An excellent result for Dunfermline, which puts them into sixth place after Hearts lost to Dundee Utd. Kilmarnock had the majority of chances in the first half and deserved to be in front. Their best chance coming from Andy McLaren, who tried lobbing Ruitenbeek, but Ruitenbeek managed to tip it onto the bar. Straight after half-time Dunfermline eventually started to put some pressure on the Killie goal. Dunfermline took the lead after 67 minutes when Lee Bullen knocked the ball across the goal and fell perfectly for Senyi N'Diaye to head home. Dunfermline second came when the a cross ball was missed by Crawford, then N'Diaye and then eventually fell to Hampshire, who fired home. Dunfermline now look well on course to a top six place if they keep their good form.
THINGS THAT PLEASED ME ABOUT STEVIE'S PERFORMANCE
He was a lot more positive and tried to beat players
He was always in a dangerous places and was found near the goal mouth.
THINGS THAT ANNOYED ME ABOUT STEVIE'S PERFORMANCE
He sometimes tried to beat too many players (again) and lost possesion.
He tried too many fancy things. When placed with a goalscoring oppurtunity he tried fancy flicks.
