Not an encouraging performance in many regards against United. Seems like harrying us in the park with any degree of ability absolutely throws our passing off.

The way that Safranko and others pressed from the front on Saturday would cause the vast majority of Premiership teams a lot of trouble. Safranko is a big upgrade on Craig Curran in that respect and his workrate must inspire the rest of his team to pull their finger out.  He must be a nightmare to defend against.  I don't see why more full-time teams in the Champ don't go for a high-tempo strategy like that.  County themselves were excellent at it in the first few months of the 15-16 season, and that early season form went a long way at securing the top six finish in the Premiership.

 I wouldn't criticise Ross County too much  for being more loose with their passing when they are harried like that, although Fontaine is/was too much of a long ball merchant and that played into United's hands.

Haven't seen it reported anywhere yet but apparently Liam Fontaine is out for the season with ankle ligament damage.

Confirmed to be out for around 6 months with a ruptured achilles. Close enough.
