A few people seem to have been bagging Najjarine, Aussie journeyman etc but I think that's harsh. He had 2 great shots on goal, the second of which hit the bar, a nice little scoop pass to LBS to set him free, and was involved in a lot of our best moments. I'd take him rather than Piper in the attacking third. 
Both were excellent second half and had a big hand in grabbing a point.

Agreed, it is not a "either / or" situation.  Najjarine has better footballing skills (precision, tactical awareness) while nobody can beat Piper on sheer "grunt" and effort.    Najjarine can shoot from a distance, but can be muscled off (nowhere near as much as Ishige though), while Piper is excellent in the goalmouth and is hard to be pushed off the ball easily.  Both provide different qualities to the team.
I look forward to see more of Mileusnic next week, too.  I could not see enough from his short appearance late in the game, but he made no obvious errors either.
