First couple games in, was heavily shitting it that we were gonna go full fun and take 7 from Airdrie.
Last 3, but more relaxed.
Ok 2 cup games were lesser teams but Carlisle were dominated. Kept quiet. Assured when needed at the back.

Will need to carry that on Friday. Hope they keep it going.
Cliche time; keep the baw on the deck against them, we’ll be fine.

4-0 united at half time.

Middleton, Anim Cudjoe, Sibbald, Moult

Magnificent all round performance with some great individual performance but more importantly the rolled up the sleeves and got wired in from the start.

Moult, McMann, Docherty and Cudjoe all can be particularly pleased.

4 nil away and Mulgrew gone, great day all round.

Really enjoyed that first hour tonight. Brilliant performance. Delighted we came 'out the traps' fast tonight and looked like we were up for it from the first whistle.

Quick, sharp passing. Rapid counter attacks. And clinical finishing.

That was a joy to watch actually, and a brilliant marker to put down on the first game of the season that we are gonna take some beating this season.

Thought the team had a much better balance to it tonight and though there were no failures at all, my special mention goes to Scott McMann, Louis Moult and Mathew Cudjoe. All outstanding i thought. Good displays also from Craig Sibbald, Ross Docherty and, yes Tony Watt. Everyone else solid enough.

My only grumble is that we never scored more, though we were very unlucky not too given we clattered the woodwork twice, had a stonewall penalty denied and had a few other near things.

My only other grumble, well not so much a 'grumble', more an observation. The homegrown Academy players really aren't bringing enough to the team when called upon. That is a few lesser opposition they've featured against and i really don't see that any of them have added anything. Cudjoe imo by far our best young player and the only one worthy of a Utd jersey on merit. 

In an ideal World i'd like to see the likes of Macleod, Thomson go on loan and a couple of more experienced and physical attacking players come in the door this window. Do that and i think we really are ready to have a good season where we can have a good go in every game. Currently we just don't have the depth attacking wise from middle to front if one or two of our key players got injured.

Anyway that's for another day. Excellent, excellent start. Harder tests to come, starting next week i suspect.

Great atmosphere last night. It wiz a fine evening in Aberbrothock. Nae wind and nae hot air.

Saw grit and bottle that we only saw a couple oe times last Season. Ken it was jist 1 gehm, but was a line in the sand, but we hae to keep this up. (the Pars next).

Passing wiz better than weve seen in a while. Finishing imoroved, tho the only wee moan wiz that we never got a couple mair in the 2nd half, even tho we were in control.

MOTM for me McMann

Agree with the majority Tek. Penalty is prob my only one I’d disagree with. Delighted if we get it, furious if it goes against us.

The clock is showing the right time for me.

If you guys go into 'My Options' bar up the top of the page and set your clock to +1CET it should sort it out.

Sorry to disappoint, nae lottery numbers from me. I posted that at half time.

If I had that level of prediction skill I would have entered the prediction league that TEK is running

watched the 1st half again (did the same on Saturday morning), I loved the way we played with that front 4. Middleton and cudjoe offering out wide, Watt playing well behind the striker and Moult was unplayable. we treated a wee team like how Celtic treat us, no respect and turned up like the big boys and got the job done with ease. far too many teams before like Dumbarton, Alloa and that took the game to us previous. hope we go for the kill in all other 37 games this season.

I’ve watched the whole match back again since Friday and as well as the excellent movement and passing on the ball it is noticeable that everyone is working like fcuk when we don’t have the ball.  Noticed a huge change in Middleton in particular, clear that someone has had a serious word with him.  Guys like Gallagher, Docherty and Moult demanding it from their teammates throughout is great to see.
