Was really happy with McAuley yesterday. Looked to be organising things and reads the game very well. Shame he’s not many miles left in him and his lack of pace could perhaps become an issue.
Replace Lafferty, Middleton, Halliday with Alfie, Kent and Borna and I think that’s about our best XI for me.
Middleton needs to learn to come inside once in a while and trust his right side or else it becomes too predictable. I think for now he’s better as an impact player from the bench.

I think it was hard for Middleton yeaterday, as Halliday was not in support enough. So he was getting doubled up on every time he received the ball.

Middleton should get game time for his set plays alone. Not saying he should start every game, but his crossing from set plays has been outstanding this season.

No arguments there Brian. His delivery is outstanding I just think he needs to be less one dimensional. Having said that I’d like to see how he got on with barisic at LB.

Noticed most of us were right in getting others to take corners instead of Tav. What a difference in recent games that has made eh.

I'd like to see Middleton and gredza play alternative matches while Kent is out then use Middleton from bench as I don't believe in playing Young guys every match especially with 2/ 3 games per week, end up burnt out!
If he has a few games where he has a hard shift with not much joy against some experienced fullbacks it can ruin his confidence.
