    One player i am always willing to give a chance. His goal yesterday just shows what he is capable of, not that i thought he would get that chance playing on the right!

    But like Terry has said, he is not consistent enough, although he has been played too deep too often, something we all see he isnt tough enough for at times. Did come out on top of a few 50/50s though!

    I thought he and Harkes had their best game together in midfield

    Also he, Appere, Clark, and McMullen all tried to keep on their feet despite heavy tackles which is a real strength

    All round great team effort

    If you’d seen him at Alloa you would have said he should never get another game - he was that bad. Agreed when he’s on it he adds a lot to the team but when he’s not playing well he tends to hide away somewhat and just doesn’t fancy it. Agreed was good yesterday and will have a part to play this season undoubtedly but in terms of where we hope to be next season he won’t be joining us for that particular journey I’m sorry to say.

    I am very loathe to say which players will be with us next season and which won't because some players do read fan sites and if a player is jettisoned before the season is even halfway through it could affect them. I'm sure some posters will disagree with that but it's just my opinion.

    As to Stanton I'm not claiming he's Billy Baggio just saying that if you play him in an advanced position and get him running at defences around the 25-18 yard lines he's a much better player than when he's often been played in a more defensive role.
