    I think he’s a good mix between Ralston and Jura, he’s got the physicality and technical ability plus he’s deceptively fast.

    Just finding his confidence but I think the main thing first and foremost is he’s an upgrade on both Jura & Ralston defensively, reads & covers the backline very well.

    Seems solid defending, not sure he offers what Juranovic did cutting in but few players do. All told, it's a much better replacement than you'd expect. It's not going to leave a hole in that area for years like Tierney departing did and that in itself is progress.

    I think he's looked really good. Think he'll get better in the final third with confidence, quite a few times he's stopped in his tracks and turned back when I thought he could carry on to the line but so far he's looked a decent signing. I'd like to see Tony get another chance though, been unlucky with injuries this year. Good choices to have.

    Love the way he's settled in so effortlessly, his experience playing ice hockey has prepared him well for the rigours of the Scottish game lol.

    Great to see how well he seems to have settled. Just comes across as a really decent bloke.

    I think he's a solid defender, and he's overall done good since he's joined, but his attacking game needs major improvement.

    It won't be easy, getting used to this type of system, so still got plenty of time to improve in that regard.

    He does a lot right. Thought he was decent overall but needs to be braver in attack

    Very early days but at the moment I'll be worried if he's our starting RB in Europe next season.

    Decent defensively but going forward he looks worse than both Jura and Ralston.

    Hopefully he improves, I think he will though.

    Thought he played well, there are aspects of his game he can improve upon, think he's done well so far.

    Offers next to nothing in attack. Hoping he’s still settling in.
