Mulligan looks like he’ll be a great bit of business.

Would have been the same against Ajax first team.Quote:

SDG should be enquiring who we could get on loan from them.
Keeps us in it for the return leg at Easter Road.
Ekpiteta has been pretty brutal, his passing and awareness is non existent.
Far too safe on the ball for me. He’s going to need to show more balls (in a footballing sense) to make an impression in the team. I thought similar against Rangers. I think he’s actually got plenty ability but he’ll need to do more when he gets an opportunity.Quote:

Decent run out for the boys! At least we won the second half 😬
Only seen the 2nd half TBF.Quote:

Really liking the look of Sallinger. Seems very composed and a few cracking stops. Mulligan also made such a difference when he came on.
Much better going forward in the second half. Driven by Mulligan, Miller and Nicky C. Hoillet and Bowie holding it up well. Impressed by Jiminez
Thought the same. I think we should look to loan him or move him on if we can.Quote:

Disappointing first half, ajax do have some really good players though.
Mulligan made a good difference in the second half, boy has so much energy and drive, Hoilett's goal was different class.
A few more games until Midtjylland to get minutes in the legs.
Not many teams will take 3 goals off this top Dutch side.

3 away goals huge. Apparently Cruyff will be missing for return leg
What you basing that on? O'hara was solid last seasonQuote:

Overall a good workout and decent recovery of a disastrous Ist Half
We moved on
He was ok but i think we could do better. He doesn't fill me with confidence.Quote:

I think has ended up being a worthwhile exercise and there’s positives to take away from it.
Certainly took more from that than we would have playing some dross and winning 5-0.
That Ajax side in that legendary strip is one of my first real football memories.Quote:

Definitely helps highlight where we still need to add - Triantis (or a similar player) and another physical striker - but obviously the Club are aware of this already.
Can't recall him doing much wrong. In fact, you used to not hear his said name much during a game - often a good thing for a defender. I think he's better than a lot of folk give him credit forQuote:
