    It was him that played a belter of a ball in to O’Riley for the winner

    Thought he looked really leggy at times, especially trying to get back in transition..

    Overall thought he showed good physicality and good on the ball..

    Was it? Fair enough, will have a look.

    Still frustrated me with how little he does at points, tonight several times MJ was filling in for him defensively, no idea where he went to. The right side going forward was far too passive. Taylor gets pelters but often that's because he's actually trying to affect the game.

    Thought he came onto a game in the 2nd half, done some power of running got very little help from MJ or Forrest.

    Just said the exact opposite above :56:

    Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

    I thought he was class.

    Incredible block at the back, where he came out of nowhere.

    Solid.

    He was doing all the attacking running for MJ :56:

    Poor first half, superb second half. Absolutely bust a gut.

    He gave it everything and as a result I think he was blowing out his hoop at the end, should have just lumped the baw away when he got his pocket picked off that Menthol lad.

    Missed a lot of the first half but from what I seen, he was a * animal at times defensively. Starting to get the buzz back for this guy, he looks like he's sick fed up of being average and is ready to break * necks.

    He's still no Gregg "wee hun" Taylor though. Not even close tonight. Needs to kick on to think of matching Gregsy.

    GT was brilliant tonight. The 'wee hun' patter was a term of endearment.

    But aye, hoping to see a continued improvement in AJ's performances for the next wee while. Culminating in a hunskelping masterclass on the 30th, akin to JJ's a couple years ago.

    Seems to love playing against them. Will hazard a guess and say he will make his mark on 30th.

    Did he play a pass that wasn't behind or under hit first half?

    A shambles..

    Worst I've seen him today, I would give Ralston a run for a few games.

    Did nothing first half, Ralston so much more positive and involved than him.
