    He was such a massive improvement when he came on. Needs to start the next match.

    He's so much better off the bench but definitely deserves to start. He constantly tries to make things happen

    Miles, miles better than Yang, should be starting until we bring another RW in.

    I thought he was garbage when he came on. His end product was shocking and constantly gave the ball away. Neither him or Yang are good enough to be starting games for us on the right.

    Thought he was our best player when he came on tbh. Constantly getting at them and creating chances

    Mental he's our best option - we just need to be ruthless and just cut Idah, Yang, and Kenny. Just praying they become good enough with little evidence to back it up. Awful.

    Was nowhere near that, he was direct Ill give him that but final ball was terrible and nade a lot of wrong choices. But at least was more direct than yang who all he ever does is get ball turn and pass back

    Are you kidding me?
    Was super positive (unlike Maeda and Yang) had good control, composure and moved across to the inside to create gaps for others.
    Changed the game - again.
    Shouldn't have to be - but he remains a key player

    No doubt showed more than Yang which is saying something cause i was writing Jamsey off a year or 2 ago.

    Cant get away from the game suited him more coming on with 25 mins or so to go. Tired St Mirren legs, thinking Yang might have even looked decent if roles we reversed.

    We just simply need better

    I'm absolutely not kidding. He made the same run and passed the ball into St Mirren defenders more than anything else. Being better than Yang is the only positive comment I can make. His lashed shot over the bar was poor as well. He shouldn't be a key player for his at his age and with his injury record.

    Our best player today by a mile. Super positive in his play and excellent decision making.

    He definitely brought a freshness to the team - especially in the attack. Was direct and was willing to take on the defenders in front of him but it's a sad reflection on the team when one of our oldest players can come on and do more in 30 mins than some of those all around him years younger

    Totally agree about Scales. Won everything in the air which was no mean feat against some of the giants he was up against

    Some good driving runs today to stretch St Mirren but passing and delivery was pretty wayward I thought.

    More effective than Yang who saw plenty of ball and did plenty little with it (one decent ball into the box)

    Yang is pish. Forrest did more in 2 minutes than Yang in the entire game.

    Should be starting until we bring in a new right winger.

    He wasn't amazing, but the difference from Yang to him is night and day.

    Needs to start until we sign a proper winger.
