I was pleased with my own performance (a goal and an assist) but the most important thing was the win. It has not been a great month or so, results have gone against us but I feel in the last three weeks we have been getting better after getting back to basics. We were maybe a bit sloppy last week but there were signs that things were getting back to normal.

This afternoon I felt we defended well and took it from there. That solid base allowed us to go and play. That is how we have won most of our games this season, by defending well as a team. We can obviously attack at pace. That is how the win has come about today. It was comfortable in the end but we worked very hard off the ball. That is maybe something we have been guilty of not doing enough of lately. The work rate set the tone for the performance. Maybe having the three Irish players in the team today helped! We had the luck of the Irish. Willo came back into the side today and I thought he was excellent. You know what you are doing to get from Willo. From the very first minute he was at it. Sometimes you need a player like that is the side to give everyone else a spark. I am not sure if the international break has come at a good time or not. After a win you want to get back out and play straight away, especially as this was our first win for a while and also because we enjoyed it. The training this week is certainly going to be more enjoyable than it probably has been compared with the last couple of weeks. We will though look forward to a few days off so we can recharge the batteries a little bit before getting ready for Hamilton.

The strong team spirit we have has helped us get through the past few weeks. An example today was Willo coming back into the side. He has not played much recently but came in and did very well. It was the squad that won today and not the team.

The manager is good at giving the players confidence. He has had that effect since the first day he arrived at the club. He gives me confidence. He wants his attacking players to go and express themselves. He reminds us what we are good at. He is a manager who allows you to rediscover your form when you are not playing well. That is something he has done well since he has been here.
