    Must be injured, surely.

    Can only hope he was injured today because Ralston should never, ever be in the team ahead of him.

    We need to be very careful with him. Look what happened to Tierney and the state of him now, after being over used as a young guy.
    AJ coming back slightly earlier will also help the situation.

    He became a 25 million quid Premiership player? The fact we signed him back is irrelevant to the point that young players need to play to get better.

    He was pish v Braga hooked at HT, so I can see why he was left out today.. he'll have bad games, consistency the most difficult thing for a young player..

    I like him, but hopefully AJ not far away ..

    He wasn’t the only one though, Kasper was worse and never got hooked or left out. If it is because that then it’s * man management destroying the boys confidence.

    Not sure, got to protect him too.. a lot of tension today, two bad displays in a row for such a young player can be difficult to recover from.

    Surprised Donovan wasn't on the bench at least but would agree.

    Today ended well but there was a lot of unhappiness today. A performance similar to midweek would not have helped him one bit.

    Fair point but also pressure is how you see if players will cope as well as good experience for them in how to deal with it.

    Colby has to be ahead of Ralston now surely. Hopefully thats also the thoughts of Brendan.

    Once AJ is back, Colby has to be our 2nd choice/main backup. I don’t want to see Ralston on the bench again never mind the starting 11.

    Forget the money and think of the player, that’s what we should be doing. Tierney is done at 27, I’d hate for us to be responsible for doing the same thing again.

    Think of the club, that’s our only job. I’d also disagree that he’s done. Plus he’s no 27 either if we’re being pernickety.
