    Defensively wide open and caught out about 4 time's..

    Ok going forward. Lovely ball for the penalty but he's nowhere near it in recovering..

    For every good game he'll have, he'll always have many more like this. Need better..

    It's the glaring weakness in this side..

    Great pass for the penalty but other than that, it was a poor showing.

    One of the biggest myths I've seen on here is that Taylor is a good defender. He isn't. He's actually a really bad one. The amount of times he got beat today and the space open down his side was criminal. They were targeting him.

    He's far better in the build up and shows some decent link up play but it's nowhere near enough to be in this side. I'd put Juranovic there instead and bring Ralston back in.

    Really is the weak link in this side. Surely the one position we're really looking to improve on. Get Boli out and keep him as back up.

    Decent on the ball tonight but left us exposed down his side constantly.

    The way we play that’ll always be a problem but Taylor has no recovery pace and his positional sense isn’t good enough. Pretty much every attack from them came down that side.

    By far our weakest link.

    Aa bad a defensive display as it gets..

    Got done in the first half at least 4 time's miles away from where he was supposed to be and second half it kept happening....and with such ease..

    If that was Starfelt there would be calls for him to be bombed out for good. Starfelt has never been as bad defensively as Taylor was tonight..

    Shame as he is ok going forward and Ange clearly likes him....but he is so clearly our biggest weak link..

    Absolute dog *. Don’t rate him in the slightest. Caught out constantly, gives them too much room, too slow/lazy to recover, * on the ball like 0 technical ability and lost the ball a good few times just looks clueless. Need better. Surely scales is an upgrade for now

    Would do as back-up, but he's never a first team player.

    Sadly for the boy it was glaringly obvious tonight that he was by far the weak link. I'd try Scales in there or Juranovic with Ralston at RB.

    Dunno if that was hibs’ plan tonight. That long diagonal over Taylor was on pretty much all night and almost led to their goal. Ange should’ve recognised this and told him to close that space.

    Poor.

    He tried to cut one out first half and he painfully missed it and they were away..

    There was a 70/30 in his favour second half and he was still skinned..

    Happened all night..

    Even Jamie bandy leg's crock Murphy just came inside and done him all ends up with the drop of the shoulder late on..

    Pitifully out his depth there..

    Need to get Ralston back in the team and Juranovic back at LB, another day Nisbet doesn't miss that chance and it's a completely different game.

    Similar issues to Turnbull for me. Good footballing brain but doesn't have the physical attributes to defend in this system. Good link up going forward.

    If I was opposition manager, would defiantly be targeting him. He did spray some decent passes, but that one time he got on the end of a lovely move, at the byline and just kind of tripped over his feet and the ball trickled over the end line, gee whiz.
    We so need better.

    I thought he was honkin tonight along with Forrest.

    Forrest is a particular concern and looks like he's on the decline.
