Just back from the game. Fantastic spirit and fight shown by the team today. We were very stretched in terms of players and this is evident from the fact we only fielded 6 subs. Whole team played brilliantly today. Esson made a few very good saves and you could see how much the victory meant to him in particular. Stuart Duff who moved to right back when Proctor went off injured had a solid game and I can't sing the praises of Munro and Tokely enough. They were solid, won ever header and Munro in particular giving great support to young Shinnie at left back who got caught a few times but in the full had a good game. Duncan was solid and passed the ball well when we got the ball down. Nick Ross who was forced to play alongside Duncan in centre midfield slotted in well and didn't look out of place. Really special praise for MOM Eric who had his best game in my opinion since moving to the club. Worked hard, always getting into space, good touch, good awareness and great finishing for both goals. Rooney was quiet but worked hard, was great having Foran, who captained us, back but it's obvious he's lacking match fitness and Hayes tried very hard but was often marked out the game, although he played a brilliant pass for the second goal.

First half neither team got a grip of the game and we were guilty of long ball after long ball. Esson made a brilliant save at his near post to keep us in it at halftime. Scored the goal and we calmed down and got the ball down and moved it a little more. Second goal was a great team move involving Hayes and Eric with a really composed finished.

Really important win for us today after the Celtic game on Wednesday. Let's just hope we can build on this and take this into the Aberdeen match and get another victory to fire us into the top six.

Didnt enjoy the last 7 minutes at all, even though we had good chances to kill it aswell.

All in all, good day out, good singing support, and everyone was behind the lads.

Safe journey up the road those who came from Inverness to the game :twothumbsup:

Nick Ross played in the middle when he came on??

I know we won the game and all that, but surely Morrison or McBain would've been a more natural choice to play in the middle of the pitch; considering both have more experience playing there.
