Much better game today, some nice football too. Did more in the first attack than we did all game against Falkirk, when we worked the ball up the pitch and didn't just launch it. Saying that Hardie's goal came from a long ball but it was a quality one, and he showed great strength and composure to stick it away. Lovely corner and goal by De Vita and Lithgow for our first too, almost added another one doing the exact same thing later in the game.
Could easily have been 5-0 but good to see us keeping the pressure on the ball when we were defending this time and not sitting off them thinking the game was over.
I like the look of Hardie, big awkward player to play against and has some nice touches to get his shot away, should've had a penalty near the end when he was hauled down. Tried to stay on his feet instead of just looking for the penalty and gets rewarded for his honesty by the officials ignoring him being fouled, well done lino & ref ya pair of useless twats.
I think we looked a lot better when Buchanan went off with a concussion and Gallagher dropped back into defence, and also Robinson coming on, nothing against Buchanan as he was solid, but Hoppy needs to just play the 3 CB's and have actual midfielders instead of shoehorning another CB into the team.
On other results, surprised to see Utd lose at home but other results went as expected (well maybe Falkirk winning instead of drawing was a wee surprise) still worked out well for us. And couldn't really see Brechin taking points off QoS. So we go back up to 3rd place, and tbh I don't think Utd are untouchable for 2nd place now, it's there for the taking.
