    Fantastic score , fantastic away win and fantastic that we are through ....

    Remember when we couldn’t get an away win in Europe no matter how we played?!?

    Main takeaways for me..

    1 as already seen in league ... we have superb quality mid to front and goals from so many areas.

    2 our defence is ragged and it shows badly as soon as tested.

    3 why do we get so many fekkin injuries?

    4 Lenny needs to think better and smarter during matches. When it’s done and dusted he needs to think about preserving players, preventing injury and gaining late bookings.

    His support team are clearly not contributing or being used effectively.

    Well done! Onwards to batter the filth!

    Excellent result and performance.

    Unbelievable going forward, we look dangerous at every opportunity.

    Jullien and Bolingoli becoming more established. Once we get a consistent defence we will be great.

    That was my first thought, i think this was staged to give the impression that he will be a big doubt for sunday, he will play. the fact lennon didn't react instantly and sub him says a lot. i hope i am reading this right and lennon is not an utter *,

    6-1 is a fantastic result.

    It does hide the fact our defence was suspect to say the least.

    Done well, credit to all involved.

    However, I don’t know why we kept letting them play that long diagonal ball out to the left and gave them all the time in the world to cross it in. We are absolutely horrendous in that type of position so we shouldn’t be encouraging it!

    By winning tonight, we've almost made the same amount of money as winning the league..that's pretty mental and shows how crap the SPFL TV deal is

    SPFL
    1st - £3.18m
    2nd - £2.28m

    Great performance and result, just a shame about the injuries. Ajer one is a *, and not sure what's the latest be hopefully Eddie's is not too serious.

    Jamesy Forrest does it again, pler.

    Our best away European performance for a long time. As we have since the season started, we look very good going forward. I've no worries about us in an attacking sense. We countered brilliantly tonight and were ruthless when we got a chance. It was the perfect away performance in my opinion. We were much better defensively tonight also, not perfect, but much better than we have been. I've already said how I feel about the decision not to take remove Edouard sooner, and I stand by that. Luckily it looks like he will make it Sunday. In terms of the performance, it was very pleasing, the management when the game was wrapped up, not so much.

    100%

    Obviously defensively we have a few concerns but I think we will have more than enough to see it through. Even if it is Griff or bayo upfront. Or.mayne even both?

    has to go out but watched the replay what a result and brown was magnificent i thought the others came on to a right good game also even ralston done well playing 75m morgan got a goal lol so dig big julian

    but picked up on thailands post

    its not so much that the defence is awful the midfield isnt defensively minded enough they dont get enough tackles in and or not strong enough physically, christie and mcgregor need to really learn the defensive parts of the game and hit the gym to get some upper body strength

    if we always play with 2 wingers then our full backs are always liable to be exposed aswell, when bolingoli got done in the first half when the guy slipped it through to the runner thats always liable to happen to our fullbacks because we are playing with wingers and their not very good defensively

    if i had an issue with the way we seem to be playing recently its the way we seem to gift the opposition the ball and that we seem to want to play the game without the ball a lot recently in europe all that does is add pressure to our defence which isnt getting the best support from our midfield in regards the midfielders arent defending strongly and or tackling
