Very strange that so many players seemed to get injured during the 3 week winter shutdown. Not for the first time, do we need to ask questions about our training regime?

Depends on your definition of "missed". I reckon he had 6 chances: 1 scored, 1 disallowed (wrongly IMO), 1 saved well, 1 off the bar, 1 shot blocked, 1 sitter wide. How many chances did his strike partner have and how many did he score? Yes, Doumbouya could have had a hat trick, but he certainly gets himself in the right areas and he won us the game.

Disagree with some of the posts above - we bossed long spells in the game and could have won by a few. Elgin only had very few chances...although they v nearly equalised at the death! Cole was absolutely outstanding today - everything dangerous went through him and he also did defensive duties. Defence was solid - Polworth did OK in an unfamiliar position, but got megged a couple of times. Vigurs was frustrating as ever: Guilty for the goal, great free kick off the bar, decent spells and lazy spells. Boden is nowhere near it - even against lower league opposition, he looked dreadful. Anier shoild have started. Banana skin avoided!

Vigurs badly at fault for being dispossessed while doddling on edge of box just before free kick. From where I was standing, the Elgin goal looked like another really embarassing flap from OFW in missing weak free kick at near post (very like the lost goal to Hamilton a few weeks back). He can be a decent shot stopper in open play but seems so vulnerable at free kicks. We were fairly disjointed. Cole showed good skills at points and became the target for regular cross field long balls. Unlucky with chances missed (woodwork for Doumbouya header, Vigurs free kick). Elgin tired in the 2nd half (thankfully). We seemed scared of shooting on a number of occasions. Glad to see two upfront though and also pleased that Anier came on for Boden near the end (should have been earlier). He looked quite sharp. I think he should start with Doumbouya instead of Boden (who was disappointing today). Polworth playing at right back was caught out a few times today. Obviously not his position and the fans let him know but I was disappointed to hear swear back at the fans ... surely the cardinal sin for any player. Anyway we squeezed through and it's all about the result in the cup. Let's build on this.

A video clip of the Elgin goal by a "Northern Scot" Elgin press reporter. Described as fabulous free kick by BBC report. I beg to differ. Howler ...

Anyone know why we had several first team guys missing today - Horner, Draper, Meekings, King, Mulraney and Fisher? Surely they can't all we injured after a 3 week break?

Cheers IBM, that'll teach me to read the reports more closely - like Scarlet did

I put Llarnell Cole 6 pts outstanding motm by a country mile showed real class great piece of business keeping him till end of season 3 pts Carlos Tremarco great energy and drive. Player of the season so far 1 pt Doumbaya scored the goal that kept us in the cup.

Anyone know what the size of the crowd was? Soccerbase haven't published it yet...

Good report Scarlet I see Richie's beard has grown again since this afternoon

I'll still have the other over with me though. feel free to come over and say hi and help me put it up

You could only ever dream to have a striker of that calibre it was Elgin boys that got you up the leagues, always remember that!

Whats a boot to dee we it only boot i know is a few inversneckie wifeys ive seen youd think there bucket holes are as wide as a rubbeerrrr bumperrr whilst there rocking in there carrravan

Is this what S Montrose.... Cowdenbeath.... East Stirling.... Clyde......

So what happens when you take the worst ICT side ever and then remove the two best players? We're about to find out!

Can't agree with previous post. Doumbaya may have scored, but guilty of missing 2 gilt edged chances prior to scoring. He was ineffective and any headers he wins, he has no control or no idea where ball is going. Boden held up ball well IMO and brought others into game, but he provided little in way of goal threat. Overall I was disappointed in the performance, and didn't see any reason to be optimistic for the coming weeks. On another note, the young lads can provide fantastic vocal backing for the team and am generally all for them, but please stop with the flares, and the need to run 50 yards to a segregation fence for a bit of posturing. We as a club are better than that and don't need that kind of behaviour.

No worries there then I thought defence and midfield were immense today.

When ye reach the away end tomorrow, be sure to keep looking left as you pass the leisure centre! We may just have something for you!!!
