    The pace and movement of Smith, Morgan and Reilly would terrorise any defence.

    The way Jack had the team set up ensured nobody was isolated and the forwards were given plenty of support.
    What a joy to watch.

    Morgan was unreal today. The United defence wanted nothing to do with him, but we've seen that time and time again, on form, the best player in the Division.
    I'd like to give special mention to Gavin Reilly, there wasn't a failure on the park for us today, but I thought Reilly's performance was a great reflection of the team overall. He worked tirelessly, a constant pest, never giving their defenders a second. He won more than his fair share against their central defender, despite giving away about half a foot and 3 stones to each of them. I think he played a very unselfish game putting the team and the result before himself and his own desire to score goals. He wasn't about goals today, he was there to disrupt their backline, make it difficult for them, force mistakes and allow us to win the second ball, let Smith and Morgon get beyond him  and open them up. He did it brilliantly, he looks to be a fantastic signing so far. Keep it up Gavin.

    The most enjoyable home league game in a long time... eclipsing the Hibs game of last season.
    Not a failure in the team.
    Mega kudos to Jack and James for setting the team up in a formation that suited our players and totally nullified the opposition.
    United are not that awful... we just made them seem that way by being so good!
    Morgan was the eye catcher... but in all honestly that was the most complete team effort I have seen in many a year.
    Captain McGinn was indeed Captain Marvel.
    To those who said he and McShane cannot play in the same midfield... any chance you could let the gaffer work on things in training and trust him? He signed McShane to play alongside McGinn!
    To those who wrote off Buchanan after a match or two... any chance you could let the gaffer work on things in training and trust him? His judgement has been pretty sound so far!
    Baird? Didn't even notice him... he was that quietly effective.
    Unsung hero of the match and my man of the match... Eckersley!
    The experience and stability he brings to the defence is incredible and essential. 
    The number of times he effortlessly covered for other players was incredible. His reading of the game quite exceptional.
    That the system today allowed both he and Stelios to perform was genius on Jack's part.
    Genuinely excited at the match today and BY that match today... a real statement of intent!

    Was very funny when Morgan ran past him at speed, looked like he may catch him for all of a fraction of a second and then gave up when Lewis hit the turbo, couldn't even get close enough to foul him.

    A magnificent Morgan masterclass to top off a fantastically dominant team performance. Special mention too for Baird, Buchanan and McShane who to me looks a smashing player despite others not being impressed. A real marker against the alleged favourites. We have to refuse anything under 500k for Morgan this week as surely we are under no pressure to sell. On that form he can rip this division asunder and earn a move to a proper top team.

    Brilliant performance today. Decided to go with my eldest and got our tickets 5 minutes before kick off. Went to the main stand for a change of view.
    Glad we made it.

    Every player was superb today and 3 nil doesn't tell the whole story.

    Long may the good form continue.

    We were superb today. Probably most comfortable we have been for a good while. Should have scored more would have been a better reflection on things.

    Comfortable day for Sammy, could good saves at 0-0. Seems much more confident than he did in pre- season.

    Back 3 all deserve credit, Buchanan was written off far too quickly. Baird strolled it. Eckersley is a fantastic player at this level.

    Liam Smith was excellent and works well with Lewis. Stelios a bit quieter than normal but always good for getting the fans on their feet.

    McGinn and McShane bossed it, good to see McShane get a good goal. Hopefully he will keep improving

    They couldn't cope with our forward players at all. Reilly puts in some shift every week, didn't work out for him today in terms of goals but he was all over their bombscare defenders. Smith is brilliant on the ball, would like to see him have a go from distance a bit more.

    Lewis Morgan on today's form is unplayable in this league and genuinely could be the difference between promotion and being also rans.

    Dundee Utd look poor, king and McMullan are absolutely gutless players, McDonald is finished, will pop up with the odd goal but he's done. Durnan is the worst football player I've ever seen, incapable of making the most basic of actions.

    Worth bearing in mind today's result was achieved without Gary Mac, Magennis and Harry Davies. Also squad players such as Hilson and Todd.

    -In Morgan,Reilly and Smith we have three skillful,ball playing forwards who can terrorise defences in this league with the right service.We also have three goal scoring options on the bench...Sutton,Duffy and Stewart
    -When all are fit,we have 4 centre halves who are way more than just competent
    -we have 4 full backs,who can also get forward 
    -In midfield we have the colossus Mcginn,and soon Mcgennis
    -We have a manager with an eye for a player,passion.and a solid grounding in the Scottish game
    -And we have ..........the Maverick,Super Stellios

    For me the most pleasing thing about today was Gavin Reilly ,some of the abuse he got from Pars and on here was totally unwarranted .
    we must rid ourselves of criticising players before giving them a chance to settle in.

    Bloody brilliant today.
    Sutton supetb, Reilly excellent on left wing, Smith great through middle.
    Special mention to Samson. After first minute howler, made a great one on one save. If Falkirk had gone 2 up it was game over.
    Top atmosphere from fans too, well done the flags and drums lads.
    North Bank has to stay black and white only for ever.
