  1. I think we could finish top half, outside chance of play off place. Goodwillie caused us all sorts of problems with his  movement yesterday, and we contributed to that by holding such a high defensive line, enabling him to get in behind our back four, but we won't be facing players as good as him every week. I really like Kris  Renton, but as soon as he was substituted we played much better working the ball through midfield and but for a couple of fine saves by Currie we could have got back into it. Given the last two seasons I 'm taking nothing for granted.

  2. Pitch was difficult yesterday, but we've hardly had any rain all summer. Cove are a decent side and have improved since we last played, but we have improved even more.Tight  game that could have gone either way. McGurn's save just on half-time was crucial.I think the reason we edged it was our attitude was better. Pleased for Cox that he got the goal after all the chances he has missed.

  3. Pretty pleased with that. Hugely entertaining game with chances galore. Inverness are a full time top end championship side with some good players, Tremarco and Walsh especially, but we gave as good as we got first half. Third goal kind of settled it and was a blatant hand ball, somehow missed by the officials,who were inept throughout. Midfield performed better without  Miller, though I would prefer Swann to Buchanan but perhaps the balance wouldn't be right then.Looks like Sheerin is going to become a legend in his own lunchtime.

  4. A bit of needle creeping in. The first time I have seen Kelty  and I was quite impressed. Uncompromising in defence, hard working in midfield, and lively up front The keeper farting about with the ball at his feet is an accident waiting to happen though. On the balance of play they deserved to win  though ironically we had the best chances. Our line-up was experimental in personnel and formation but it would be wrong to imply that we weren't trying.

  5. Moussa is certainly  a "handy" player. Looking at the photo of his overhead kick his feet are very high and very close to Rumsby's head so it could have been given as dangerous play,but it was such a good finish I guess the ref didn't have the heart to chalk it off. Having said that our young keeper had some good saves so it  could have been more than three. Two games in four days against superior opposition was always going to be a tough ask and Dundee's high tempo pressing and slick passing ran the legs off them.There were some very tired players by the end. On the basis of our two games I would say Dundee have the  edge over United.they look a bit more secure at the back quicker to close down in midfield and Moussa looks  a bit of a player. Should be a cracking game at the weekend,looking forward to it.
