    He took his goal very well, but he was * overall. Gave away the ball plenty times. Gave 100%, which is more than some did mind you.

    Hes done himself no harm, honest lad who at the moment deserves his place! May still develop onto a very good player which if I'm honest I didn't think he had in his locker.
    Well done Tòny

    Fantastic goal, but otherwise *. Poor lads nowhere near Celtic quality not his fault, not the managers but the boards.

    Took his goal well, but why are the fullbacks playing centre mid?

    Fantastic goal. Another decent performance. Wish others would do similar.

    We have little option right now at RB, until we get a new guy in.
    Only other option, right now, would be to give Walsh a shot at RB, played there a lot underage I believe.

    Really upping a game that I don't think most of us thought he had, but in honesty still only good enough because there's nothing else.

    Crazily enough, I think if we persevere with him he'll turn out to be a good player for us, but there's no way we do that, because we'd drop points all over the place developing all the youths we have and there's no way the fans would tolerate it.

    We're not exactly winning without the youth experiments either.

    Very solid effort by him which is all anyone can ask. Not good enough to be our long term right back, but if he could turn in performances like that regularly he would be solid enough back up.

    Oldest defender against the Danes was 23, new 'mature' defender is 26. Average age of the team that started was about 23, I think. If that's not experimenting with youth, I'm not sure what is...

    We're playing with our squad like a team that's in administration - barring the multimillion pound signings, of course. Any team that ever did radical overhaul with youth lost bucket loads before turning a corner, so it's not unusual. Big question is WHY? Why are we doing this to ourselves? If board said it was a strategy and explained it maybe folk could bear it, and possibly even get onboard, but right now it just seems like incompetence.

    We all know the fullbacks need upgraded but left back should be priority bcoz Taylor is definitely the worse of the 2.

    We are in a state similar to administration, but it is illegal, and done so that the board members can get richer.

    At least he tries and gives 100 per cent not like some other player I could mention Mr Eduoard .

    Maybe it's about profit the bigger the profit at the end of each financial year the bigger the bonus these parisites get into their bank accounts .
    In their eyes we can't be buying 30 million in players to improve the squad as that would affect their bonuses and that's the kind of board we have only self interest in making profit and money for themselves and they need chased out the club .

    Try him up front. Couldn't be any worse than the useless * currently strolling about looking for his dinner money.

    I don’t think anyone can dispute the fact that he’s not of the calibre we demand. However, the guy gives his all for the team and the club and for that I cannot fault him. A stark contrast to the * up front who’s no broke sweat in months.
