Typical home fare from us, no cutting edge. We actually were better than we were in the first half and the Pars must have wondered why they were trailing at half time. Good jump by Foran to knock it down for Proc who reacted quickest to stroke the ball home. Esson made a fantastic save in the first half, which was equalled in the second half when Pars keeper tipped the ball onto the bar and over. Rooney although he did not score, at least offered a direct threat, but his one on one was not an obvious sitter as the keeper narrowed him down and blocked well as his goalbound effort was cleared. Pars goal from a quick corner caught us out, but Kirk's finish was good as his header maybe went over Esson and off the bar and into the roof of the net.
Foran was not a happy bunny when subbed, and appeared to toss his jacket away, not surprised as he was warming up nicely, I wonder if Butch thought he was getting tooooo involved, however, wrong move in my book.
We will be happier with the draw than Dunfy, as their passing game was better than our long ball game. Bayne was a handful, as was their left back. Sorry, not big on names just now. They were slicker around the box, just as they were in the opening fixture, but this time Coxy could not pierce the defence. We look like a team of individuals, maybe something Butcher should be looking at. The big disappointment was Hayes injuring himself innocuously and Imrie's rather insipid performance. Rossco went quiet after being booked, no surprise there.
All is not lost, but we look a very long way from being a decent first division side.
Best for us................Esson for that breathtaking save, Foran for puttiong himself about and Proctor for his goal and general play.
