I would blame Pedro for the dropping of the 2 points. We can't moan about the free kick, these things happen. There second goal came from the left which when Lee Wallace went off was very exposed with Declan John and Windass having the responsibility, their player had an age to pick his pass for a tap in with no defenders in the left back position. I would have put Lee Hodson or Wilson on. On the back of his interviews and performance Declan J strikes me ask a bit cocky and is underestimating the challenge ahead of him, he shrugged off the old firm like it was a normal game and played against Thistle like he was going to pick the ball up dribble up the wing no probs against mediocre Scottish players, how wrong he was. Anyway winge over, Pedros mistake. Patrick Roberts is going to have a field day down our left if Declan J and Windass are holding the fort, will be interesting to see our line up next weekend.

I agree with a few things you have said and I'm the biggest Miller admirer going but why Miller there?

I thought Miller should be benched however he has the experience needed for an old firm fixture, he has been dropping deeper which we will need to do in his game. Our flanks will be tested so we need to be stronger in these areas. I hope tav and candias can cope on the right and hodson and poss miller or dorrans on the right. If we can stem there supply and compete in the middle with Brown v Jack then this will be an interesting match although I fear Armstrong and the Aussie on late runs. Should we park the bus, go toe to toe, only Pedro knows how good we are. I wouldn't be surprised if he went 3 3 4. what's your thoughts on LG tying a celic scarf on the posts, good banter, enticing a riot, we would do the same?

Good post TJBB, but too early to form judgement on Declan although I thought he would have done better last night. Had not played though for 3 week. More concerned about Bruno last night, his bravery and leadership. Pedro need to sort the central defence out. Think would play Wilson alongside Bruno on Tues. on the positive side we are scoring goals.

Tav was worse than anyone number of times candeias had to drop in because he kept getting caught way up the park was a disgrace. Guy needs to realise he's a defender first priority is defending if he can go forward that's great but he can't get caught up the park constantly

Remember years ago when PLG aim charge and we were struggling in central defence (think we had a Swedish or Spanish centre half) Walter Smith advised that we needed a physical centre half who could win headers and clear their lines. Watching last night this again looks to be the case. Pedro and Bruno need to sort out over next couple of days.
