I give credit to Dow for putting the pressure on us. The last 20 minutes, we just forced everything instead of taking our time.

[Jukka Santala grabbed a brace to earn Partick Thistle a 2-2 draw after Ayr United had twice gone ahead through Jerome Vareille and Paul Hyslop.] We were by far the best side, ... But Ayr were frustrating to play against.

Colin comes in to solve a goalkeeping problem as Neil Bennett has decided to go back south. My assistant, Jimmy Bone, knows Colin well from his time working with him at County last season. I have admired Mark for some time. He is a good player and has pace.

We never really got any good shots on goal. We never took them. We played reasonably well ... but it wasn't one of our better games.

I hope this result kick starts our season.

We were very close, a lot of years. We worked our way through a lot of problems, and we could've worked our way through this one. We could've made a comeback.
