    The manner in which he hit that penalty, in the 93rd minute, in a title race, for an additional 2 points, is * unacceptable.

    1 week ago there was so much promise. Fast forward to how we're all feeling about him tonight and there's raw fury. It'll calm down and the next goal or 2 he scores will help tame it further. But no doubt about it he made a total * of things today. Personal glory-hunting is an absolute no-go.

    It's his way of taking a penalty. You see it all the time from players. I don't agree with the style, it was a poor penalty, but if it would have gone in you'd have people saying cool as a cucumber, terrific penalty etc.

    Tbf whoever thought he was gonna be a superstar based on a couple of lay offs, a goal from 5 yards out and chasing after the ball…they need to shake their head.

    He’s largely done * all in his cameos. No idea why some people were getting so excited about him.

    I would say any player covered themselves in glory today, making 1 player a scapegoat because he missed a pen. * me it's like England going out the Euros again.

    He was * all day and * up another great chance a minute after the penalty miss. It might be easy to say now but like others have said I had a horrible feeling he was going to miss based on his performance so far in the match. You're given a gilt edged opportunity out of nowhere to put the huns under severe pressure, if you're going to take the penalty off Juranovic then you'd better * bury it.

    Today he looked like a bigger version of Albian Ajeti, which is very worrying indeed. Although in fairness for all his faults Ajeti would have probably scored from the spot. * raging with him after seeing that and maybe my reaction is a bit OTT but he has to offer more or he can * off with the aforementioned Albian Ajeti.

    Didn't go in though did it. The guy has put his ego before the needs of the team.

    To be fair its not the first time a player has taken a whole season to settle in Scotland, i agree he does look like a poor signing.

    From what I have seen of him, I am unconvinced. There's a reason top teams were not after him I fear.

    I just hope its early days and he will come good and not be added to the list of scepovic, ciftci et al

    Ralston put in a beauty of a cross and jumps about 4" off the ground. A few min later, he gets the ball out near the corner flag, just gives it away, then the boy gifts it back to him and he bundles it out over the end line. Thats all in the first 5 min and he goes on to have a dreadful game, way too static.
    Then he pulls that stunt at the death.

    Makes you wonder why he grabbed the ball in the first place. Seems counter-productive to try and take the penalty when you're clearly bricking it and have no confidence about you. Dreadful stuff from him today. Hopefully bounces back.

    Jokeamikis, whoever has been in charge of signing strikers in past couple of years need a kick in the hawmaws.

    Ajeti when we had Toney and a * striker with 1 good season.

    Ah well.

    Just keep Kyogo through the middle, aye he misses at a fair rate but he offers so much more.

    We've not seen enough of him to offer a fair assessment..
