Fucking shambles. Easy a goal as you'll see.

Are Barron and Clarkson meant to be in front of ramadani or are they all just running about in there?

Big result. Great finish from miovski which was pretty much his only contribution of the day. Boy needs to seriously hit the gym. Duk was excellent and unlucky not to score more. McKenzie looks back to his best and the three in the middle done a great turn in the first half Special mention to Stewart for Having big kev in his pocket. Subs were bizarre for me but we got the points. The well controlled the second half and we didn't really seem to have an alternative plan which was worrying. Thankfully the duk is on fire.

Great finish from Duncan. Coulson was first class tonight too. Felt for Ramirez. Had a couple of half chances but basically went on after Clarkson was pulled and then they swapped Duk, leaving him with Morris and Kennedy. Haaland would struggle in that top three. really disappointed with vinni tonight. I thought this was the kind of game that he'd light up. all in all, you have to be delighted with 4-1 despite its feeling like we never really got second gear.

Thistle panicking now. More goals incoming hopefully.

Have to say, the jags are easy on the eye. Be nice to see us move the ball that nicely.

Glad Duk continued to improve in the second half. Despite the run I thought miovski got bullied today and bottled the only real chance he had. Loved Jim punching him in the ribs at the end of the game. Hopefully giving him a ribbing about the miss. ( Let's hope the HR department miss it ) As above scales was good and McKenzie is just a winner. His attitude creates that first goal. Be interesting to see if he can keep coulson out of the team.

Miovski still not cutting it for me. Time to get Ramirez on the pitch and make bojan earn his spot back. Contrary to my early beliefs. Duk looks to be improving every game.

Good result. I thought the midfield and forward areas looked good today. Mcrorie played well at the back. Begs the question. Would anyone else bring in scales and play McRorie RCB instead of El capitano ? I think when Barron is fit, he takes over at 10 and Vinnie goes where Marley was.

I think this should put a tin lid on those pining for a McInnes return.

Outstanding from coulson

Ps I almost called it. Thought we'd have the quality to get it done in 90

Just got in. Where's miovski?

I've seen Annan a few times over the last couple of seasons. Robust, on a tight astro pitch. This is not a game for the likes of Vinnie or leighton. It will be very physical encounter. Maybe a nice outing for Duncan. We should have the quality to win it by a couple of goals but we'll have to graft for it. Some of their defending borders on agricultural.

Granted he improved after the penalty. However against ten men, you wouldn't have bet against Ramirez scoring either with the chances being created. Well Ramirez last season before jim decided to try to make him leave.

Squeezing mcrorie in. I think it's clear that Clarkson is the best of the three. The other two should be fighting for a place, freeing up space for a number ten. If he's not better than ramadani, he should be dropped.

Were only ten minutes in I know but how the hell can't Ramirez get a game in front of miovski. He's been little below mediocre since he's arrived

We've brought in bags of pace but move the ball out of the back so slowly that the opposition have filled the gaps after big Tony tries to nutmeg three players and then past it forward.

Motherwell just going man for man and we don't seem to have the tactical nouse to change things.

With a fit Barron, I see no need for Ronan. Vinnie can play 10 and I’m sure the geordie messi could also be back up in there. I think Watkins will go with mclennan but we have a wealth of wingers. if Ramirez goes ( which I hope he doesn’t ) we need another striker in as I’m still not convinced by miovski at this point and in my humble opinion DUK is the new Curtis main. Literally tries to run through people. I don’t even know if we really need another centre half as for me mcrorie is a limited midfielder. Great energy, poor passer, poor creativity. I’d be surprised if clarkston doesn’t play ahead of him in there once up to speed and Ross drops back.

I know we're all supposed to think miovski is brilliant but Ramirez would've had three or four from those chances so far.

Hunger to win the ball is night and day from previous seasons.

I'll fetch my coat

We've got about 3 million wingers and we've gone with the two that have consistently failed to deliver for two seasons

I know it's early but we need the points from this to avoid starting a run of poor form. This is the marker for the season and will tell people if were contenders or strugglers. I think we should have too much for the saints without Ronan but if we don't get the points, I'd start to be concerned.
