    Absolutely fantastic performance - when we chip in with goals from other areas  it helps considerably
    Always looked a threat going forward and defensively looked very secure 
    Every game is big - but huge huge game against Dundee in the context of securing a top 6 berth 👌👌

    I was delighted with the performance today. Not the result I wanted, obviously, but it was a spirited effort from the team and we created chances and made a game of it.  
    We were unlucky not to get a point. We need to take our chances, but on another day we'd have found the net.

    That’s it official now; on loan to Utd for the rest of the season.
    Hope he gets the extra game time that he’ll be looking for and develops his all round game further. No questioning his attitude/work rate and he has scored some decent goals for us. 
    Good luck Alex👍.

    Hopefully the manager has seen enough to realise that Fraser, Bolton and Taylor with Tanser and Elvis at wing back can cope and finally get Gogic back in to midfield.

    Sore one. Strange set up from Robbo to start with. Having Flynn and Boyd-Munce (who doesn’t look fit) who are not mobile, matched up against Celtic’s central 3 seemed mental. Surely move Gogic in there and Dunne or Bolton into CB. Olusanya unlucky with the red but was a red nowadays. Noticed there was a high Celtic boot in the second half and not even a foul. The ref’s obstruction of a saints player and waving play on when it stopped a great break was a joke as well. Can’t blame the ref for today though. 
    Positives were Taylor, Bolton, Hemming again, Gogic again, it was only 3 goals and Elvis did ok when he came on.

    We have a great group of guys all fighting for each other and giving 100%. Yes we will slip up and go through tough patches but if we can repeat our overall performance over the second half of the season we can land that European place ……………. given where we have been before Robbo came in, just let that sink in !

    Just watched the highlights. Fantastic result.
    Fantastic timing of a run by the captain for the opening goal.
    The penalty? Shocker. Lack of confidence evident. Confident Mark would have scored. Over to Kiltie for the spot kicks but full support for O'Hara. None of this dropping him for his own good crap. He's out Captain. Support him through this dip in form. It's the same player who had us third in the league for so long.
    The game was good viewing. We were clinical in attack and stoic at the back. Yet another great goalkeeping performance. 
    Fully deserved all three points. COYS

    Not long in but what an enjoyable day. Thought Gogic and Taylor were superb. Must admit when we .missed the penalty I was concerned but we recovered really well. Got up and down the road with no problems. All sorts of warnings but no problems. Weather seems to have been worse here. Bloody freezing though. Best away day for a while.

    Caught the first half on 'Open All Mikes' but then visitors popped in and I missed the second half.
    You could have blown me over with a feather when I saw the final result especially after our penalty miss.
    What a great result - probably the best of the season.
    And well done the players for rolling up their sleeves when the chips were down.

    The post by Balmullo Bud pretty much sums up my view. I'd just add that SR's post-match comments were treading a fine line between giving an honest summary of the game and trying to keep our players' confidence up. He mentioned the gaps in quality and budget between the sides and indicated that he was looking for one of the strikers to start scoring regularly. Gave the impression that he was revolving the starting strikers to see if someone could seize the jersey, as has been mentioned on here.
    On to Wednesday and we need to get a big crowd into the ground, as Killie will surely bring a decent support given their recent run of form. So, as always.......

    Robbo hinted at a shake up in selection and that he had been perhaps too loyal - I think we are losing the midfield battle in too many games and I wouldn’t be against giving Bolton a chance and pushing Gogic into middle of the park. Would go with Ayunga and Olusanya up top with Ohara playing more forward. Right hand side is a concern though as we are missing Strain badly and having to play guys out of position.
    Game v Killie is now massive so let’s get behind the team and hopefully we can get back on track with 3 points.0£

    Wasn’t hopeful of getting anything today as our away form is shocking, as it was last season and Hearts have been on a good run. Didn’t see the game but the live updates and stats don’t look horrendous.
    Big O’Hara is a worry. We know he’s a really good player, was brilliant for us last season, but it’s either confidence or he’s carrying an injury or both. He’s our captain and an important cog in the team. Maybe a rest and regroup coukd see the player we know in the new year. We are missing Strain too and Baccus will be a miss next month. 
    Even with the fat lazy Shankland we had years ago you could see he had quality. He was the difference between the teams today, as well as a massive difference in budget. 
    Killie game is massive now. Hopeful that we can get a result. Motherwell game was poor but thought we played really well against county. Big crowd and atmosphere will hopefully kick us on against an improved Killie side. We need to keep our heeds and find some goals from somewhere.

    Adams' ill-judged post match criticism is hardly likely to motivate his own players - but opposing teams might have a point to prove when playing Ross County..
