    Whit?

    Commons creates goals and scores goals.

    Armstrong does * all.

    Out wide or in the middle the guy does * all. He gave the ball away time and time and time and time again.

    So you'll have seen him play his preferred position in order to come to that conclusion? Oh no you haven't because he hasn't played there!

    He's played through the middle a couple of times and done * all.

    And by the way, just because he plays a bit more to the left of the pitch doesn't excuse him from doing nothing. His scoring/assist record in his time here is * garbage.

    He just brings nothing to the team.

    Adds nothing and won't improve from here.

    Cut losses in the summer.

    He's a good player, he done really well at times last night driving us forward - much better in a central role and should only be played there from now on. No where near average or garbage there's a lot more to come from him and we'll see it if he's played centrally.

    I thought he played well tonight until like someone said earlier he fell away in the last twenty minutes but in the first half he made some great dynamic runs with the ball taking the pressure off and bringing us into an attacking position, this sort of thing is vital in Europe.

    Absolutely spot on :50:
    Il admit I was wrong with the Armstrong one though, i genuinely thought he would come good. GMS however, is *. Called it ages ago.

    He's a bang average player ,what annoyed me last night was with only a couple of mins left needing a goal to stay in the competition ,dandering over to take a corner like he hadn't a care in the world .ignoring * tactics ,team selection or quality of the players there seems to be a real attitude problem

    The whole team gave the ball away all night, constant * * passes or aimless balls.

    Doesn't have that urgency that is required under our formation. Gives away cheap possession and is generally frustrating. I would like to see him get sold off.

    Better in a central role and at 23 shouldn't be written off, see enough last season to understand there is a player there.

    Still don't understand why he played that corner short. He did set Griffiths up with a chance late on but unfortunately, Leigh fluffed it.

    Armstrong is going to be a great player, has bags of drive and energy and gets beyond the last man, but dont think we are seeing the best of him in the wide areas.

    Technically not great, I'd even say Mcgregor is better on the ball. Good athlete though so get him into the middle of the park and let him run about.

    Have big concerns he will be in our starting 11 going into the qualifiers next season.

    Hopefully Henderson comes back and claims his place.

    Fud!

    Couldn't even clear the first man on the edge of the box from a free kick

    I always liked him but identified early on he is no left winger. I am starting to get irritated seeing him shoehorned into the side ahead of better options.

    May just be his worst performance for us. He gave the ball away nearly every time he got on it.

    Ain't the best SA we have.

    Shown all he can do, which isn't much.

    Give wee Scott Allan a run.
