Sh*tty weather, sh*tty surface which resulted in nervous victory, which I'll always take as history always remembers the victor's.

Can I throw this in Ed, if not obviously don't post. Do you think taking into account our obvious defensive weaknesses which have need to be sorted for a few seasons that Lennon is the one to get us to 10.

{Ed007's Note - Don't we have the best defence & defensive record in Scotland?}

I think on their day (and I include Simunovic) , we have three very good central defenders - including two exceptional footballers in Jullien and Ajer, who are only 24, 25 and 21 respectively.
Simunovic's consistency possibly suffers due to his injury problems and it would probably be wise to seek a fitter replacement?
I know they have all had occasional lapses in concentration, which have cost us goals, but over the piece Ajer and Jullien especially have combined to win us many-a-game, score goals and earn points.
If El Hamed wasn't so brittle, he may have made us more solid?

Cheers Ed. Yeah the stat's don't lie it's just that I personally still think it's a problem area and when the opposition get to attack the defence I'm never confident although this opinion does contradict the stat'.

{Ed007's Note - We need to get the RB position sorted, Frimpong is suspect defensively but he'll learn and Elhamed is looking like another Rogic/Simunovic and Ajer is never a RB.}

I think frimpong would be better played as a winger.

Frimpong I think will develop into a great player, well hopefully but his stature for a defender is suspect.

I do think he's a natural winger with great defensive qualities but I don't think he's an out and out defender.

However, history will no doubt prove wrong as I'm useless at judging player's having never really played the game after school.

{Ed007's Note - If Elhamed can get fit and stay fit - if not he needs replaced in the summer - then if we play 4 at the back he should be the starting RB but if we go 3 at the back Frimpong would (could be turned into be a good wing-back) but that then takes Forrest out the team who to be fair is never a wing-back.
Frimpong's not long turned 19 and he has clearly surpassed any expectations of him this season but there's no reason why if it's handled properly he would spit the dummy out if he found himself on the bench or not involved.}
