Thought we played alright for the majority of the game, it’s mostly the same players as last season yet it looks at times that they’ve forgot how to play. There’s only so much you can pin on the manager players leaving passes short and general lack of creativity is down to the players, hopefully having seen the ball hit the back of the net and a win after a really tough afternoon will lift the spirits.

Such relief at getting through, not great to watch but we got there!!

Why then do I now feel such sustain towards this tournament? Ah that’s right, by this time tomorrow we will have been drawn against one of the ass cheeks! All of a sudden the pleasure has been drawn out of my day. 

Oh well, bring them on, oh and hopefully four new signings will be delivered before the next round.

A win is a win. First half better than the second. Hate all the square passes , back and forth. Makini was very good in the first half, He is the only Midfielder who will take the pass  and turn , Looks more composed on the ball. Weight of pass is good too. Sometimes our passing is to slow or perhaps its the tempo we play at.

But how many times did the longish pass from the centre backs miss its target. To often.

Young Innes did well in the first half , He is never going to be a Goal scorer though. He will learn how to play against big experienced defenders , But of course it developed into long hoof ball from the likes of Broadfoot and to be honest he is as accurate as a scatter gun with long passes.

We have asked for Brophy to have someone along side him and help him out, Well perhaps its early days but i thought the Wolf was more like a puppy today he was very poor. Bad touches, Never ran into space the whole game and his shooting was woeful. I hope we get in a decent Striker soon and it proves that a  lack of movement up front is the reason we can't seem to create chances in the box. 

Hopefully this is the start of our season. Glad it went to extra time. Wid huv got soaked if the game finished in normal time...lol

Another striker and a creative midfielder and we will be ok. 

Lot has been said about needing better strikers , rightly.so....but do agree there is vital need for that creative attacking central midfielder ....to give us more variety and to open up defences..other than just relying on crosses from out wide

Though El Makrini looked good today. 

Tidy on the ball, match fitness / sharpness improving. Showed a bit of urgency, got his foot in and covered a fair bit of ground. 

McKenzie was superb today. Started a bit shaky but grew into the game and looked our most likely. The substitution boggled the mind. 

Big Innes was a breath of fresh air. Counted four or five good solid headers. Much more like what we need up with Brophy. 

Lots of work to do, badly need a stiker and a 10, but still in the cup. 

Onwards and upwards. 

Mon the killie.

Hamilton are a brutal team to play against.

Agreed that Taylor was man of the match, played with real maturity and assurance. Ironically when Rory went off we lost a bit of Taylor’s effectiveness going forward.

El Makrini looked sharper and more willing to take a leadership role.

Well done to Innes for leading the line and being up for the battle.

SOD was a bit of an enigma. First half though he was very effective going forward but 2nd half he hugged the touch line at the halfway line a la Colin McKee of old!!

Agree we need a creative player who will change the balance of the team as well as a couple of strikers. Fingers crossed Angelo can pull a couple of rabbits out the hat.

Positives

1. El Makrini looks like he could be good player for us.

2. Taylor seems to be playing well.

3. We didn't concede.

4. My missus has made a mushroom risotto. 

 

 

Aye, that's it...thank f**k we won. 

5. The extra time win meant none of us had to walk home in the rain.
