Good to get the win. What's happened to Sho Silva though? 

Looking forward to a long overdue win against them.

Absolutely and looking forward to next week's game now.

Apart from the trips to Dingwall I generally combine my away match journeys with visits to friends and relatives. So I will take the car and often go early or stay overnight in the likes of Glasgow, Perth or Edinburgh. That said if I did happen to travel by bus I would go with CJT.

BBC highlights clearly show Tobi was punched - watch the slo-mo replay. Okay is wasn't a heavy blow but I can't blame him for going down after the rough handling he got as soon as he got on to the field of play when Rossi started pushing and elbowing him for no reason.

In terms of Tobi's direct play and putting himself about I think he is the sort of player we have been missing up front since Richie Foran got injured. This and the gutsy performance from many others last night gives me confidence that we can kick on from here and climb the league. Seven games in but welcome to the 2015/16 Scottish Premiership season!  

We need Richie to get more playing time so he'll be 100% match fit in time for the rough and tumble of the C***ty game and beyond.

Back to business, here's my selection for tomorrow night.

Fon Williams

Raven - Meekings (if fit) - Devine - Tremarco

Christie - Draper - Vigurs - Williams

Storey - Foran

Subs: Esson, Horner or Vincent (if fit), Brown, Tansey, Wedderburn, Sho Silva, Lopez or Ferguson

It's gonna be tough with all the talent they have. Dare I say I would settle for a draw but we need 3 points.

First few clips I watched looked like they were from a Sunday amateur game in the local park.

Agreed! Agreed. Now go get him Yogi!!

Robbie Muirhead to Partick on loan from the Arabs. Another one missed?

If we bank £500k + for Christie surely we can afford someone of renowned goalscoring ability or just sign that Moroccan guy from the Pars.

Michael Stewart didn't sit on the fence on Sportscene either. Talked about big decisions made by Collum being questionable in a lot of matches, not just Hearts' ones.

Just heard that confirmed from another source with close connection to the club.  

Early bird ST purchasers were promised they'd be in a mass photo with players. I never heard any more about that.

What injuries do Meekings, Foran, Doran and Vincent have? 

I suppose I might have to post these questions on the Ask the Club forum.

Agreed. Jennifer Lopez would be better than Dani.

Vigurs did more in his first 5 minutes than the whole midfield before that point in the game. His first five touches/passes were impressive.

Vigurs signed this afternoon.

What next, Bobby Mann to make a comeback at centre half?

Unless our injury list decreases I reckon same team and subs as yesterday.

Riordan could hardly get a game for East Fife last season. Why waste the ink on the signing terms?

Poor highlights on Sportscene. Why am I not surprised? Patronising comments from pundits about Ryan Christie too after Yogi's comment that he will play for Scotland. 

I would hope so but we need them in quick. Do the parent club not pay half or more of the loanee's wages?

We're not bottom of the league.

We're above County in the table.

We didn't ship 4 goals like Killie and St Johnstone.

Our attendance was more than Hamilton's.

Owain Fon Williams and Mutombo.

You can add Dean Brill to that list too - 9 first team squad players ffs!

I must say I'm not happy with that especially after not having a recognised fit striker. Having just watched all the Premiership highlights on Sportscene we seem to be the only club that hasn't recruited any strikers. Our lack of attempts on target yesterday was a damning statistic. Okay we have new players who are attacking midfielders (Lopez, Roberts and Mbuyi-Mutombo) potentially capable of scoring but it is very worrying that we have never replaced Billy McKay. The loss of Gary Warren for most of the season is also a big blow for our defence along with all the pre-season injuries. While I hope I am proved wrong I really fear that even after one match we could be at the wrong end of the table for most of the season.

Rumour going round that Marley is to return - issues with him at Barnsley apparently.

I agree we didn't lose the tie due to match officials but it always seems that former Eastern Block reps give more favour to their former comrades. That's just one of the trials of European football. We should learn from that for the next time. This week has given us the thirst for more trips like it.
