Pars v Montrose

[Al k]

Finally a cracking cross, COYP'S.

Should have been 2, that's woefull from McCann.

Two points clear, good changes by the manager I thought and resulted with a goal.

Much improved second half, so fair play to McPake for whatever he said to them. We seemed a lot more confident, a lot more urgent, and a lot more determined. Good subs too, must be brilliant to see the changes pay off so well.

Probably should have had another when McCann broke free but then underhit the pass, but whatever.

Should also have had a penalty and the less said about that decision not to give us a corner the better. Shocking decisions.

🎶 We are top of the league, say we are top of the league 🎶

[Number Eleven]

Much better second half performance although still not many chances created but strong at the back and can’t argue with 3 wins and 3 clean sheets - long may it continue.

[Berry]

Thought we started the game off pretty well, then slowly Montrose grew into the half (without posing much of a goal threat) and our midfield became flat footed, failing to look for space and want on the ball which made it difficult for us to mount any serious offence. 

Second half, a little more intent and we looked most likely to score, great use of the subs and Todorov with a decent header, in the end a 1-0 was a fair result.

Some player performances though were pretty poor. O’Hara again, Wighton again, McCann didn’t have the best of games either.

With such a small squad they will get away with it but would be good if we could bring in more bodies to provide that competition for places, O’Hara could do with some time sitting on the bench.

3 wins out of 3 though and nearest competition dropping points so all in all a good days work but still a lot of work and improvement needed if we are to try and sustain this.

Was good to see that Stewart Petrie acknowledged a warm welcome on his return to EEP

Be interesting to see the midfield dynamic with Hamilton coming back in. Chalmers had a really good game  against Edinburgh with some clever, accurate passing (albeit against poorer opposition), does Mochrie, who was also very composed when he came on, get a start? Think as confidence grows there are goals in this team. 3-1 Pars.

Too positive again

[Secure Par]

I’ll take a scrappy/ playing ok 1-0 win for every game remaining this season. 
Top of the league with no goals conceeded 👍

Good to get the win.

But we were pretty rank again. The sitter McCann missed after we scored sums him up. Not good enough 

[Yorkie]

"Back to to-day I am concerned with lack of cover in central defence and in midfield. We are only a red card or injury away from a crisis in certain positions and its not a good place to be. "

McPake has said almost exactly the same thing in his interview after the match.

[Raymie]

Don’t know why he persists in starting with three strikers ?

🎶 Top of the league, looking down on the Falkirk it’s the only explanation I can find, it’s the form that we’ve found, since Mcpakes been around and it sees us at the top of the league 🎶
