Couldn't be at the game due to being abroad, but tuned in the Arab Zone for live commentary. It seemed to be a fairly confident and controlled performance by the Arabs, despite, maybe not moving as fluidly as the last two weeks.
That said, it was nice to grab three points, especially with Ayr and County bagging max points. It would have been a daunting task, to claw back the points if we hadn't got the result.
The team seems to be shaping up well, and for the first time in a while, has the shape and consistency to realise a winning run, closing the gap at the top.
McMullan is now showing a lot of potential. It's difficult to believe that Laslo didn't fancy him. The team, if we stay injury free is in a good place. A strong bench compliments the starting eleven, which will help in the coming winter months, as injuries and suspensions come into play.
There has been a great improvement in our style of play, commitment and attitude. Seven points from nine is a good return. Mon the Arabs

Apparently 1823 Arabs there as well. Any longer under Laszlo and that would have been our home attendances.
Good to see the fans backing the new manager, and the manager repaying them by not being an utter clown.

Not a lot of chances in the game but it's really satisfying to see us take them when they come along.
Really pleased with what Neilson's doing and the transformation in us is terrific. A bit of momentum is starting to build and, at the risk of it being a false dawn, I do feel like there's been a seachange in attitudes both on the park and off it among the support. People seem to be positive again which is something we've been missing for a while.
I still fear County will run away with the league - another convincing win for them at the weekend - but we can only win our own games and I'm a lot more confident of that now than I was before.
Terrific turnout by our fans though.

Apparently Nielsen was talking about the tactics the team had to adopt - playing at the back to try to draw Dunfermline out. Thought it was refreshing that we now have a manager who identifies a need for changing tactics! Dunfermline are poor but we still had to beat them so pleased overall. McMullan needs to listen to the captain when it comes to pens though! Also, the bridie I had was fantastic!! Onwards...
