Tough, tough game tomorrow. Dundee are right in form and their key players are ticking over - I reckon they're coming here stronger than they were when they pumped us at their bit earlier in the season.
We've done well under McGlynn so far but we've only really played the teams around us at the bottom - the only 'top team' we've played was Hamilton and we were terrible.
I won't lie, I'd be quite happy with a draw right now. It's always good to get one over this mobb but a point would be a good result I reckon.
Wonder if Jimmy is fit again and if he is, whether or not he'll come straight back into the midfield. I'd stick him in for O'Brien - and if he's not fit, I'd get Denholm in for O'Brien. I like Bobo but think we could be doign with a bit more of a direct approach in the midfield.
Hopefully the rain eases too - with that U20 game having been played on the park midweek, it night be toiling if the rain stays on all day and night.

I must say that I fear a good old fashioned shoeing this afternoon. Build up has been somewhat low key for this one has it not.

A great team performance! We had winners all over the park.
We dominated the play for pretty much the first 65-70 minutes before Dundee scrambled back into things. Their penalty was never a penalty (ref had a shocker!) and we could/should have had a definite stick on when their lad clearly handled and controlled the ball up the other end.
DJ was solid (quality penalty save), Mensing was a rock (his headed clearance whilst lying prostrate on the ground was a delight), Coll Donaldson improves with every game (his courageous header in the box leading to our winner was excellent), Keaghan was back to his best (lovely strike for our first), Kyle Wilkie had his best game for us and Danny 'Dyer' Denholm once again ran a back line ragged after coming on as a sub. No failures yesterday!
Our best performance of the season! Just what was needed before the trip to Fife on Tuesday night.

What a great game that was! We were hoarse by the end. Well done to John McGlinn for bringing on the subs when he did because Jimmy was in the right place at the right time to score the winner, although the ref did his best to hand it to Dundee on a plate. Another 3 points as we keep on moving up the league.  |

Well that wasn't part of the script! I'd have been more than happy with a point but as the game neared full-time and it was still 1-1, I was gutted that we looked likely to only be taking a point. All was put right though with super sub Jimmy!
Cracking goal from Keaghan - thankfully his first touch was rubbish as it meant he had to take the shot a bit quicker! 'You just don't save those'!
Like Pedro says - definitely our best performance this season. We dominated most of the game and were unfortunate not to have another goal or two. Their penalty looked soft so made it all the better when DJ done the business. Sucker punch to concede so soon after, made even worse when MacDonald ran to the Livi fans with a right smug look on his coupon - that lasted long, eh?! Haha!
That's a massive win for us - gets us up a few places on the league, touching on the play offs and means we go into another tough game against Raith with a wee bit of confidence.
