Anthony Ralston

Yep seen it. You can tell he’s one of us

 

He should be starting ahead of Juarnovic.

 

The Kyogo goal was textbook - O'Reilly put it right on Tony Ralstons head at the front post who flicked it on very nicely for Kyogo to put it in - Ralston seems to be heavily involved in many of the goals when he plays; he is one of the most reliable players in the squad; a consistently high performer

 

If Juranovic is the player some people claim he is then he should be capable of putting in top quality performances that blows Tony Ralston out of the water so there is no debate over who should start - He never does

 

Levels above JJ at the moment.

He's had Kent in his pocket more than once against them. Kent's no world beater, but he can be tricky and has given Tone problems.

I also think some of what makes JJ good is lost on fans because it's not as obvious as say a cross leading to a shot. A lot of that dangerous link-up play we saw today on the left was absent on our right, and Ralston's a big reason for that. That kind of interplay isn't his strength, where on the other hand it is JJ's and it shows whenever one is playing over the other.

Both great options though for different reasons.

 

He’s way ahead of Jura in terms of quality in the final 3rd, which is key domestically.

 

His crossing into the box is very good and seems to go unnoticed by many

 

Really enjoyed his performance today. Lots more going up that side than usual and he definitely loves getting into a forward position too.

Delight from him at the fourth deserved to be on the Sportscene highlights.

 

Yep seeing him at the game today, he’s ahead of Jura for the next few domestic games in my opinion

 

The amount of crucial assists and goals he’s got in the last 18 months is * mental btw. He doesn’t seem to do uncrucial ones

 

It's funny because I don't think it's wrong to say he doesn't have the ability on the ball like Jura, what I mean by that is generally his touch, skill and overall ability to move with it at pace.

But clearly what is evident is that he's able to use it better right now than Jura, his crossing is criminally underrated, he's like forrest in his running and being direct.

For now I think he should stay in the 11

 

It would’ve been good to see him in Europe, as I don’t think wingers would’ve fancied his physicality. His pace is also deceiving and would’ve seen him better handle opposing wingers.

Really hope he gets a run in the team now.

 

Was listening to a wee guy Sean Martin earlier and he points out things I dont notice in game's..

He mentioned Ralston was covering if Taylor never blocked that shot on the line. You're that engrossed in the game and * it going in that sometimes you don't even see bit's like that..

 

Aye I mentioned that in the Taylor thread I think, I only noticed that after watching the replays. Shows the commitment of our squad an dthe organisation of our FB's to be in the right place defensively, not the first time either have been in the right place at the right time, TR more so

 

Massive performance again... Take a bow Raldo

 

Crossing was hoaching all game but defensively he was top notch!

 

Started the game very poorly and his crossing was * today but his contribution in the second half was monumental.

 

Aye he was like Maeda with his crossing but came on to a game. Was superb when they broke and had a 2 on 1 down his side..

They were in otherwise..

 

I think he should be first choice currently. I think when both are at their best, Juranovic is a better player, but it feels like Jura has been off it this season.
