To be fair, we won and we’re top. That’s worth savouring. Too often the minute someone misses a chance the narrative pivots and the rest of the match gets flattened to that single moment. There was plenty to like today and a degree of balance in how we played — not perfect, but good enough to take the points.
Forwards put the graft in
Mo Ross on RTV pointed out something obvious to anyone watching: the forwards worked hard and created the base for the win. Missing chances happens. A striker can miss a sitter and still have a big influence with his movement, pressing and link play. You cannae reduce a whole shift to one clip you found on social. Naderi had an awkward chance early and it went begging too — yet that one gets forgotten when the narrative suits.
Don't nitpick one moment
We need perspective. There is always room for improvement, of course, but criticism should be proportionate. If we’re top after a run of decent results maybe now's the time to enjoy it rather than picking holes in every performance. Fans will always argue about who should have done better, but let’s not let negativity drown out the positives. The team showed shape, tempo and a willingness to press — that’s the sort of foundation you want.
Keep criticism fair
Some folk point at one player to score cheap points in a thread. That’s hypocritical and unhelpful. If we flag a miss, fine. But balance it with the good bits. Support doesn’t mean blind praise and criticism shouldn’t be a wagon to jump on. We’ll criticise properly when it’s deserved — when performances are poor or patterns are worrying. Today wasn’t that day. For now, I’m happy to enjoy the win and keep an eye on the improvements to make.
