    Mental. I keep hearing Lewis is gash, and boy behind me Today reckoned Hanlon was f'ing murder.....That was of course before his goal line clearance....Wonder why some bother attending to be honest, everything we did was apparently crap.....

    Boy near me kept shouting at Oxley to come for every long throw, even though he would have had to batter through a ruck of players and most were nowhere near enough to his goal.

    credit where it's due, i don't get to every game but i thought hanlon played very well and probably our mom(imo)or even bartley, quite an off day for McGinn though his passes were all over hit, still he's only a young laddie

    Paul Hanlon defended admirably and that is what he is best at.
    We do not need him attempting raking 50yard World Cup balls. He can't do it.

    Fontaine doesn't look so assured but a clean sheet speaks volumes.

    The cretin behind me that shouted "Keeper! Keeper!" every time the ball went above grass needs his heed looked.

    Think Bartley will be an automatic starter all season. He stops teams breaking quickly on us.

    I think Oxley has had a very good season so far.

    Folk, including me, where doubting him because we seemed to have 1 or 2 chances against and concede and people kept saying they couldn't remember many good saves he made but he has already made some great saves this season.

    He has done enough to silence his critics and I'm glad to say I was wrong about him.

    The keeper, defence and big Bartley all did very well today.

    They were tested more than in any other game this season too and they stood up to every test going.

    (Whilst an argument could be made that it shouldn't be necessary) some of the last ditch defending really was top class.

    I agree that Zamber-Hanlon needs to cut out the magnificent diagonals, which are rarely magnificent and only serve to remind me of the Butcher era.

    I said to my son that Hanlon appears to think he's Gary Caldwell with all those 50 yarders. They're just as effective as GC ever was

    All 5 were solid, plus big Marv... Loved the 10 seconds second half where Hanlon made a block to stop the boy going through 1 on 1, then made two crunching tackles straight after... Always been a Hanlon fan and he always got labelled 'soft', I feel he dealt with The big lad very well when he came on!

    Home and away and no matter the formation, Bartley should play if fit.

    Defence defended well today. However, they might have had a bit less defending to do if their distribution had been a bit better. It was pretty brutal at times.

    Hard to disagree with that. Balls from defence seemed to miss the midfield out too often today. Which is clearly our strongest area

    Very interesting stat if accurate. For me anyway!

    I think most of cooments about the defence yesterday are spot on they defended really well at times with Hamlon in my view MOM ..I don't think his distribution was that bad and as for him stopping hitting long diagonal switch passes , I don't agree, we need it, as its on most of the times he tries it and in my view he has a decent success rate, it's a dimension we need. I thought Gray, Fontaine and Stevenson clearances were mostly very poor either going up in the air, out the park 10-20yards away or straight to the opposition to come at us again.
    Something we need to look at is the forwards defence work rate ...in my view the two we started with don't work opposition defenders who have the ball anywhere near hard enough and it happened all last season as well, hence not helping their team mates out. I actually get the feeling that they both save themselves for when we have the ball and even then I have to question how much they show then ! If you add the fact that they are missing too many good and essentially what is classed as easy chances, that others are working hard to create , I think Cummings & Malonga both need rockets up their backsides , as for me they don't pull their weight in the team overall. Cummings whilst being young and learning doesn't detract from him not pushing himself at times, I like him a lot but would to see him concentrate more at times on his touch n finishing. The conversion ratio for both must be about 1 in 6-7 chances is nowhere near good enough and doesn't ease the pressure on the defenceand won't do if we are to get promoted , hence why we need our other striking options fit.
    I don't blame AS for sticking McGregor on as an extra defender as he needed to respond to them sticking 3,big guys straight up top and throw high balls in all the time. What I didn't understand is Oxleys kick outs Gray, who wins more than his fair share in the air pushed up wide right and Oxley persisted in kicking the ball straight down their centre halfs throats and we got it straight back at us quick fire ...poor tactics in my view .
    End of the day we got a good win that could have been much easier if the forwards had done their jobs early doors , same theme every week !!??
