Excellent result lots of good performances and plenty of desire and we looked much more balanced.

Midfield definitely clicked and shows plenty of energy, intelligence and bravery.

Byrne and wags linked up nicely, so did Joz and Buchanan.

Kaz is a proper battering ram striker with good touch and mobility.

Wiz and Clarke did well too recycling possession quickly and effectively.

Some nice pairing starting to build and 2 ducking goals in one game!!!!!!

So so right. Pairings are critical. It’s the oldest thing in the football world .. wide players .. defence and attack .. overlapping each other, working as a duo .. mini games of their own that influence the bigger picture. A CB team. A strike partnership It’s how units and teams work. Independent Cells within an organised whole. Love it ?

Special word for Kazim as well tonight. Didn’t win man of the match, but he was an absolute man mountain. Won basically every duel, and held the ball up superbly. Made things so much easier for everyone around him. Best Derby striker performance I’ve seen in a long time.

His header that hit the bar- his sheer strength was jaw dropping. Who was our last striker to do that. Complete performance, pretty much unplayable. He loves it at Derby.

Marshall- nothing todo

bryne - did well 

wisdom - perfect type of opponent for him 

clarke - good game 

Buchanan- I just don’t worry about this lad 

Belick - excellent 

knight - very good 

Shinnie- very good 

waghorn - gave us competitive effort

jozwiak  - they didn’t know how to play him great goal 

Richards - great game from him 

subs - Holmes - did ok protecting what we had 

other subs - didn’t affect the game 

we totally out worked Swansea especially the midfield work horses we have in there which protects the defence whilst we are battling up front - enjoyed that

My Swansea mate said it was a really off day from them.

I think they underprepared and thought we'd be easy. We also got out tactics spot on to stop them and out worked them and wanted it more.

Feeling more confident as games go by that we're gonna be ok, that even if we limp on with no investment we'll do enough to survive.

Team is improving and TWO goals!

Not sure why when teams don’t do well it’s an off day, it wasn’t it was us stopping them from playing and taking the game to them, we had knight and Shinnie chase everything , can imagine how horrid it is playing against them

Very pleased with that. Just two points I'd make.

1. That was Wayne's team and set up, as much as I like Mac it's doing a disservice to Wayne to not give him full credit, he's the one with his neck on the block after all.

2. I doubted Shinnie had such a decent performance in him as an all round midfielder rather than a defensive specialist, but he was very good in both directions.

Wow don’t know what to say after that !!! 
Trying not to get carried out as we’ve still got a way to go but that was soooo much more positive in every single way !

More energy, more passion, we had a shape and a purpose. We closed down as one and actually created chances !

Just unrecognisable to the turgid crap that Cocu had us playing !

Really hard to pick a MOTM as everyone was good - Byrne, Bielik, Clark, Shinnie, Knight all had great games but I really enjoyed CKR ! Holding the ball up, playing it simple and generally being a pain in the arse to play against ! I can’t remember him giving the ball away !

COYR !!!!
