There was drink involved. Very good keeper playing at his peak though. Won us a point yesterday.

Didn't really get going. Thought we were popping it about quite comfortably first half and building to something but the departure of Shane really shook us. Seems weird to say it because he's not one of our best technical players and it's taken him a while to establish himself but so much of what we've acheived so far this season is built around what Shane does. Saw a bit of squad weakness for the first time in having to play Harper in left mid for a half and he was truly awful. Still, great penalty box defending and the best keeper in the league (maybe in the country?) saw us through. It's a point we would've been delighted with at the start of the season.

Nonsense

A word of hope for Pars fans: we failed to win any of our last 5 games against Peter Grant's Alloa. That side were always very good against us.

We were excellent in terms of shape and effort throughout but at half-time I still couldn't see us winning the game as we were getting deeper and struggling to keep the ball. Huge credit to Dodds for changing it, bringing Welsh on, moving Roddy forward and then adding Doran. The way we played around Killie in the last half hour was a joy to watch and they never looked like getting back into it.

Does Welsh get back in? Difficult to leave Roddy out again after the impact he had last week and Allardice has been good in both games. Longer term, i think Welsh and Allardice will be first picks and can't see how Roddy fits into Dodds' system.

Riddle played very well at left-back for a full 90 mins at Forres pre-season but still looks very young physically. Hennan struggled to get into that game, played on either flank and looked tidy on the ball.

I'm no fan of the man or the signing but Kirk Broadfoot is in our first choice back 4, Cameron Harper isn't and i expect that will be that for this season. The lapses are worrying and the clean sheets are misleading, but the defence has made a lot of progress since Cove (possibly the worst defensive performance in our history) and taking Harper out has been essential to that improvement.

Ha, it probably was the same day. No, I don't think many managers could've done a better job, and even more impressive that he turned it around after such an awful start. I worry for whoever has to follow him.

I mind chatting with you following a defeat to Morton just a few months after Robbo was reappointed. We were in agreement that we'd have preferred Jim Duffy at that point!

Still love him like.

Robbo completely fucked it yesterday and he should shut the f**k up.

I've never come across it before, but Invernesians are not well versed in Scots so you may be right. She knows the score.

A short podcast on our trip to Palmerston: https://thewynessshuffle.podbean.com/e/lady-gaga-and-the-false-eleven/ Please bear with (or skip) the car noise in the first 5 minutes. Any Doonhamers able to translate the word the old boy uses to describe Billy Houliston?
