    He actually done not bad for a change going forward, there was 3/4 times in the game he carried the ball on a run which he used to do a lot a few years ago but never really does now, was wanting to be a bit of a driving force and did it well.

    Shows that a 4-2-3-1 could be more effective allowing him to run with it more.

    Was pretty decent 2nd half I thought

    Think he’s been gick the past few games tbh. I really don’t know why he’s still being played as a solo 6 though. He’s so much better further forward

    Having Arnie beside Callum in a double pivot for the rest of the season in a 4-2-3-1 would be ideal, until at least we could get a proper DM in January.

    It would take the weight, burden and pressure off Callum in midfield, and then rest him in certain games in between, and ideally Callum could possibly consider retiring at the end of the season with his reputation and status relatively intact.

    First goal I thought Scales could have done a bit better.

    But he was frightened of kicking the guy on the head, giving a penalty away and getting sent off.

    McCowan, Scales, CCV could have all done better for their 1st goal.. but its a terrible touch from Ralston that gives away possession initially

    I like Donovan, he's got a good physique and mobility, but he's still got an awful lot to learn for game intelligence and positioning, that will only come with in game experience. He's still susceptible to that smart ball slipped in just behind him, but so are a lot of full backs, even Juranovic was exposed there, and it depends on who you are up against too, if it is a speed merchant, then you are in big trouble.

    We really need AJ back soon.
