Jozo immense. Armstrong missing and looked unhappy when subbed, get him shipped out now as we have plenty to play his position. And Leigh, "ur teams died mate, beat it" Griff made huge difference when he came on. No fears for next round. Back to La Ramblas shortly! HH.

Armstrongs been missing since the team came back! Clear as day that all the contract stuff is in his mind! Take the highest bid and move on! Thought we won in 2nd gear to be honest! Some of the lads are still finding there feet like Sinclair Hayes and big rogic! Once they've a few more games under there belts they'll be back to normal! Saying for months now we need a CB brought in and hope we get one! Special mention for jozo KT and brown tonite, apart from 10 min In the 2nd half they absolutely strolled it!

{Ed007's Note - If we had met Rosenborg in the Play-Off Round we would have been a lot more comfortable. I thought they were a very poor side and no better than most SPFL sides we play who put 10 men behind the ball, have the odd wee burst of possession and chances but never really threaten us. I can't remember a save Gordon had to make tonight and I totally agree with you what we never seemed to hit first gear any time over both ties. It was a lot trickier than I expected but I never doubted that we'd go through, as I said they were a very ordinary side who we struggled to break down.
In the first leg we had Ajer making his debut and tonight we had Bitton at CB and they never really troubled us, we had no striker last week and when LG came on tonight the team's shape look a million times better.}

The fact is everything in midfield seemed to go through Scott Brown, creativity is not his forte, when does Scott Allan come back from his loan deal?

{Ed007's Note - I want to see Rogic in there pulling the strings and pushing forward, it's not Brown's forte who is more suited to winning the ball and keeping possession.}

Personally I thought that was very tense last night, but like someone else said kt, jozo and brown were very good. Sinclair done a lot of good work helping out defending but didn't offer much going forward, maybe because they left him very little space to run into and they knew as we hadn't a recognised forward he was our main threat. I think rogic needs a break once the qualifiers are over as he has had very little rest. Armstrong looked very off the pace last night, I lost count of the amount of hospital balls he gave to team mates. Hayes couldn't seem to control the ball either last night. He needs to improve quickly. I'd agree we definitely need another top centre back, definitely Roberts and probably a centre forward. If Armstrong isn't going to sign get him sold and utilise the fee to bring in a bit more quality.
