    It's some achievement how far we have come under Ange. He come in, in very testing circumstances.

    Better team won over the 180mins. Would never have beat this mob last season and thats with this defence.

    It better be, because this was nerve-shattering.

    Angeball is great fun against the SPL goal-fodderati and I think it could well win us the League, but he HAS to have a Plan B for matches where we face better opposition, or if we need to protect a lead when we get to squeaky-* time in a 2 legged tie.

    There’s absolutely NO shame in parking the bus when it matters! It’s served better teams than ours well…

    Going forward we need a defensive mid to offer the defence protection and some more mobility altogether in the midfield

    Our style of play will be punished in Europe, it already was tonight. AZ swarmed us when playing out from the back and it was difficult to get any momentum going after they scored. It’s the kind of thing a target man in the style of Dembele or Samaras would be good for.

    To get into the EL group stages with that defence is some effort.

    Back the guy for * sake. We’ve all been saying it for weeks.

    Think qualifying for the Europa group stage is a remarkable achievement based on where we were last season.

    Needs more than one tactic in Europe though, easy enough against domestic opponents though.

    This playing it out from the back is nervy as *. There's a time and a place for that.

    Nobody can say they thought we would make it here before he came in. Full credit to him. Needs more backing from the money men.

    Think that’s an important point, thought we were the better team over 2 legs, and the final aggregate score 3-2 was a fair reflection.

    Yeah didn’t help that McCarthy was out injured. I’m not sure I have faith in Soro.

    I feel the same, I was nervous those last 15 minutes. I really thought the Dutch would equalise but the boys played possession football and slowed it down and altered the pace of the game.

    There will be some sore boys out there tonight.
    I thought Taylor had broken his collarbone when he went down.
    Would not be surprised if Ralston was playing with concussion after that heavy knock.
    Admirable performance by Montgomery.
    Team was more composed in the second half even when under pressure.
    Stupid conceded goals really take the wind out of a team's sails. It was like the Gods of old were testing us.
    Not comfortable seeing Hart playing short out from the back. He releases the ball too late and am afraid he will slip or get caught out.
    Abada is worthy of praise, battled all night. Ralston again 100%.
    The team needs games like this to know what standard is expected of them to continue in Europe.
