    I'm a fan of Boli and to be fair I've not seen enough of Taylor with us to judge him but it would be criminal if he doesn't get a chance to claim that spot now with a reassuring run of games.

    He's got decent enough feet for going past players, he did a quick outside of the boot flick to go past someone last night and his deliveries are excellent, although it's always good to have someone with the quality of Griff on the end of them, that volley was pure class.

    Total turnaround today, back to normal.

    Continually turned back and needing too many touches.

    Think just going 352 will be our best bet with more natural wide players out there.

    He’s defensively sound and tidy in possession, but lacks a burst of pace to be a real threat going forwards.

    I do think he’s the most reliable of the three options we have, but Lenny got it right in bringing Hayes on to add a more attacking threat today.

    Not suited to wing-back, better with a wide player in front of him to create space and run in behind.

    Taylor and McGregor were too similar on the left today both play 1-2s but neither makes the right runs to get in behind.

    Not prepared to bench him. Not good today but most of us were * until the last 15-20.

    Getting slaughtered but I think that's harsh.

    Dust it off and move on, wee man.

    I agree, not suited to wing back, would really go with the likes of Forrest, Mo and JF out wide, maybe even Christie if Rogic is playing.

    Thought the praise midweek was a bit OTT, few crosses against a hapless St Johnstone defence

    Decent moments but still a way to go

    I can’t remember one trick from Izzy.

    Maybe feints, slow motion step overs and cutting inside at a push.

    He keeps the ball and gets stuck in well but you could tell things were just getting stuck up that corner, him and McGregor turned into the chuckle brothers "to me to you to me to you" constantly. Edouard never came out left to get involved though we probably did need an extra runner like the Jullien goal Hayes and McGregor did the same only Christie had made a run in behind and we got a goal.

    Hes not a wingback, i think hes a steady left back, hes being asked to play out of position.
    Once elyounoussi is back he slots in there

    He's a tidy footballer with a good cross. But lacks that something extra to be a top player. He's still good though, might grow more as a player over time.

    Thought he had a good first half then dropped off in the second

    Wasn't at his best today but i'd still keep him in the lineup for Motherwell, another stinker and i'd probably bring Bolingoli back in

    5/10 performance against bottom of the table Hamilton unfortunately isn't good enough, then again a left back shouldn't be starting left mid. Didn't have the burst of pace to get past their fullback (even overlapping runs he couldn't get past the lad). Calvin Miller would've probably offered more in a 3-5-2 than Taylor did today.....if Lennon goes back to 4 at the back hopefully we can see all he has to offer

    He seemed to lack confidence today , didn’t want to take on his man and go round the outside .
