    Thought he looked class today, got up and down the pitch well and tidied up a lot defensively. Some good link up too. Solid

    He was alright today, but he's going to need to do a lot better to displace Ralston.

    Never seen a player divide opinion so much in the last few comments :56:

    Thought he was brilliant.

    Not seeing him being any better on the right from the left. The few crosses he attempted where pretty poor. Some sloppy passing too.

    Will need to improve to have any chance of being ahead of Ralston when he is fit again.

    Not sold on him yet.

    He wasn't awful by any means but not really doing anything particularly impressive either.

    He plays left back like he does right back, he’s not a guy who’ll overlap and get to the byline and whip balls in and be up and down the wing all day. What he does is support every player around him, always leaves himself open for a pass, recycles possession, plugs the gaps, has wee one twos and keeps the width on the pitch.

    Plays it in a very different way than Ralston.

    Just not seeing it. Appears to get praise for playing out of position on the basis he'll be better at RB and add so much more. Didn't do that at all for me today over what Ralston offers. Couple of games, including midweek we wouldn't have won without crosses in from RB.

    If he's not the sort of player that can get to the byeline or cross the ball then some of the suggestions about him going to RW are out the window.

    Looks like it will be a straight choice between him and Ralston going forward.

    People were saying RW? That’s * bizarre.

    He was a massive part of helping the stranglehold we had on the game and the fact that they did not threaten at all. And they are a dangerous team, he was supporting the midfield massively and he’s good at it. As was Taylor on the other side, and it allowed Rogic, McGregor and Turnbull to run riot.

    I’m firmly in the Ralston is the first choice right back for me, I prefer the way he plays it, his aerial ability, his passing ability and that he’s a big danger going forward but Juranovic is a different option who plays the role in a different manner to a very high standard.

    He plays left back the exact same way he does right back, for me he’s the first choice left back just now.

    Not me, but the RW idea was floated by those trying to get both Juranovic and Ralston in the same team to be fair.

    You're right they didn't threaten too much.

    Will be interesting to see what happens once Ralston is fit again.

    Weirdly, done some of his best off the left when he was covering.

    Needs to shape up his passing and crossing though, can be extremely sloppy

    Great player but does need to work on his concentration, plays at least a couple very sloppy passes per game.

    Thought he did ok at RW when Ralston came on. Definitely an option going forward although I would like more cover at RB if that was the case.

    His tracking back is unreal, so much energy.
