    Genuinely one of the most mental football opinions I’ve seen on here…


    Thought it’d been posted before but thought nobody would be that mad :giggle1:

    I get we have to call it as we see it, much as I love the guy, whether it was a fitness issue but his lack of class at this level was really exposed last night. Loved the way he stuck at it right till the death.

    Thought he was poor last night up until the last 20 minutes. Not sure whether it was fitness or not but he was caught out of position a lot and was jogging back to cover half arsed rather than sprinting back. Done well for the goal and I think he was spurred on a bit after that but was too little too late imo. He’s been a great improvement this season and will be good cover but I think we should be starting juranovic rb from now. He’s a level above

    Absolutely love his attitude and commitment and he has improved tremendously this season under Ange. So all credit to Ralston. I was of the opinion he was not even close to been good enough to be our back up right back but I stand corrected as he most certainly is and should get a new contract when the current one year deal ends next summer. But he is still very limited both technically and in his 1v1 defending which was very evident last night.

    I’ve thought about it and think it’s because the full backs drift inside and operate there sometimes in this formation… still a mental opinion but there must be some reasoning behind it.

    Defiantly should be given a long term contract right now. Can be a crucial squad player for us every season- game time against dross, covering injuries, suspensions and rest periods. Could see him having 25-30 appearances a season.

    Big Ralstoninho is on 3 goals and 1 assist this campaign so far, the exact same goal contributions as Morales

    Summed up perfectly.

    He's not for me the level to be first choice right back, but I'd live having him in he squad as he won't let us down for commitment when required. Attitude often kicks talents *.

    Defo a new contract for the lad.

    You can really hear how much Ange has shaped his frame of mind.

    Terrible preformance today by Celtic - I can’t help think the result would of been different if he played .

    as he is always looking to attack and drive to the by line. Also battling for every ball right up until the final whistle

    His replacement did not exactly cover himself in glory today.

    Ralston was * on Thursday, wasn't surprised to see him rested today. Wasn't a case of him being dropped

    His first half performance was * rotten today. Not stopping crosses, giving the ball away, switching off. I’m sure it was his hospital ball that almost got McCarthy taken off with a nasty injury.

    Hopefully Juranovic is okay. Need to give him a run at right back.
