Started off brilliantly but went down hill after 15 minutes. We just can't play against these 'in your face' sides and tend to start hoofing it. Jay Mac and Macca were the worst culprits but Macca improved after the break. Great effort from the players but we really do need a manager/coach in the dugout.

No-one can out hoof Flint, but I would rather he did that than fanny around with it in the back 4and cost us a goal.

TBF their keeper made a great one handed save from a fierce shot just after half time.

All in all I thought PNE were a decent outfit - would imagine they would have a good end of season run

Funny how they are questioning why we didn't open up the SB but why would we? Be pointless for an extra 50/100.

Looks like they got close judging by the pictures posted on their forum.....

Oh yes, and Flint. Actually some of his hoofs turn into good passes.

But if there were, say, 20 tickets left unsold, then STFC made the right decision. They may have sold them all, I don't know.

There were at least a couple of hundred spaces in there (I was directly opposite).

Their keeper made some really great saves but I suppose other than that he was average. Very, very flappy.

That was a shit game of football. PNE were fucking awful and we were a bit better but still shit. This is yet another game that we didn't put to bed and should have. Williams was a passenger for the 90. Macca was woeful in the first 45 but much better in the 2nd half. I'd rather have Nathan at RB. McEvely was also shit. Probably put Macca there.
Ward was MOM for me.
Although PNE were shit you can't doubt their effort. It looked like they had more players than us and I thought we looked tired and clueless in patches. Hopwfully, its just the events of the last couple of weeks catching up with them.
I have been really critical of Rooney and Roberts this season but Rooney looks a completely different player now. As for Roberts, he's now showinh his true worth, which I think is also due to the fact he's putting a shift in and not trying to hide during games.
Fair play to PNE - that was great support considering the dogshit that must ha ve been servueed up to them. Saw a lot of police activity after the game - not sure if football connected but they did appear to have been busy near 6 o clock.

Yeah, some of their lot moved down to the front when they scored and that picture looks deceptively full. Still great numbers of support for a long trip during a mediocre season for them mind.

Their keeper was woeful at corners

Fullbacks and de vita were wank today but, given the circumstances, i think the players can be proud with that today.

Not sure what was up with Williams. He just didn't look interested.
