    Simms does some stuff well but tends to drift in and out of games, looks a cart horse at times and at others a big lad with a deft touch who can play unpredictably well enough to create space for himself and score quality goals.

    Who would you play at left wingback if you took off Clarke or would you switch to a back 4?

    One of them for me where he could have done better but it was a nasty shot to deal with. Wouldn't blame him much personally. Didn't help their lad was in like lightning, if Patterson has a chance to claim it nobody says anything about it being bad keeping.

    Personally I feel Patto should have done better, but I'm not going to go overboard about it. Every professional goalkeeper should have been stopping the initial shot mind, not sure how you're concluding that he did well.

    He is ok. But there is no intelligence to our press. Pritch is the master whem we lose it, Ba just runs about. Not a criticism he is a bairn and hasnt had chance to learn. This is a winnable game, but only with better savvy in their half. Ba looks to raw for that.

    Sorry mate, but I have to disagree. Pritchard does exactly what Ba has done first half.

    Ba deserves to stay on imo

    He's definitely got a laid back vibe, even seems that way when he's playing well to be honest. I'm not sure if it's attitude or work ethic but I want him to be a bit nastier too.

    From the slow Mo I just watched it dipped late and he did well to stop it

    Fair enough. Think our press in their half has been way off. Stewart and Pritch are the intelligent lads, who set traps. Ba looks good with the ball, lost without it. Opinions eh.

    I agree that he was at fault there, but you've been waiting for quite a while for him to make a mistake, haven't you :emoticon-0136-giggl

    I’m gigging at an 18th birthday party (full of young girls. Very entertaining until I remember they’re my Son’s age!!)

    only seen our goal as was playing when they scored. Trying to delay my second spot until the game is finished. HA’Way the lads

    Nah he has been playing well. But that was really poor. We move on though.

    Awful from Simms there. Neil should have played one of the others in, in hindsight.
