Staying in a Perth overnight after game. Best performance for a while, with a strong backing from a large away support. Two well taken goals. Ridgers had a comfortable game with two great saves. Raven and Tremarco dependable at full back. Donaldson led the line well, and he and Mckay rarely troubled. I particularly liked Donaldson's celebrations at full time, showing his displeasure of his former team and leading the praise to the Caley fans. All the midfield did well. Mulraney had a tremendous first half and an assist. Vigurs pulled the strings and scored a well taken goal. Polworth was in the mood, with some great moves. Chalmers was a revelation, and did extremely well. Great to hear the fans chanting for all four of them during the game. Baird and Bell were busy, with Bell taking his goal well. Of the subs, Trafford looked assured, Cooper held the ball up well, whilst Oakley was just a cameo appearance. No complaints about any, but the stand outs for me were Donaldson, Chalmers, Vigurs, Polworth and Bell. I didn't see last week's game, but this was the best I've seen this season by a long way. Well done to the team and management. Dundee United were poor, so hopefully we can get a result against Dunfermline and keep the run going. Four clean sheets too! And that's me still unbeaten given I missed the home defeats for various reasons! I genuinely feel we are turning he corner. We need a big, noisy, supportive crowd next week!

Agreed on that. Have Warren and Donaldson played together as a two man central defence this season? Could be our strongest pairing.

Vigurs and Polworth both played well by all accounts. I agree with the above two posts. Also, did Mulraney do much better today? Three attempts and hitting a post implies he did. I know there were sceptics when he signed, but Donaldson seems to be having lding our central defence together. I have been surprisingly impressed by him given the negativity when he was signed. Keen to hear from those who made it to Falkirk.

Good news.
-
Is he not out on loan at present?
-
Injury list getting longer. No Fon Williams, Warren or Trafford in addition to the long term absentees. Same starting 11 as last week but with Ridgers in for Fon Williams probably. I'd rather see Oakley start in preference to Baird, but midfield could be an issue. Play Vigurs deep with Polworth, Calder and Cooper? That would make it: Ridgers Raven Mckay Donaldson Tremarco Vigurs Cooper Polworth Calder Oakley Bell Would be good to see young MacKay come on again during the second half.

That's true, I never did take to Foster, despite who his girlfriend is (Amy MacDonald).

Help!!

Last season, the two St Johnstone players who had the punch up on the pitch had to sit beside each other (looking happy) when they played us here in their next game. I was a few rows behind enjoying it as they got some stick. It worked for them, so can work for our guys.
-
I tend to encourage them to put it wide to Tremarco!
-
I see Coll Donaldson has made the SPFL team of the week.
-
Hopefully the incident is behind them now and may act as an impetus to Polworth to become more influential on the park. As others have said, a goal and an assist would normally be seen as a good shift. He and Vigurs probably suffer stick for different reasons, but they can be key for us this season, given the general quality around them, I also want to see more from Trafford as there looks to be potential there.
-
I was in the main stand, saw that and applauded the play. Yes, there may be some who are overly critical, but don't tar the majority with the same brush.
-
Agreed!
-
I've given young MacKay three for around four minutes on the pitch, both for his performance and energy, and for reminding us there is hope for the future!
-
It didn't work last season, I was at all home games except the two against Celtic, when I was on holiday and then working, so I am not the cure to our problems! I keep trying to get my wife to come to games, her record is two wins out of two: the cup final and St Johnstone last season, but she keeps refusing!
-
I don't want to tempt fate but, due to family commitments, I missed the Falkirk, Dundee United and Livingston games. As a result, I have seen four games, two wins, two draws, 7 goals for and only 1 against. In such a poor run, I am either lucky or unique.
-
If that's what happened, it's disgraceful, and not justified even in the heat of the moment. Hopefully it can be sorted out very quickly without damage to the player or club. This is the last thing we need the way this season has started.
-
He did as his child starts school next year so he wants to be settled. Shame, though, as his experience could be key behind the scenes as well as on the park. Shame Nick Ross won't sign on a short term deal whilst training here. I hope his ambition to play abroad comes to fruition and his career does not stall.
-
This poll is for last week's game. Today's is not up yet. I agree though, MacKay was a breath of fresh air in his five minutes on the pitch.
-
Courier says a bust up between Polworth and Kellacher. I was unaware of it at the time.
-
It was announced, a poor 930.

I agree with the assessment of Doofers Dad. After the early goal, we were second best throughout the first half, but the second was better. Another clean sheet is a positive, but Fon Willliams had a couple of saves and Peterhead wasted a couple of chances. That said, we missed several when we should have done better. Some decent fairly fast forward moves in the second half, including the two goals. Defensively we still look shaky at times, with Donaldson the pick of the bunch. Tremarco will hopefully return to his best soon, Our midfield did not seize control. Some individual good points from each of them, but not consistent, and not always tracking back when we lost possession. I like Bell, and was surprised he was taken off. Baird was busy but not really effective. The highlight was young MacKay. In fairness he should have put Baird in when he ran forward with the ball, but who can blame him for trying to score. But only a moment later he did get his goal. I hope he kicks on and becomes our next home grown talent, and his enthusiasm and impact encourages Robertson to give others a chance. It was not a 3-0 game, but winning was important, and hopefully we can start to win points in the league, but three tough games looming!

Some promising displays there!

What was the score? Any stand out performances!
