

Boooooooooooo
 

First half was poor.

2nd half much better and showed some dig and fight.

Totally deserved the 3 points in the end.

 Shankland again showing that if we give him service he will do the rest.

All that pissing around at the back just has to stop though, it's not like we are even any good at it and most of our problems stem from us giving the ball away in our own half

Player ratings last night.
Sigriest- not at fault for goal, made a great save 2nd half from Saunders header. Apart from that had not much else to do - 7 Smith- Defended well, got forward more 2nd half-7 Connolly- Early booking is always a worry, 2nd half won every header - 7
Reynolds- had a couple of scary moments, much better 2nd half- 7 Robson- motm performance, up and down the line all game, great assist - 9 McMullan- poor 1st half, much better 2nd, good assist, unlucky not to score- 8 Butcher - won a lot of challenges, kept the ball well- 7

1st half, frustrating as fuck, fair play to the manager and players for getting their act together in the 2nd, much improved attitude and application, deserved the win in the end.

I fear we might lose a barrowload of goals from crosses as both centre backs seem weak in the air and Seigrist is reluctant to come for crosses. Lets hope we can get in a dominant centre half before long.

 
I think its the exact opposite mate.

Connolly and Reynolds are the dominant centre backs we've missed since going down. Maybe not always pretty on the deck but both very good 'defenders' at this level. Bouhenna was pretty on the deck but as a centre half he wasnt good at the actual defending side of things.

Benji had some issues last season with crosses but its clearly been worked on and he's not put a foot wrong in terms of crosses recently.

Spot on LEK - not a velvet touch Markland.
The Mark Brothers can get us promoted.
Glad Connolly has changed his look, can tell them apart now.
 

I don't  think the Marks are either dominant or an improvement on recent centre backs. The lack of height in our defence is worrying. Last night was a good result but I wouldnt be over confident of promotion this season and for me the defence has serious flaws. The Marks are part of the problem: both are weak in the air and embarrasing on the ground.
