    The lad gets a bit of stick, sometimes quite rightly, but credit where it's due, thought he played well tonight. Put himself about, worked hard off the ball, few nice wee touches. Good to see

    He was pish, never got involved at all. McGregor is better out wide than him.

    Thought he done well tonight, he was tireless and made some very good runs. Wee pass for Armstrong when Fon Williams made a good save was so unlucky.mhe can be happy with himself tonight.

    Wow you really love to hate GMS don't you? You never seem to miss an opportunity to slate the guy even on his good days, and even when it's clear that his effort and willingness to work is right up at the top of the squad. McGregor is in no way, shape, or form a better wide player than GMS.

    I dont hate him he's just *. Powdderpuff running about, his defending is pish as well never actually attempts to win the ball just jogs about like a dafty. It was noticable how much better McGregor was at getting in peoples faces and winning it back earlier. McGregor is a better user of the ball, stronger and more clever movement as well.

    He consistently tries to win back balls and constantly looks knackered because of his running all over the pitch. To try and act like effort is an issue for him or that he 'jogs about' is ridiculous to me. McGregor is simply a different type of player to me entirely. Better user of the ball perhaps and better positioning (considering he is, after all, a CM by nature). However I would not say McGregor is stronger and I really disagree that he has more clever movement than GMS. GMS has real lethal potential down the flank, that bit of skill, and excellent pace. All of those things he does better than McGregor which is why he is much better suited on the wing than him.

    Agree with you on this.

    I thought he was poor tonight, especially first half. Beat a few players on a couple ocassions but other than that done nothing of note.

    We will need to address the wide areas come the summer when Roberts goes back down South.

    Only saw the second half but I thought he was fine. Think a lot of the criticism he gets on this thread is harsh as *.

    Worked hard enough but genuinely I didn't think he was all that..

    It certainly wasn't a statement that made me think 'i hope he's playing every week'..

    Sorry but that's how I feel..

    He just doesn't have enough for me, I think he's an Aberdeen/Hearts level player.

    I agree, really. Better than he's been in the past, but still not enough to displace Forrest when he's fit.

    If I'm being fair. Was probably the best I've seen him under Brendan, which tells it's own story..

    Nothing to write home about, but also really didn't do anything wrong tonight.

    He's never going to be better than Forrest or Roberts but for a 3rd choice, I'm ok with that.
