I watched Livi`s highlights and David Martindale`s post-match interview. He said they were expecting our high press and I think he said the stats show we are the best at it in the Championship!??? He did have the good grace to admit we should have had a penalty.

I clocked their highlights this morning - the commentator was hot for an offside call on the first goal - sorry, no deal from the linesman.
Kane was really sharp there - great finishing.
Looked liked Livi might have been studying our defending of corners from earlier this season !!!

7:15 for the contentious penalty. Kane stops the ball inside the box and the impact from the keeper pushes him outside. The initial hit definitely looks inside to me.

"He did have the good grace to admit we should have had a penalty."
watched the highlights and my first though was I`d like to see another angle of that incident. On the line is in the box so should have been a pen.

Thought it was a pen at the time and highlights haven’t changed my opinion

Wasn’t at the game but looks a clear penalty by the highlights, although I do wonder if Kane doesn’t do himself any favours by jumping straight up, but I suppose the decision has already been made.

The ref has to go with what he sees, with no replay.
It was in the box but he landed out it. He clearly jumped back in. That might have swayed the ref.

What a huge difference having Kyle back in defence.
The whole team plays better when he is there. A true,
good old fashioned defender, and leader.

A fit Benedictus should always start. His experience and leadership is invaluable and can compensate for a yard of pace he may have lost

How does that work, Raymie? There are two teams playing. Does one manager get it right and the other get it wrong? Surely there must be more at play than just the managers` intentions?

You will have heard pundits say many times that the away team should try to “keep things tight for the first 15 mins and quieten the crowd”?
This means they are expecting the home team to come at them and what they want to avoid is giving the home team the impetus and getting the fans backing them.
By not getting after teams, not pressing them high, not committing men forward, not getting crosses in the box and not getting defences turning with some long balls over the top, then you are allowing opponents to make passes without much pressure, gaining confidence and turning the fans against the home team.
From what I’ve seen, there is no team in this league who are much better than anyone else, therefore if we apply these tactics, then I’m sure we will win more points than we lose, as each team may buckle under the pressure of a fast start ?

I think scoring early is the key. Something we have been lacking for a long time.
Also having a right go right from kick off not allowing them to settle. Aside from the Raith game, last night was the only other one where we did exactly that.
Usually we sit tight playing boring mundane football and before we know it, we’re a goal or two down such as QP and F*lkirk games for example.
Last night was refreshing.
