I thought his positioning / reading of the game was dubious at times, saw him having to slide in too often for last ditch blocks. A true quality player will read / intercept the pass & stay on their feet. Obviously still young and learning the game / new position but still a lot of work to be done on his game yet before he's ready for the first team on a regular basis. |

I agree. Think another year on loan would be better for him than playing back up here |

I didn't see anything to get excited about in the game against Lyon, over all I thought he looked very shaky. But saying that, I suppose it is not the game to make any real judgement on him, playing in a makeshift team beside a pretend Centre half and a thrown together defence. Still got a long way to go I think. |

Hard to judge him on a friendly while playing alongside Bitton. |

The Bhoy is still very young but by all accounts he had a very good loan spell at Kilmarnock so we should be positive that he's got what it takes. Already at this stage he's stood out in the SPL for another club. If he keep developing he'll be a great player. |

You forgetting this was his first appearance of pre-season? He would have been off the pace, maybe this is why he was being caught out, not quick/ sharp enough yet? Let's give him some game time to prove himself and then a better judgement can be made.... |

You think BR might do with Ajer as he is doing with Benyu? 6 months or so with us and how the team plays to see if he can fit in/is ready. Benyu was about to go on loan but BR changed his mind to the 6 months. Edit - cos I said Brendan and not BR and it just didn't sound right. Edited by jackbhoy77, 18 Jul 2017, 01:09 PM.

Thought he done well last night. Wasn't perfect but showed enough to convince me he could be a player for us. Seems more assured than Erik does at the moment. Play him more in the SPFL. |

My only sticking point is he didn't seem to be communicating with players well - few times he went for the same ball as another player. Don't know if that's due to nerves or inexperience. Would still like us to get another CB though. |

Thought he did fine actually. I'd be tempted to keep him and actually use him this season. |

A couple of times Ajer went for a ball where a Celtic player was already in that space to claim it - not just with Broony. You think the Captain of Celtic, an experienced midfielder and all-round gobby git, is the one not communicating with his two young, (relatively) inexperienced CHs? |

Brown did that about 6 or 7 times. I get he was trying to lead by example but he was getting in the way of the defenders and stretching for the ball when the centre back had easy headers. Ajer talks alot on the park which is good. He is a completely different breed to any player produced in Scotland in a long time. If we keep him for 3/4 years he counts as a home grown player too

Did Fine overall, but went for a few balls that Brown and Jozo already had covered, which caused a bit of panic. Would not start him if Eric S is available next week. |

He's a more than capable CB in the SPFL. I think playing him in Europe is probably a little bit beyond him just now. If he can get around 10 starts across this season, as well as a handful of sub appearances, I think he'll come on leaps and bounds and we can then start thinking about him as a potential starting 11 player. |

I thought that with Ajer behind Brown, he should have made the call for the ball. Overall thought Ajer did fine though. Better game than Brown had. |
