DeVere needs to go back to doing some basic training as he couldn't string two passes together, he did some things ok but just lost the ball most times with bad passing. Besides that we looked alright only in the last 15min of the game.

I think I must have watched different game.  DeVere was decent. He stepped up to the role that Taylor performed last season. Granted he was more restrained (apart from one or two attempts at a header in a SFC goalmouth scramble) but that was also because he had a rookie next to him in our backline so had to stay back way more.  

If you consider that both SFC goals came from a long range shot, the defence largely did its job. There were a couple of opportunities where only Marinovic save, or a glaring SFC miss, kept the score unchanged.  It is however early days yet.
