At the match i thought Dessers didn't play well, need to watch it later tonight to see if i see what others have seen and change my mind.

He set up both goals and was a constant nuisance in and around their box.

If Jack isn't fit he should not be playing at that level

A Jack replacement should have been a priority this summer. It’s a weak position.

It’s only half time we need to defend solidly that’s a big asking with our full backs and try and snatch a goal on the break, it could be done .

We could do with a Brahim Hemdani type player for Europe. Don't need one for 90% of domestic games but games against them and in Europe this type of player would be useful.

It’s all immaterial now but I think Hagi could have played some nice simple passes in last night’s game alas we’ll never know.

When we play at this level, there are a few weak positions - add Tav and BB to that list.

Absolutely, one of my favourite players of ours, guy was fantastic.

I think we're being a tad harsh on our midfield last night, considering the job they were asked to do against (frankly) a better team. The three of them had a monumental task. Ryan Jack is coming in for some criticism here but I thought him and Raskin did a huge job protecting our defence, particularly our roaming fullbacks. Without their sheer work rate, particularly out of possession, we could easily have been overwhelmed in that first half and it's no surprise they all tired later on.
