    Decent first half but midfield was so unbalanced today hard to say he had a good game.

    Looks good. Tidy on the ball, and quick.

    I'd be giving him a few more games at LB, see if we can use him there for the season.

    He looks a good player either way.

    Looks a very good player considering he’s been chucked in with hardly any training and on the opposite flank

    Should've been given set pieces to try. At least get that right peg used a few times. Solid in defense.

    Looks really good, comfortable footballer, quick, calm under pressure and tidy. Will be great at right-back.

    I wouldn't as although Ralston is solid and playing well he's not as comfortable a footballer as him and not as natural going down the wing. We will be a better team with Juranovic at right-back even if Taylor was still left-back as it brings more balance to the attack - we never give the ball to Ralston really, we always play from the left and it's because we are tidier down there but we don't need to now.

    We need Montgomery or Scales to step up there.

    I honestly dont know what else the boy has to do to prove himself, he's been fantastic going forward and has been solid defensively.

    Will Juranovic go on to be our RB? Who knows, but for now he's either on the bench or playing out of position I.e LB, and with Taylor injured I'd be going for the latter.

    Taylor although gives the ball away more and can't beat a man and defensively maybe worse, his movement is better and he recieves a ball better and is involved in a lot more play - really because we pass it around the back and usually come down the left because Ralston is less good at passing and moving out of defence.

    Juranovic is better than with him and Taylor I think we'd see more balance to our play, Abada hardly recieved a pass today partly because we always come down the left and we do that because we always do that as the left-backs get the ball up the park better.

    The way we play we want our left and right backs to be the main ones who take the ball in behind the oppositions midfield. Taylor is limited but he does do that as he is more comfortable on the turn and his movement is better, Ralston doesn't really help us do that which is how our play ends up like 70-30 down the left compared to the right. Juranovic doing what Taylor does far better than Taylor opens up both sides of the park to come forward and makes us less predictable.

    Ralston was our best player today and so far this season. Real conundrum.

    I'd drop Abada for Juranovic before I'd drop Ralston. Also need someone to help out in midfield on the right.

    Was thrown in the deep end out of position and he had a good game.

    Thing is you can’t drop Tony for him.

    Talk about thrown in at the deep end...and being played out of position. All things considered he did very well.

    Him and Juranovic are going to be excellent in that position.

    Thought he was excellent given he played on the wrong side for him. Not the answer long term in LB as don't think he had one meaningful cross in, so think him and Ralston will need to battle it out for RB or learn to rotate.

    I'm not a real manager, but I'd do it like this: tell both that they will get an equal number of games, and stick to that promise.

    His desire to get the ball onto his right slowed us down a few times.

    When he’s on the right he will be deadly. If he had a left foot I’d probably keep him left for the foreseeable.
