Very proud of the team. Great 2nd half performance, lots of chances, lots of good finishing.

 

Siroki was not up to much but they were spoiling stuff.

 

Need to step up now for Apollon - they will be better but play like that and we can go through to Play off.

 

Impressed by Christie, sorry, by far the best player we have. Technically super, passing, movement.

Looked a much better team when Stockley went off so we were forced to keep the ball on the deck and stretch them with pace.

 

The ref waking up to their thuggery and handing out 3 yellows made a massive difference, they were suddenly a lot more shy about battering our players off the park. 

 

They tried to revert to the falling over that had worked so well for them at Pitoddrie, but just got another yellow for that too.  :laughing:

Agreed. Stockley isn't the answer to anything, and the more we keep trying him, the less effective it becomes. It was far too easy for them for long spells. Maynard didn't do much when he came on, but you're right, he stretched them and made it difficult for them at the back.

 

Anyway, fantastic result. Very much deserved. It was basically like playing Hearts. Kicky and shite.

Stockley played his role tonight. Team game - all 13 played a role.

 

What is clear is 1-1 at home 1st leg is sometimes better than 1-0 win. The home team tonight Siroki wanted to hold out for 0-0 but couldn't.

 

I'd take a 0-0 or a 1-1 home v Apollon next week easy.  We have players to unlock defences as I presume it will be hotter than it was in Bosnia in Cyprus.
