on todays victory.
wasnt there but gots bits online and we sounded like we done well in first half.
Goals a penalty but so fuck we won and thats all that matters. Would have took a point before the game but delighted its 3.
Hoping the team take confidence from this today. I wish we didnt have the cup game this week and it was straight onto aberdeen next saturday.

summery from posters who made it today please?

We edged the first and they edged the second half. Both teams played some poor stuff and good stuff, a draw probably would've been a fair result. Mixu's rant must've fired the boys right up, fought for just about every ball. Good atmosphere ana, just goes ti prove that if you show a bit of fight then the fans will back always back you.

Man oh the match for me was Ryan McGowan, though could probably put in a good case for a couple others. Fucking delighted

Read a few people say that on facebook the fans done well.

Just need to hope this was big for the confidence for the team.

Like watching a different team today, fight all over the park. McGowan was excellent, Taggart showed up well, Rankin was excellent also, Durnan was improving as the game went on and by the end was starting to dominate.

I'm not sure we have the team currently to build on this and go on a run. Hopefully we pick up the odd point until January and get some new players in, then I think we will progress.

Great result today.

I don't think we will go down.
Hopefully the fans don't expect miracles though as this team will require patience for the next couple of months.

It's a start. Not sure how we'll do in next 2 games.

Don't think we'll be going down though

Morphman · 31/10/2015 8:16 pm

If we had some pace or creativity in a player as an out ball I think this team could stave off relegation no problem. Seriously lacked any pace out wide today. Until we get a winger or two in we're going to have to be content with 1-0 wins i reckon

Fans were good the day mate. Showed patience and I certainly never heard any negativity around me. Was great to see most stayed right to the whistle to applaud the teams efforts.

Quite an even game, and County deserve credit tbf. They're not a bad outfit, and came to win the game. FWIW, I'd take the boy Jackson Irvine in a minute.

Stand outs for me were McGowan and Rankin. Fantastic passion.

A wee mention also to Kuhl and Durnan, they were better today. Keeper also done well after a nervy start.

Delighted with the win, and the response from the players after Mixu's rant.

Really enjoyed it the day.

Good to get a clean sheet with that defence. I wouldn't have any but McGowan there as first choices from what we have available, so credit for that.

Better in first half, poorer after the break, against a decent side. Honestly thought McKay was immense, a class above where we are right now, but some others on our bus thought differently.

Kuhl was, again in my opinion, much better. Connolly's first booking was daft by the ref, but to credit the player, he took one for the side a short time after.

Fucking ecstatic to get three points.

Arab_plumber · 31/10/2015 8:51 pm

Today was about showing whether we had the balls for a scrap and it looks like we do thankfully.

We were well on top first half but 2nd half we were not so good mainly due to Connolly coming on and basically doing nothing apart from being sent off.....just can't see a player there!

Next up a very tricky cup game but wins breed confidence

So would eh mate, eh just dinna hae confidence in Durnan and McGowan playing blinders every game till season end, you never know though

31/10/2015 10:17 pm

Think we'll need to take some 1-0 wins and some 0-0/1-1 draws in the short term.

Mixu can only work with what he's got there.

If we can get to the transfer window where we are (or better) in relation to other sides I'll be delighted .

huntedbyafreak · 31/10/2015 11:05 pm

Take out the Celtic game and it's a 1 nil defeat to a pen and a 1 nil victory with a pen.

As bad as we were in the Hertz game they didn't really look like scoring tbh. It's not going to be pretty but we'll get there.

Arabnophobia · 31/10/2015 11:24 pm

Having more fight and determination is the starting point and without that we were fucked!
A wee bit of luck will be needed but we can't control that. We can be vocal, we can control that!

Leedsy2 · 31/10/2015 11:41 pm

What we need to bear in mind despite the euphoria of a long-awaited win, had it not been a penalty the game would have ended a goalless draw. Which, of course, would still have been better than what has been served up lately. So, thank you, lads! Well done.....

Indeed. Walking a tightrope.

One thing we need to remember is that it is only 1 victory and a clean sheet. Which should be a confidence booster for all players and fans. Our next league games are away to Aberdeen who have hit a sticky patch and then we have a break before 2 home games against Stjs then Hamilton which takes us to the end of November.
Hopefully by full time on the 28th against Hamilton at tannadice we are off the bottom and 6 points out of the 3 games better of. We just need results for Partick to go against us at this stage also.
We also play Partick at home the 12th of December.
Wednesday against Hibs is a tough one and wish it wasnt this week.
