    Really slow from a standing start and on the turn. Its why he was subbed off against them at half time earlier in the season..

    And no chance we're signing another left sided centre half when we have 2, with Trusty costing 6 mill. If we bring someone in, it'll be right side to replace the likes of Nawrocki..

    Prefer him as an option at LB. More physical and causes less damage / less risk than at CB.

    Getting rinsed for the goal and i understand to some degree as he rightly shows him the outside but then seems surprised when he goes the only way he can. Running through mud.

    Think you are entitled to expect your keeper to not grt beat at his near though. One of them you know you are letting a shot away but you trust your keeper, especially KS.

    Dumb * tackle for that free kick that led to first goal.

    He can't be first backup to Trusty and CCV. Drop off is far too much. If someone offered money in the summer we should take it.

    The guy is a tryer but he is not the back up standard we need, move him on as the English championship is his place.

    Lost a bit of confidence lately, kinda understandable given he's been dropped and isn't match fit.
    Coming on as sub in a fast paced game also tough.
    Clearly squad player now.

    Not even sure I want him as 4th choice. Our 3rd choice has to be much closer in level to Trusty and CCV, and the 4th I'd prefer a Murray or youth that has progression in them.

    He was brilliant at the start of the season but since Trusty has become first choice, when he comes on he seems to try too hard, and he was reckless yesterday. I'd be happy if he stayed but I think he could get first team football at a high level elsewhere if he wanted, so might look elsewhere.

    He signed a 4yr deal, last season.. can't see him getting a better move..

    His poor timing cost us the equaliser.

    He's had some good performances but too many bombscare moments.

    Trusty is superior but he also has had some poor moments.. which we're going to get with so many gsmes..

    Hopefully Scales finds some form as we'll see rotation as we come towards the end of the season.

    Was just really in relation to people saying we should move him on. I think he's too good to be on the bench all the time so hopefully there is more rotation as you say. I don't think he'd be short of admirers so if we ever were to look to move him on I wouldn't be surprised if he considered it.

    Was very poor and been a bombscare lately.

    People got carried away when he wasn't as poor as everyone thought he would be last season.

    For the SPL he can play the odd game when needed but honestly if we want to do something in Europe season after season then players like him and Taylor sadly have no place in the matchday squad.

    Not playing regularly is obviously affecting him. Better than he showed yesterday but if we are going into the market for a CB we have an issue now. Neither left-sided CBs as good as we would want, but need cover on the right too.

    He's went from a reliable and adequate player with consistency, albeit limited ability.
    To now becoming a bit of a bombscare.


    Was always eventually gonna happen I guess, why the vast majority have wanted an improvement on the position - Trusty we have that a little better option.

    But fast becoming unreliable at times.

    We don't have the space to need to give a bang average player game time to keep him at average.
    Need to have a player above average and ready to truly push Trusty and CCV for a position.
    Ideally one not so one sided.

    He's done fantastic, much like Taylor, in giving his all and being there when it really mattered. But times up.

    Dunno mate, probably doesnt help but his form fell off a cliff about this time last season too and he was playing week in week out.
