Have read all the posts on the Match thread and I can see that all lot of peeple may have been carried away wiv the elated aftermath of the game but - as per usual - I will provide a post alcohol haze summary:
FRASER :D :D Hardly had a thing to do becos of a solid defence but his distribution was draedful at times. He has to do a bit of Target golf like practising with his kick outs.
ROSSCOE :thumb04: :018: ;) Sooperb - hopefully he realises that he has to maintain that level of performance with peeple breathing down his neck. But he was a "tower" today and won every 50/50 ball tha was going and played some great through balls as well - wish somebody could grab a clip of the brilliant individual foray in the first half - if he had scored it would have been the best feckin goal ever.
MAGUIRE :015: :D :P Not one of my favourites but he was the mainstay of the defence yesterday. He led the line brilliantly and Rosscoe and Dicky were with him all the way. Ya could also see that he was marshalling young Duff throughout as well. The defence held its highest line it has done in years. Plus Maguire was a constant offensive thereat in the air from dead ball situations.
DUFF :021: :D :D Potential yes - endeavour yes - aerial prowess yes - positional sense will learn. The lad looked the business yesterday and won nearly evry aerial challenge and put himself about. However he almost got caught three times in the first half when the forward got goal side of him and fortunately the through ball was poor and he got to all of them. Still he is only young and will learn and wont let us down if called upon.
HASTINGS :D :D :D Solid enuff defensively but he still gives me the jitters and his distribution remains hoofish. All the Falkirk threat came from their right and Dicky.
VIGURS :D :D :D I really like the look of this lad. Would be great to see what he could do on the left !! (see ma tic tacs post). Full of running and skill to boot.
BLACK :D :D :D :D Commanding, always looking for the ball, defended and tackled well, distribution was excellent - played the "playmaker" role to the tee.
ROYSTER :D :D :D :D A one man feckin midfield yesterday - Bet he couldnt maintain that feckin role fer too long - How many feckin yards did he cover yesterday - he was popping up all over the place yet still appeared to maintain his position !!
COWIE - Would be gerat to see what he could do on the right. Quietish first 20 but came to life thereafter. His pace always threatened. Scored a goal when ya thought we would struggle to find the net.
WOOD :D :D Sorry but he is NOT SPL yet - has to work on his pace and movement. He is a big lad who can certainly hold up the ball well but needs more time - good squad player.
ROONEY :D :D :D I suspect and/or I feckin hope that he is not yet match fit. He was off the pace yeterday but showed enuff to say that if he hits fitness he will be an asset - appeared to know what position to move into but slow getting there.
BARROWMAN :D :D :D :D His introduction won us the game eventually. He had more moveement in his short time than Wood and Rooney combined - He could certainly play the lone striker role away from home.
BAZZA / IMRIE :D :D :D Their arrival simply brought that extra bit of edge and determination. Feckin cracking finish from Imrie.
