    Think he deserves credit for the Turnbull sub today, made it early on and it completely changed the game for us.

    As one of the overall critical posters this past week/month I will happily come in after that game and say it was much better.

    The 3 main issues are still there - not playing 2 strikers in a 352 formation, Brown being undroppable and LWB needing sorted.

    That said, Frimpong starting was a breath of fresh air - I just hope it isn't a one off when Forrest returns. Brown played better, good!


    Sticking by Bitton seems to be helping, the backline getting slowly more assured this past week.

    His subs a lot better today, although two seemed forced, it was good that we brought Turnbull on and I hope can be taken more serious to getting starts now.


    Overall, much better from Lennon today, albeit some changes were forced on him, we can all hope this continues a bit in the same direction, much more still needing done.

    Good today, not keen on 3511 think we really need 2 out and out forwards up top, but cant complain too much today, think we look very shaky on defensive transition & in our defending overall at times and honestly think that due to the coaching on this formation and our lack of rest defense. That said cant turn our noses up at a 3-0 win against Hibs with them not having any chances. Glad to see he stuck Turnbull on for 45, really not sure why Soro is getting 4 mins. Anyhow good today

    I think using Moi as a link up between midfield and Ajeti is not a bad idea. Allowed Christie to act more as a box to box.

    The subs is something we should never be afraid to use. But as you say seem forced. On the bench we had 9 players who would get into any SPL side. I don't think subs really ever hurt our quality, if a player has a bit of tightness or a bit in pain. Don't risk it, just take them off.

    NL: That's our best performance of the season and one of the best in my time here as manager. Breathtaking. I thought the football we played was outstanding against a very good side. I thought we were magnificent and I'm very happy

    @shaneduffy
    made a great block at 2-0. It looks like a hamstring injury for Ajeti so he could be out for a couple of weeks.

    Starting to learn, any Lennon post match interview you need to drop by 3 levels to get a true reflection.
    Best of his time as manager? Having a laugh? Certainly best of the season so far, but it wasn't the best we have seen under a Lennon management.

    Turnbull did great when he come on, but (a) it was an enforced change with Christie injured; and (b) we were already leading 2-0.

    As Lenny said though, that was our best performance of the season so far without a doubt.

    Hopefully more squad players will start to get game time as e will need them all over the course of a long season.

    I do wonder sometimes about what people post.. 2 subs were forced and game was already done when the others were made.. frimpong probably wouldn't of started only for an injury to Forrest

    Not having a go today at Lenny as it was a good performance but let's see can we do it two games running.. massive test Thursday

    Good performance today.

    Not sure how I can really say much more as the stream was so bad, but certainly seemed more comfortable and fluid today.

    It was a brilliant win today, with some good play and performances, but a wee bit ott with his comments.

    Trying hard to get a few ruffled players back onside possibly?

    Anyway, who cares. Just pumped a decent team and kept a clean sheet.

    Aye that is where I am at, the performance was good today, the win is good, the clean sheet etc all good, but hard to not still be concerned, considering the positives in the game were forced on to Lennon, rather than him making the choice himself.

    But we will find out next game how true that is. For now, its a good win and we enjoyed the performance for a change.
