That's more like it!

Terrific display today. Back four were immense, very impressed by mcmillan and perry. Goian is looking like a solid buy and Wallace handled humphry well all afternoon. Davis looked back on top form again and wylde reinforced why he should be starting on the left every week. Ortiz looked far more comfortable on the right and although he's not the pacey winger I hoped he'd be, looked like an intelligent player. Laffery also showed us what we've been missing but Naismith for me was the clear motm. He's such a vital player for us now.

Great result at a very tough ground, especially given our selection problems. More of the same on Thursday please!!

dont think edu woud have affected the result today tbh. As iv always said, jig is the weak link in there. edu can play well in the middle with davis, yet jig in there with either, we slow right down.

I think edu is unfairly targeted, however after Naismith in the middle today we cannot drop him surely!

Ps: We are top of the league

Naismith is suspended for Thursday I think edu will be straight back in no doubt.

Hopefully Wilde gets a start but with Edu back and possibly McCulloch it'll be back to the usual with Davis right Ortiz left big mistake in my opinion. McMilllan may get a shout for Thursday thought he done really well today

I think if Naismith is suspended, then he will just play Edu there. I'm sure he will keppe everything else the same.

The way we went to a midfield 5 without the ball and the way we defended seemed to me to be a practice game for Thursday.

I also hear McCoist interview after and he sounded giddy, as if he's just cracked it. He never said as much though, just said only 3 points etc.

'keep' even

CGCM I'm hoping he does keep it much the same.

Perry done well but Bocanegra will certainly be back I would imagine.

The 2 boys in defence have obviously played with each other quite a bit so you just wonder if it would effect their performance if either played alongside someone that had just came in.

With Naisy out and Edu back surely we can still play Wylde left and Ortiz right.What about McKay as a midfielder in the near future,or is he cover?
Today's defence looked good and hope McMillan gets a run alongside Perry or Bocanegra.Goian and Wallace add experience and power.


Ally may have cracked it,by chance or planning........who cares Bears.

Not seen anything of McKay to make a call to be honest but my feeling is he will be cover. Ness has really impressed me and I would imagine he'll be in more often than not if he can stay fit, which seems to have been a bit of a problem with him.

Long may we continue producing these guys and hopefully McCoist see's fit to play them more often.

I forgot about Ness,fool that I am,as the lad is out so often.We have some decent young guns around and I pray Ally let's them loose on the SPL and Mirabor.
Pace and skill have been lacking in recent times.

Today might have been just one game, as he said, but he'd be a fool to ignore the contribution the youngsters made today and to be fare he did acknowledge it after the game, but hopefully he shows that in his team selection too.
