Losing our first choice keeper, now our first choice centre half, yet they continue. If we keep this sort of strong defence going we make it very, very hard for other clubs in this division to stop us.

It's great to see Hibs, known as being so generous to other clubs, suddenly become miserly here. Well done Neil Lennon.

Long may it continue. A clean sheet will always guarantee at least one point.

Another one in two weeks time would do me. QoS are dangerous and Stephen Dobbie will be the man to watch.

Or as Sportsound call him: Scott Dobbie!

Whilst we've been really solid, I thought yeaterday was the first time in a while that we've really been tested defensively. Was a bit of a bombardment in the second half at times. Nothing pretty about it but there was some amount of balls chucked in to our box.

That's a great stat. The man's an absolute rock, as well as "one of our own".

Darren is a very good defender, he's commanding in the air, reasonably quick and won't be bullied by anyone on the field. An inspired signing by Stubbs.

One thing I have noticed over the last few weeks is how we close down players trying to get a shot away. Often throwing ourselves in to block the shot. Really cuts down attempts on goal.

Its at this time when we are ahead in the league, that we try harder to keep clean sheets!

If we get further in front, players will tend not to throw themselves at incidents as it can often cause injuries and result in missing games.

Nobody in this team will want to be injured and miss the run in to Championship success!

Just keep on slogging it out and its now ours for the taking!!!!!

Some statistic that. Most of us have always thought why on earth did the huns let him go? What a capture he's been. Brought Paul Hanlon's game on big time too. It's been great to have such a solid partnership at the heart of defence and when one of them are out we have decent replacements to cover in Fontaine and Forster. Great player.

The boy Ross Cochrane is a typical sniping bitter Yam.

Clean sheets usually signal an end to bed wetting.

It could be argued that bedwetting ultimately leads to clean sheets.

Certainly could. There can also be some false dawns before bed wetting is a thing of the past.
