Thought Lewis McCann played a blinder yesterday. His first goal was immense and the way he turned the defender and with a pin pointed cross was superb. Well done to the lad and to the whole team.
He has taken a lot of criticism undeserved. When you see the constraints McPake had on the team and how much better the team is now we can see the true talent we have.
I only wish John McLaughlin could have a longer spell as caretaker to see how things pan out.

I am not his greatest fan, but today he was immense. Cracking first goal

That’s the Lewis McCann we’ve been waiting on. He’s pulled things off from time to time and he always works hard but he needs to add a huge dose of consistency. It’s a big season for him, I think he really needs to prove himself and I’m hoping he takes his opportunity the second half of the season.

Everyone knows I’m not a fan of his but he deserves the praise for his best performance in dare I say a good few seasons.
If he can be effective in more games than he’s not that would make a big difference in our bid to recover this season. Think he’s only got an option for next year so playing for a contract too.
Let’s see if he can do it for 2-3 games in row.

I can`t help but feel McPake has been his problem, that was a damn fine performance against Partick.

McPake was always very supportive of McCann, in common with every manager he has played under at the Pars. I suspect that there has been a frustration that he hasn`t really fulfilled his potential. Maybe he can kick on now. At the end of the day it`s down to the player. Look at Kevin Nisbet. He was a relatively late developer.

He was, I meant in the respect that his tactics and negative approach held the team back.

To be fair - It was only Lee Ashcroft he turned inside out for the fourth goal :-)

Is it a coincidence he seems more confident playing as a pair up front?
Usually he’s been on the left or up top on his own.

He’s most certainly not a left winger.
It`s bloody tough being a legend

Mcpake didn’t really work for any of our players rather than just McCann! Not a single player improved.
I think it’s fair to say Lewis has had a number of managers in his 6 years in the first team squad and he’s played a significant number of games. mcpake hasn’t been the only one who has struggled to get any regular performances out of him.
We’ve been so starved of good performances (including in league 1) that when we do give an excellent performance we tend to go big on the praise in what could be a one off performance (as we’ve seen twice this season already)
I just hope the team can go again on sat and at least show mid table form until the end of the season so it’s not a late scramble for points to avoid the playoffs.

Not like you to make sweeping generalisations.
Off the top of my head: Josh Edwards and Matty Todd improved. The latter hasn`t been as effective so far this season, but he definitely improved.
