There’s definitely something to work with here. There is also times we look terrible. 
 

Hedges, Ramirez and Watkins are a good front 3 at this level. Not sure we can carry JET next to them though. 

Jet has been good the last two games but don’t think you can play him alongside the other three in a game Aberdeen don’t dominate possession

Jenks done well when he came which was a positive

Bates was brilliant again. Ramirez and Watkins were superb.

Jenks made a difference when he came on. He looks a good player. Lots of pace, height and technically good. Alot to like with him.

Was just about to say the same certainly a useful asset I wouldn’t be shipping back down the road just yet. Samuels and longstaff on the other hand I’d let go to bring in someone else. 
 

Really hope this is a turning point in our season. We have 5 more games until the winter break, no reason why we can’t atleast win 4 of them and hopefully beat the huns to cap it off! Anywhere between 30-36 points come January and we will be right in mix for Europe. As I said a few months back it’s ridiculous how poor our league is that if you go on a good run you can be in the European places again having been absolutely garbage for 1/3 of season.

I think today has absolutely guaranteed Stephen Glass gets the January window now & see how we improve things from there. 
 

He always was getting it.

[muttonhumper]

That's a fucking tremendous finish by Ramirez to make it 2-0. Excellent strikers goal.

Then another fine finish from Watkins just before half time. Drilled with potent accuracy.

As for the 4th, brilliant team goal. My seat I jumped out of.

Keep it up.

There's going to be games where we can and he'll be a massive help to the team, unsure if we start him next week though, maybe need more of a 'worker' in the side for that game.

Absolutely. Was instrumental in us going well in front.  Had a cracking 60 mins. Rather that than a mediocre 90mins.

Sometimes you need that extra attacking player on the pitch. 

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Are we finally turning it round? If so I will take back my criticisms of SG.

[thurso]

Only seen the second half when already 3-1 up. Thought we started a bit slow but when we clicked we were really good in with some of the one touch passing. Ramirez and bates were really good brown ferguson solid in the middle. Jenks did really good for the 4th goal dont think he is as bad as dons said on here. 
And ojo is still crap 

[Crashnyploshnit]

Delighted with the result. Well impressed by Bates who is coming on to his game. Superman doing what he does best. Interesting that we only had 50% possession. Wonder what Dazzy Dave will make of the stats.

Probably correct but let's wait to see what happens in the next 2 away matches.

Both against sides who currently can't buy wins in the league so should be cause for optimism.

[fine-n-dandy]

Great result.

Even more so as I had 4-1 on my L15 @ 40/1

Paid double because of St’s -county game voided. 
if only Dundee had scored one fkn goal though as had 3-1 in that & would have been quids in if that came in. About a grand ?

[Granite95]

Good result and great attacking performance, few worries defensively but can't complain too much about a 4-1 win!

As I said only seen second half, from what I seen control aint the best which means he takes a touch to many inevitably ball goes backwards when he does get in the opposition’s box his cut back was crap. His cut backs were the same on Wednesday.
Maybe I’m just being picky n biased but still think he’s crap especially at right back could of just been spoiled watching ramsay at the start of the season 

[aberdeen1970]

Ojo played OK today I thought. 

Was a good team performance, full commitment by everyone 

[Dynamo]

Great win and started to click going forward. 

Need to spend time making us better at the back though. A better team would have bagged a few goals themselves.

Considering he's a CM playing at RB, he was very good.

Talking about your bet. No one cares. It's the chat of a Dullard.

The cunt at work on a Monday who's always been let down by one team. The cunt you can't wait to get away from. The cunt who'll be boring cunts all day with that same shite chat. 

NO. ONE. CARES.

I’m waiting and seeing.

We got a bit carried away at the start of the season.

We seem to roller coaster with Glass.

Two or three good results are followed by four or five poor ones. 
We’re so inconsistent.

Yet you keep going on about it. 
Glad you care enough to make your point & give a somewhat justified reasoning behind it.

Had I gotten all 4 results & £166k you would have cared a little more I am sure ?

Where has this team been all year?

In transition. Some could see what was trying to be achieved.

We could and should have scored more. Starting to get a settled team and rhythm 

Hopefully kick on but I’m sure St Johnstone despite being in poor form will try to disrupt us next week.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

[Zeus]

Sma wet. 

Decent game of fitba considering the conditions. Could've scored a few more. 

St Mirren were actually arite also I thought.

Aye I like St Mirren. Always try to play football. 

Well, apart from Alan Power 

[Tommy]

Decent performance in terrible conditions. When the passing game clicks it’s great to watch.

A Celtic win tomorrow and the jutes will be feeling the pressure. 

Hopefully the injuries start clearing up and we can go on a decent run.

Classic pundit talk that - "St Johnstone will try to disrupt us next week" - of course they'll be trying to beat us next week, that's the whole point in a game of football - they're hardly going to turn up and just let us win are they! 

It was a good performance in terrible conditions today, and a good scoreline. I'm not going to get too carried away though as we should be pummeling Livingston and St Mirren every time we play them, especially at the moment when they are both utterly hopeless. Will see how the next few games go. Good stuff today though! 

[sooth_stander]

Great stuff today. First time we’ve scored 3 goals in the league this season, let alone 4. Defended really well when we had to, Bates was outstanding again, 3 really good performances this week.

We move onto St Johnstone now and have to bury them too.

St Mirren are not a bad team at all. Push their wing backs way up the park hugging the touch lines, and both saw plenty action.
Although didn’t realise that Jamie McGrath played today till I heard the after match analysis on the road home . Maybe better analysts than me can comment on his contributions, but I thought it was minimal.

[Simosmashed my knee]

Credit where credit is due a terrific performance today. 

[Zeus]

McGrath wasn't in the game at all.
