    First half played out the way I thought it would. We will be defending on a paddy field the second half so can't afford any misplaced passes or slips. I said before the game conditions would be a leveller. Set pieces are going to be important this second half

    Just get us to Hampden. I don’t really care how we do it. The games usually take care of themselves if we can get there.

    Edouard looking poor again. Bitton playing well.

    Don’t rate Hayes in the slightest but might be a better shout than Taylor today. Taylor is just too slow.

    A scrappy Scrap on a scrappy surface. In our middle to front only Forrest and McGregor trying to get something going but not very successful. The rest are anonymous with only the defence and goalie getting pass marks. We are in a game here.

    Rogic for Christie is an absolute must.

    Christie has been abysmal. Lost possession about 5 time's at least that half with dreadful passing..

    Taylor looking pish. So slow can't get by his man. Getting beat by the same man. Crossing has been poor..

    Strikers well off the pace. Eddy looks reserved and isn't even pull pelt running at time's..

    Need a lot more..

    Pitch is horrendous and our passing's * as a result bitton's been our best player.

    Poor first half, we're just not really at it.

    Bitton has been the best player. Looked steady and strong in defence and has used the ball pretty well. Brown & Griffiths have both been guilty of playing some horrible passes, and Christie & Edouard don't look up to speed.

    He needs to though with the 352, McGregor supports Taylor the same way so its then down to Eddy or Griff to drop into the space in the middle.

    Need to do a lot better in the 2nd half.

    We're missing Ntcham's composure in the midfield, to put the foot on the ball and pick passes. It's not a day for fancy football.

    I'd be tempted to put Elhamed on for Griff and go:

    Forster
    Elhamed Ajer Julien Taylor
    Broony Bitton
    Forrest Christie McGregor
    Eddie

    Bitton to do the Ntcham role, in the absence of him.

    Think he looks leggy. Been overplayed this season.

    Wouldn't be against Bayo an Klimala both coming on with ElHamed on for Ajer as Rogic only midfielder on the bench
