Another odd game, well in control of the first half, without actually looking very good, then not in control of the second half, still not looking very good, but never mind we’re top of the league. Their goal tbh was very well taken, don’t think many keepers would have stopped that. Looking ahead, we have to be better than we are now, we’ve rode our luck in every game so far and I’m baffled as to how we are league leaders at this point, we’ve been dogshit in every game, yet here we are winning 4 out of 5 league matches |

On another day, we'd have been 4-0 up at half time. However, we missed a couple of chances and let them back in. Harvie was poor for their goal but made up for it with a great header to stop a certain 2nd. Only being good in 1 half is quite normal for a team with a new manager though. Hopefully we can start to string 2 good halves together and actually look good for our position in the league. It's nice to be winning for a change. I almost forgot what that was like |

Last season we took 15 games to amass 12 points ( 13 actually ). The season we were promoted from L2 in 2008 it took 9 games. That looks like an improvement to me in that we are getting the best out of what we have. Long may it continue. |

Their defender didn’t touch the ball but Mo was clearly injured by the connection (stamp on foot?). The Dennis was nailed on and possibly a red too. Yet the ref didn’t even judge it - he pretended nothing had happened. Dennis fouled the bloke in the first place from where I was sitting. Thought it was shoulder to shoulder and Dennis was stronger. Having watched the incidents back several times, looks to me like both were penalties. The ref can be excused for the first against Eisa as hard to spot (but can be inferred). The second was a clear penalty and a red card. Dennis with a robust shoulder to shoulder (ref did not give a foul against him and let several of those go) and their defender grabbed Dennis’s ankle. Ref didn’t even rule it out as a penalty. |

They really only had one clear chance in the first half, the one that Faal cocked up from 10 yards with a gaping goal (hello hello our old friend, ball across the box again!). The rest was all half chances and worked angles, nothing they "ought to have scored from". |
