    Good solid win and allowed a bit of experimentation with Giakoumakis starting. Kyogo didn’t look effective out wide and is definitely better in the middle, if you want to play both then I think you need to drop Rogic and give Kyogo his role and then play McGregor and Turnbull (or another) deeper.

    Big test for us on Wednesday and another chance to put a hoodoo behind us of a lack of wins at Easter Road. Would like to see a front 3 of Johnston Kyogo Jota for that one.

    A very decent win that continues to see us build momentum. October was a huge month and we have been excellent- full marks to Ange. Also Kennedy who gets absolutely pelted at times deserves credit- we look much more solid defensively. When you think we had Juranovic out of position at left back; Kyogo out on the wing and Turnbull and Rogic playing in midfield today was a good win. I would like to see us bring in a box to box number 8 style midfielder in January if McCarthy can't get fit before then to allow McGregor to move forward.

    Maybe it's Ange who did the defense training? We have no clue what John and Gavin even do with the team.

    Clean sheet again,Greek striker who’s name I can’t spell yet got his first goal,Starfelt had a great game,1 point off the Huns which is enough to put pressure on them.Good day all round apart from the cheat in black doing his bit for the hun cause.

    I knew it wouldn't be straightforward today as St Johnstone would always pack their defence but we were always in control and totally deserved the win. Good to see the big Greek score and he does give us an option up front. CCV and Starfelt (apart from one slack pass) looked better and Mickey Johnson looks like a new signing. Now for the moan. How the * was the St Johnstone player, after kicking out at CCV and following it up with what looked like a punch allowed to remain on the park. This was done in full view of the ref who then had the audacity to book CCV. We really need to speak out about this * as we are going to continually be kicked off the park and have players seriously injured if we don't.

    Glad he was ok, they had moved the stretcher from the tunnel down to the corner but it didn't get used so reckoned he must have been ok.

    Cheers :50:

    Good win. St Johnstone were brutal and even at 2 down they didn’t even come out a bit. Wasting time when your losing ffs :56:

    Rogic and Jota superb again as we’re the centre halves and Juranovic. Kyogo struggles to get involved when he’s out wide but would good to see big GG start and score.

    This St Johnstone team is all that stands between Ange's first final at Hampden. Can't see them doing anything differently from today. If we're more clinical we'll be in the final with a canter.

    Wife was there instead of me the day. She said someone fell from the top deck and paramedics were called. Anyone heard anything? Our section is 137 so must be about there somewhere

    I've always said that if we keep within distance at the top, we have a real chance of winning the title because we're definitely going to bring in some decent players in January.

    If there was one thing we are missing then it's a CH who is willing to carry the ball forward in the same way Ajer and VVD did. It would help break down teams who pack their defences like St Johnstone did today by drawing defenders out to meet the man carrying the ball. Unfortunately both CCV and Starfelt don't seem confident enough to maybe try it

    We have gone from a team and manager last year that were very hard to like with their sulky lazy attitudes
    To a team and manager with energy and personality that are so likeable

    loved seeing the manager and the captain at the end of the game engaging with the fans

    but I also loved how many sprinted over to get involved when CCV was kicked. That’s a team together !!!! Loved to see it

    good times ahead
