Lots of yellows for us though, and suspensions will kick-in over the next two months. Anyone have stats on who is vulnerable on those?

Of course the comments were fair We will take that result - superb stuff - but lets not kid ourselves; we could have been thumped today by the team at the bottom. After their goal we had 2 great saves from McGovern (MotM) and 2 positions in the box where they should have punished us (one a bad one from the error strewn Kuriakins). I also recall them having a great chance early in the second to go 2 up, when all they had to do was get the ball square but we managed to clear.
A crazy game, which really hinged on our 'lucky' equaliser - an og from a corner which was perhaps our first 'attempt' on target. That then brought out all the frailties on United who bottled it - we scored but almost immediately United missed a one on one with the keeper chance again.
I don't think I am being cruel when I say that we perhaps won despite of Canning's changes rather than as a result of them. Imrie off was a weird decision and 442 was leaving us open in the middle before we scored.
After Celtic there are huge games in December - we must improve and we must start playing at nil nil - coming back is great but we can't rely on it.
McGovern was superb today and Sendles White was good also. Everyone else tried their best in the second half but were all shocking in the first.
Morris is getting good game time after bad now and is easily marshalled by semi decent defenders; Nade continues to be lazy when he gets on and Kurakins is just shocking.
Still better lucky than good they say

To come back from 1 down shows great character, and I read on twitter that Martin gave a few home truths at HT. 3 points are 3 points, and who knows what the confidence boost might lead to.
