    Definitely.
    Along with Hladky he's been our most consistent performer.
    Goodwin's back four selection today was the work of genius.
    The selection of Foley as a pairing with McLoughlin was a risk that paid off handsomely. Flynn has really developed as a RB and was really only bested once today. McGinn (P) continues to show his versatility.
    Obika caused them a load of problems today, as did Morias with his constant running down of players.
    Durmus had his best game for a while and his finish was excellent, as was Andreu's assist.
    Hladky was his usual assured self, and Magennis and MacPherson fought like terriers.
    A great result to take us into the winter shutdown.

    Great hard working win today. Goody has got them grafting hard for the points we get. But massive shout out for Sam Foley what a performance at centre half. Never put a foot wrong. MOM by a mile. Andreu. Flynn had great games. Morias and Obika worked really hard upfront. But we still need a goalscorer. But no failures today. But Foley deserves his win bonus. Coys.

    Great result today but it could have been so much easier. Obika and morias made great contributions but just don't look like strikers. Makeshift back four did really well. Cammy had a mixed game, great ball winning but poor passing. We give the ball away too easily and don't compete enough at times for 50:50 balls. However the goal was fantastic and with a true goalscorer we would have been out of sight today. Well done saints for sending everyone home happy especially given Hamilton result

    I would agree with Cammy playing full back.
    Personally I would play Morias wide right and have Foley and Magennis central with Durmus wide left. Up front I'd start with Cooke and Mullen.

    Before the first goal calamity l thought we played quite well and restricted them also creating a few chances ourselves. Second half was a bit of a non event with them playing in second gear most of the time but still dominating. We had some good passages of play but the gulf in class was there for all to see. We don't take our chances and give the ball away cheaply. When we break there is seldom a decent out ball for our midfield to deliver so we end up double backing. These are the same failures we are week in week out and the fact we are playing a top side today just underlines that. Happy we kept the score down and the last minute goal helping all round. Kilmarnock is an important game now to gain momentum on other strugglers. We are no great shakes but good enough to avoid relegation this season

    Nineteen winless league matches since we beat them 4-0 in 2010. In that time we've managed two draws, scored three times, lost 47. I am not hopeful of a win but what's to lose today? Yes watch the goal difference but have a go, get in their faces and give us something to shout about. It's a funny old game, you just never know the moment. I am so glad l was there in 2010. How many of us out there regret giving that game a body swerve?

    So six points gained to date then. Thankfully three away from home for first time. What l think is crucial is picking something from next two games. Two problems still face us. One we hardly score any goals even when we play well. Two our performances both within and between games is very unpredictable

    Funny old game isn't it? From BBC coverage we totally dominated second half. What an important result all round, especially with Livingston winning. These are the games that will shape our season. Congrats to Goodwin and the team given the makeshift set up today. You have rebuilt a little faith

    Shows what a bit of effort can do. Closed down well today and didn't give Accies time to look up - the complete opposite of Wednesday. If you are not having a great game at least some hard work can help the team. A few better last minute passes and thinner woodwork and we could have scored about 6.
    Morais looks a lot better playing in a bit of space - had an excellent game. And well done the makeshift defence. But lots of plaudits to Cammy McPherson who was playing in his natural position and his well taken goal.

    Bottom line... the hard truth that quite a few choose to ignore, or even worse dispute... is that we are a very poorly run club!
    Over three years since BtB and not one single new revenue stream has been created to bring funds into the club.
    The current board have got by on transfer income from players signed & developed by the previous regime.
    Kyle Magennis falls into that bracket too, but his stock will fall in an underwhelming team like ours.
    This board are on their FIFTH manager in three years and that could soon be six..!

    Isnt that the most telling fact that they cant get THEIR job right, so why should we, or they expect the people recruited by them to be any better?

    It's a bit harder to achieve at a smaller club like ours given employee numbers, but their needs to be a clean line in responsibilities between the board and the team management. Having the chairman deciding who we are going to spaff money on because he doesn't trust who he has employed is madness, and repeating the same flawed process time after time.

    And employing your mate to agree with you just sums up how little you know in running an effective organisation. Feck me how many years now have fans suffered a piss poor ticketing system?
    Wouldn't you think that would have been a priority to sort to keep the tills ringing?
    Nope.. more effort goes into selling out to sectarianism because that's easy, and it's a "Society Issue"...
    Goody will be in an impossible position come the end of the month with some of his better (dont laugh) players moving on, and being stuck with the ones he knows aren't up to it.
    Is it possible the likes of Oran might have wanted to take the Hladky money Qarabag were offering and invest it in 3 or 4 decent players?
    You know like one of those £5 -£10k a week guaranteed goalscorers?
    Instead we will likely be relegated, and Hladky will walk for nowt, or maybe a pittance in January.
    We are a poorly run club...
    What you are seeing on the pitch is the evidence of just how poorly run we are.

    Teams have figured out how we play and Jim isn’t adjusting to that. The last four games have seen teams target our left back area with high or diagonal balls with Waters being so small.
