Saints (a) Fred


CB

Recommended Posts

Thought we were excellent. Started brilliantly and Saints could have had no complaints if we'd scored three or four. Longstaff and McKenzies pressing game was superb and led to the opening goal. Saints weren't in it in the first half hour. They got more involved towards the end but never put us under pressure.

Second half Saints were more into it. Felt we played more on the back foot. We defended well and didn't give them clear cut chances. Got the second at a really important time with a little help from their keeper. From that point the game fizzled out.

There were a few iffy moments with another new back four but they grew as a unit. The midfield three of Dicker, McKenzie and Longstaff were superb. Didn't stop running for 90minutes and really dominated their opponents. The two wide players did well. Up to support Boyd but helping their fullbacks as well. Boyd put in a great shift. Often against three CBs he did the running we don't associate with his game and good hold up and link play.

I felt McCulloch got things spot on. Only criticism was maybe he could have put Tyson or Umerah on for Boyd who was done in after about 75mins.

I thought there was a wee bit of pressure building up on us before this game after Caley's win last night. A defeat in Perth would have led to a whole lot of mumping and moaning. It sounds like a pretty good performance as well as a great result, so that should give us something to build on. We did ourselves a bit of good today and I'm looking forward to next Saturday already.

Agree with those saying next week become vital, lets us open up a gap and even if we don't make top 6, we should still be safe by the split. Always a bit worried about playing a team that's just been humped, even last season Gary Locke's killie responded after being humped, but would be extremely satisfying to be the team that costs McGee his job.
