    Ross Stewart averaging a goal every 97 minutes at this level so far - comfortably the best in the league. He's 4 goals behind the top scorer and hasn't even played half of the season.

    From just wanting to stay up I believe we have a squad of 25 who can cut it in this league.

    I was really impressed with Michut as well tonight, thought he kept the ball ticking over nicely. Didn't think he was too happy about being taken off though but that in itself can be a good thing

    Dan Neil's best match for me and MoM. Really stepped up tonight as the main man in midfield

    I think Clarke could do with a small break, he's been performing gradually worse while the team in general is performing gradually better. That's all that's required though he's a class player.

    Fortunately we've got plenty of options for his position and can afford to give him some time off to rest and reset.

    That's the key part. He did an excellent and more restrained job

    The lad's a class act. Hope he shows his commitment by signing a long term contract.

    Precisely why folk saying £10mill for him is tempting is trash.

    The lad isn’t just a goal scorer he’s a footballer and he does everything well.

    I’d not even look up from me phone for £10mill.

    The £10m comes purely from him not signing a new contract. If he's happy to sign then it doubles overnight.

    Skipped between sky and the stream. Stream was better quality but mine kept freezing. Also sky didn’t show any replays so was quickly switching back to the stream as they were showing the replays

    Goals all over the team now. Picking up good wins despite so many players missing. Very good signs

    One thing on the Stewart front. Every bit of info we get is that's he happy here, but wants more money.

    Is it that bad if he accepts a deal here on what ever we are offering, if we then do the impossible and go up, he gets a huge pay rise, if not he's sold in the summer. Best of both worlds for him

    Got on red button first half but couldn’t get it via red button second half. Had to go to sport then football and scroll down all championship games were there. But your right using red button was flaky
