    Bit rusty but good to have him back, needs to have a bit more confidence in himself to run forward with the ball

    He definitely struggles more than most when he’s rusty, which is tough considering he’s never going to be out and out first choice.

    Rustiness steadily disappearing throughout the game, 2nd half he’s been spot on.

    First half he looked shaky, but to some extent the whole back 4 did at points.

    Much better second half. Given AJ is out for a while good that he got minutes as he needs it with virtually no pre-season.

    Saw him down a can of WD40 half way through the second half.

    Was better. More fluid.

    Desperately need Johnston back. It's stuff of nightmares imagining Ralston in the CL.

    Always needs a run of games to get motoring and looks stiff ( or rusty like 10 billion folk have already said) and robotic but he's an able deputy and did fine.

    Looked well off it today. Some horror passing and decision making. Looked better going forward but defensively suspect.

    I'll give him some slack as he needs 2 months to get ready!. Was slightly better than Taylor but that isn't hard atm.

    I think he's technically quite limited TBH; but he reads the game really well (also in an attacking sense!). Could see him being a really good coach eventually.

    He's good enough to be a back up. No issues. Glad he's not first choice, though.

    Really don’t like him as a player, and defo don’t think he’s anywhere near good enough for us. HOWEVER, he is really good at buying fouls and being cute to take the pressure off us

    He's really good at defending when the team is boxed in. Saved us a few times. Shame he had to stay back at most set pieces.
