Spot on with the comments about the ref. Gave Livingston a very soft penalty and booked Porteous but never booked Bartley for the Hibs penalty. Bartley was lucky to be on the pitch after his challenge on Hanlon.
Rocky was safe and solid but a few of his kick outs were poor. Overall a great win and performance

Great read as always, agree especially on the point about Marciano's distribution, I commented on it against Killie last weekend too, it really does seem to be improving a lot

As ever, a great piece of writing.
I’m glad you picked up on Richard Gordon’s sniffy attitude to Doidge. He, along with Preston have taken that attitude from day one of last season. Perhaps they are unaware of his stats.
I listened to Sportsound yesterday from the start. It took them until 1459 hrs to mention Hibs, so busy they were obsessing over Aberdeen’s debacle.

Have little or no time for anything he has to say. I don’t understand his gripe at a striker scoring goals?? A goal is a goal. I’d be really concerned if Doidge wasn’t getting into these positions.

Still think the worst refereeing decision was seconds before Doidges goal. How on earth is that not a penalty on Porteous? The guy isn't even looking at the ball, he just mauls Ryan to the ground.

I thought we had TWO shouts for a penalty before we scored , The ref defo never played advantage , He was yards away from both incidents , Refereeing is brutal

Great report as always John.
Thought the penalty was harsh on Porteous and he could have had one of his own in the incident leading to Doidge’s goal - but instead of complaining he had been wrestled to the ground, he got up and showed good determination to help set it up.
Agree with you about Horgan too - he’s too often anonymous but not against Livvy yesterday. Showed a great willingness to track back and two good assists.
Doig looking promising and while all the plaudits go to Nisbet, deservedly so, I thought Doidge’s workrate was unbelievable.
Great to see so many players getting way beyond pass marks.

That and the failure to give Bartley a second yellow for the foul on Hallberg and by all accounts a straight red for Hanlon challenge!

Fantastic win at a very difficult place to go.
Took is 20 minutes or so to really get going and if fans were there we might have heard a couple of moans coming from the fans. Hanlon barged off the ball by the striker who flashed it across our goal then McGinn heading it out for a corner with no real pressure springs to mind.
After that though we were brilliant and really controlled the game. That’s 2 games in a row now that we have looked really solid and I have felt that even whilst the opposition may have the ball or putting in crosses, we are more than capable of defending it.
Gogic and a Porteous make a massive difference, both are absolute warriors who wins anything that comes near them and genuinely appear to love that side of the game. McGinn and Hanlon were also brilliant and solid throughout. Doig a lot better than last week, still think he’s holding back a bit and not as confident as he should be but that will come.
The midfield for me was very pleasing as even with 4 in it, we rarely had gaps between the players and we played with real intent everytime we got it. Newell really gets around the pitch well and the balance is a lot better than previous seasons.
Doidge and Nisbet were brilliant and they really worked the whole Livi defence all game.
I feel like this season it won’t be the most amazing, scintillating football we have ever seen every week however when we go forward it will quick, direct and clinical . Defensively we will give nothing away
I really like what Jack Ross is doing and 10/10 for his navy t shirt and chino combination .
