That must be the most bizarre match ever seen at Cliftonhill. Rovers terrible; but the most absolutely vital win in years. Warton and Smart best for us today.

We need to be at our best when we play Queens Park in 2 weeks,and if I was Kevin, I would change goalkeepers, I would put Smith in for that one, I go for a point next week.

We all saw it and it was cringing at times lucky to hold on to 3 points when they were down to 9 men. Bryan Wharton deservedly MoM.

Fair point by Kevin. Our main problem with not capitalising on the 2 men advantage was possession. Keeping the ball and stretching Stirling was the key to winning handsomely. Even if we were struggling to create chances it would have run the click down by simply keeping the ball. When we did do that briefly we scored the second.
I thought Fagan was particularly poor yesterday . I’m pretty sure he would have been subbed already with a yellow card but fir the injury to Lynas.
Euan East too -amazing how he didnt score. Thought that was a bit self indulgent trying the diving header from half a yard out when all he had to do was stick a leg out. Funnily I don’t hear calls that he is all for himself and not a team player.

Hand on heart for me if that game was 11 v 11 Stirling would have won that game. There is no way they will finish bottom this season.
The only positives I can take from that is we got 3 points without playing well.
Ref 100% correct with both their reds and was always going to try and even that up so no surprise when we went down to 10.
The Stirling goal really was a weak shot from distance that our goalkeeper took an age to get down for.
Lots of work ahead for Kevin. Goalkeeping position remains a problem and our midfield was missing in action for most of the games.
Bryan Wharton deserved his MOTM but I think anything outwith the bottom will be a bonus this season.
