    Bit of a dodgy first half, thought we were all over the place. Left side and central midfield stayed home it seems.

    2nd half much more composed and Cluij werent overly dangerous, seemed they stretched themself innfirst half.

    Bolongoli, ffs what was that. El Hamed wow very good, seems a good singing. Ajer he is just so solid and oozing talent!! And Forest seems a treath all the time.

    All in all a good result. Still favourites to go through.

    Decent result. But we'll need to be much better to even beat them next week, never mind deal with Prague.

    They'll be going down the left every time on Tuesday.

    I'm fairly confident we'll do the business at home but that was a wee bit too nervy towards the end for my liking.

    Nowhere near our best tonight. Far too nervous and not enough defensive concentration, especially by Boli. That said in Europe we have the away goal and advantage now lies with us.

    Next Tuesday should see a full house and I see no reason why we can't get into the play offs.

    Happy with result considering we were poor and had so many off form players.

    I'll take the draw, but we didn't look too clever too often.

    I thought the attitiude we had was a bit strange, seemed very content with the draw when IMO we should be pushing to get the 2nd and get the tie over with. I think they tired and if we had stuck Griff on and went two up top for the last 15 we could have won the game.

    Good result on paper but I'm disappointed with that..

    A side that was really out on their feet and there for the taking for me..

    Keeping Boli on the full game. Leaving Morgan on for as long as he was. Putting Christie wide right..

    All pretty odd decisions I thought..

    We should really damage this mob next week..

    Shown up some glaring weaknesses in the side though..

    Lack of power in central midfield. Left back. Left wing when Mikey is out..

    Quicker Simunovic isn't a first team centre half the better as well..

    We missed ntchams creativity. Missed Mikey big time tonight. 3 positives were Forrest elhamed and edouard. Need to be more clinical though and Lenny needs to sort out the defence. Need an upgrade on boli at lb and can't be so slack at cb. Thought jullien looked solid when he came on

    Would have taken this at the start of the game. Not a great performance, as stated earlier only think Eddy, Forrest and Elhamed played well. I don't think McGregor or Christie were terrible but weren't as productive as usual, Christie was still working hard.

    Serious questions raised about the left back situation as that just was not good enough from Boli, one of the worst performances I've seen, especially in first half. Hearing that a fee has been agreed for Tierney this evening just highlights this even more, needs to be addressed. Lenny's the manager and have to trust him, but he surely must have seen the problems.

    Anyway, a fair result that puts us in driving seat but need to up our game at home.

    That was a GOOD result. I'd have bitten your hand off for 1-1 before the game.
    I know the performance wasn't the greatest, but surely to *, we can't play any worse.

    This is a good result. Bolingoli... I'm sure there's a player in there, but he's not ready yet.

    Overall we were bang average tonight, defensively we were poor, midfield was lost at times, going forward we seemed to run out of ideas with the final ball. They were not any better, we should be too much for them at home with our pace and slicker pitch. But we really need to step it up if we want to get to the group stages, but 1-1 away from home at this stage in Europe is not a bad result

    A right awkward team to play against. They just seem to hit and hope like every minute of the game is the last minute of a cup tie.

    Horrible style to play against if the ball breaks awkwardly. A team you really need to keep the ball from better than what we did.

    Smarter at home, tire them out, play smart, hopefully get a goal before their legs go through patience then capatilise when their race has been ran.

    A good result but we were really bad. Bolingoli will need to do a lot to recover from that game and Morgan is not good enough for us.

    Elhamed was excellent, i'f im being honest here i think we should put all our effort towards signing tierneys replacement, maybe the back-up RB can wait...
