one of the best performances ive seen at tcs. the midfeild pairing of draper and morrison was out standing. i think drapers the most combatitive midfeilder ive seen and morison just took on the duncan role, he was neat and tidy and didnt put a foot wrong freeing the rest of the team up to play.
andy shinnie was fantastic in the second half, as soon as they took ritchie ryan off who seemed to have the task of man marking him he ran riot. he won about 5 free kicks in the build up to his goal, then followed the ball in to get on the end of uniteds mistake. phillip roberts looks as near to the complete article for a winger weve had in a long time. great cross, great finish and a great work ethic and doran ran them riot on the right.
but foran up front was the best ive seen him play at spl level at least, can he be beaten in the air, i thought dundee utd would have to put jon daly at the back to compete with him at one stage. you think hes to far away then two huge strides and a giant leap and hes there, its quite something to behold should probably send tourist to fort george to see it in training through the week have a wee viewing galery.
gary warren is for me the best centre half weve had since darren dods, totally compsed but also totally reliable, havnt been able to flaw him yet.
josh meekings had no problems at all and david raven hardly seen a pair of heels all afternoon.
the only downside to this game was esson gettiing injured in the warm up, i think its a recurrence of what he suffered last season in the warm up against aberdeen. it was pretty routine he was practising his kicking and on the last one he pulled up, he knew that was it and was clearly devestated but it was great to see foran go over and console him the whole team handled it brilliantly.
bring on the county, cant fecking wait!
