    just after we scored the first today,miller was put through by a ball that Wilson just watched go past him. The more frustrating thing was he refusal to chase the ball once he had noticed the danger. Thankfully Rogne noticed the danger and managed to get in a good challenge. Our fullbacks have to take responsibility for quite a few of the goals we have conceded

    it is a dillema though. Do we break them up by signing a CH in the window? Misun is also meant to be good.

    They was excellent today but there was key changes today , both our full back never pushed on as much and Mullgrew was nearly playing as a wing back giving Izzy added protection , then we had the excellent Kayal sitting and Joe Ledley in there it gave us a added balance for a change .

    Think you must look at who is playing in front of them aswell as this has given them an added confidence ,Kayal is there protecting them and he is calling the shots because he is very vocal aswell ,he takes up great positioning when under threat and pushes the team forward when needed ,Rogne and Dan with Kayal in front of them is becoming a hard nut to crack.

    Lennon would be silly if he broke this partnership that those 3 have just now .

    The tactics have made them look worse then they are 100%.

    Today we played with 2 centre mids that were told to plug any gaps created by the full backs going forward and they did. Playing Mulgrew at left mid was another masterstroke that paid off because his delivery was first class and he tracked every run going by him.

    Above all else though, I thought Rogne turned in a performance that will see him 1 day becoming top, top drawer if he continues along the same lines.

    What i liked about him was he didn't mess about, no lingering or hesitation on the ball, he may be young in years but i thought he showed great maturity at times, if he can remain injury free we are on to a winner.............:50:

    thought rogne was superb today, not convinced about maj for some reason, he makes me nervous. however the midfield were good and defended well which helped. i thought wilson had a shocker of a game today although he usually plays quite well so i'll forgive him this one.
