I thought we were good in the first half. Walsall came back into it at the beginning of the second but then we got stronger as the match progressed. Added time was the usual "hanging on by a thread".
We all see things differently, of course, but I thought Petrasso and MArshall were good all match, particularly Petrasso who looked like he could really create something. And he did, of course. Blair Adams shot was great too and he was unlucky not to score.
Fantastic result last night in a Midland Derby, shame more of us weren't there to be able to enjoy it, but that's a different topic entirely which doesn't deserve a place on this thread.
We sounded a constant threat all night, although the MOM must have been Joe Murphy who made some fantastic saves throughout the game.
The ten point deduction has been mentioned everywhere, it doesn't matter if we were one point off the play offs or eleven fact of the matter is you won't get away from people mentioning, however the aim has to be finishing seventh now which with a game in hand on Swindon is six points away is very realistic, at that point if we finish three, five or eight points off the play offs we can take note of the incredible achievements that Steven Pressley has managed with this young squad this season and look to next season with huge optimism.
First priority has to be maintaining league status, which is another 4 or 5 wins away. The postponement of fixtures has worked well for us and with players returning the pressure should start to ease.

I didn't even know they were playing last night. That's how much my interest has been lost for the last year or so. Nice to see a win though. But I can't see that lifting us out of the quagmire.
5 wins would give us 56 points. No way we'll need that many to stay up.
I agree, but it's very tight between ourselves and seventh that realistically with this squad it's where we should be aiming for, if we can maintain the fitness of our strikers we can climb the league and away from relegation.
The mentality of the squad and especially the manager has never been in question, they'll be aiming as high as they can. Where we will always be held back with the present set-up is in the size of the squad and its dependence on young players, and we all know whose fault that is.
Hasn't Pressley said from day dot he wants a small squad? Granted not so many youngsters.
Pressley has always said that he wants a squad of about 23 players, I think we could still do with some experience in the Centre of Midfield and up top, Kris Boyd would be a great sigining should the recent rumours be correct.
Boyd is the wrong side of 30 and still looks overweight for Kilmarnock-it would be a risky investment.
Perhaps, but his goal scoring record speaks volumes.

So did Freddie eastwoods
Perhaps, but his goal scoring record speaks volumes.
Eastwood had only scored regularly for Southend in league 1 and league 2 when we signed him, flopped at Wolves in the championship. So I guess it depends on what standard you consider the Scottish premier league to be comparable to
