It wasn't the most exciting game of football, but I came away with a smile on my face not just because we won, but because of the manner of the win. What I saw on Saturday was a really solid, professional team performance. We've not seem many of them of late. Players worked hard and were disciplined, they kept their shape and there was not the kind of niggling between team mates which has been creeping in recently. They worked hard for each other and you could see how much that win meant to them when the final whistle went. Dundee didn't look great but there's an old adage that you play as well as you are allowed to play. Dundee were chasing the game after our early goal but only managed 6 attempts at goal and one on target. To a very significant extent, that's a reflection of how well we did in stopping them playing. Sure they had more of the possession but they could do very little constructive with it and we were disciplined enough to stand off them and keep our shape. When we regained possession we also seemed a bit sharper on the break than sometimes. We always looked more likely to get the 2nd goal and the only disappointing thing for me was that we didn't get the 2nd goal our team performance deserved. Just to add that it is a shame nobody has voted for Kevin McHattie in the POTY poll. He doesn't often get into the starting line up but he had a very solid performance.

Honestly I am totally bewildered by your observation. So half glass empty attitude imo. We didnt need to capitalize on the goal we needed to keep a clean sheet and win the game which is exactly what we did. I can understand the anger after Arbroath but cannot for the the life of me understand the negativity after Saturdays performance. Some of our fans really like to micro manage the team, wonder if they would like the same done to them in their workplace. I somehow think not. It really is just depressing on here at times.

Rig we had shipped 6 goals in 2 games, so Im a bit surprised you didnt see the good performance on Saturday. We go one up in 16 mins and managed to keep the lead for the rest of the game with the team fighting and defending in an organised fashion. We went top of the league a few weeks ago against Alloa and were unable to keep the lead for 5 mins then went into a slump culminating in the shambles against Arbroath Saturday was back to the fighting spirit we showed in the play off games last season, I for one thought in the circumstances of a virus running through the club was an outstanding performance and could be pivotal in defining our season. 2 clean sheets in a row, through to a semi final , 3rd in the league compared to 4th ,more points this year compared to last year at game 14 and the fighting spirit back. Whats not to like Rig ? Of course we are not brilliant but lets face it neither is Scotland national team but we are only 2 games away from qualifying for a Euro final. I feel the same about us if we can follow this up with a win at Alloa we are on our way to the premiership playoffs and the win against Dundee will have been the turning point to get us to second spot. We are then capable of getting to the final and one game against premiership opposition will cap an incredible season. Its not all about pretty football its all about character and we had that in abundance on Saturday. Saturday to me was exactly the opposite to the feeling I had at Arbroath. I got my belief back We need you to get your belief back too because you are one of the best posters on here. Keep believing?

What a shame that they did not unite - A free bottle of Irn Bru AND a free Caramel Wafer would have drawn a huge crowd.

If they do start playing better and scoring more goals that would be good. Currently in third and not firing on all cylinders yet. Onward and upward ?
