Three goals, three points, clean sheet, and all on an East coast January night. There was a bit of slackness, in passing, and movement/positional play, but the team was never really in trouble, and when it was, Spring-heeled Jack was there, as we have come to expect. 

 

Here's a question: what was the best goal of the three? They were all 'football' goals, different, and from different players. 

Yilmaz: great pass,  great first touch, great finish.

Cantwell: a terrific strike, controlled, and beautifully placed.

Dessers: a subtle subterfuge, which sent several Hibees away for their tea. It did not quite reach the status of being 'disrespectful', more's the pity. 

I can't make up my mind. 

 

(I didn't think Dessers capable of such a finish, and I've belted and flayed him, with the rest of you, but the hat was off last night. Maybe there is a player there, after all.)

Never seen three better goals in one match.

Cantwell, crash bang WALLOP.

Yilmaz, crash, bang and a bit of skill for control.

Dessers, if Sherlock Holmes played football he would have scored goals like that. Best of the three.

As you say, 3 brilliant goals and for different reasons. 

 

In my opinion Dessers goal shades it, just such a "dirty", "disrespectful" finish. Similar to the goal he scored against Hibs at Ibrox earlier this season.

Cantwell's goal for me was the pick.

From his look over his shoulder before receiving the ball, terrific first touch then BANG, fantastic finish.

Especially after he took a nock that goal game about if im not mistaken?  Haha remember when Rooney lost his temper against Newcastle I think it was and smashed in a belter maybe that’s Todd’s energy to do better in matches?

Three great goals, but the Dessers one was pure class. Thought we had two honest penatly claims too.  And Butland broke spoon burner hearts. Nice
