    The length of his absence does feel like a concern, but I hope I'm wrong.

    Not really seen that much of Bayo tbh, I'd give him a good bit more time. It's difficult for him to get a run in the team at the moment. I'd maybe start him against St Mirren.

    Hopefully Griff is back soon though, would be great having them all to pick from.

    Think the club will bring in another forward now in the January window as we can't take the chance with edouard getting a long term injury .

    Do miss the wee man, but defo need to get another forward.

    Bayo is under a project for me, someone who needs a lot of development.

    That's the only thing for me where Rangers have the edge over us, they can feel practically no difference when switching forwards.

    I feel bad for him but we need to do the right thing by ourselves as well....and that's bringing in another top striker in January..

    A loan to buy or something like that again..

    I'd genuinely loan Griff out and see how he does. On his day he is class but even then, he's been third choice for a few year now (albeit up against top class operator's). Has problems away from football that have stunted almost a season of playing time and has recurring calf injuries..

    We need someone who can come in and take the burden off of Eddy. If Eddy was to get injured Thursday then all we have is Bayo to lead the line for a spell. Bayo I like but is never gonna be a striker who can just come in and kill it 1 in 6 game's or so. Needs an extended run somehow..

    Agreed on Bayo. He has not had much in the way of time on the field so he could still come good. I hope he does I just do not feel all that optimistic with him from what I have seen so far. Griffiths we need back fully fit asap especially when you look at the sheer load of fixtures we have once the internationals are done from mid November through to the end of the year.

    Definitely need a striker in January. * knows what's going on with Griffiths, and the more Bayo plays the less he looks Celtic quality.

    We need a striker in January who's good enough that if Edouard does go next summer then we don't have a pure panic and the replacement's already here, if Eddy stays then great we have two top strikers for the season.

    Bayo's fine as 3rd choice but don't think he's good enough to be direct back up to Eddy and I think we're at a stage with Griffiths where he's never going to make it back to the level of someone we can rely on for a full season, which is a shame because he's a great striker to have and the beginning of this season he looked sharp and healthy again.

    Bayo has barely played enough for us..

    In and then out and wee cameos aren't gonna get him up to speed. I've seen enough from him to think he'd be a decent backup. Can hold it up. Stretch the play. Link up. Good in the air..

    The finishing I'm sure will come. He's just rusty because he isn't really playing..

    After the sheep game I'd deffo start Bayo at home to St Mirren next week..

    haven’t seen a photo... was just something I noticed on a report on the boxing. The guy suggested he’d seen him there.

    not bothered if true or not...

    the thing is he seems to be nowhere near the team again after things looking up early season.

    I think we miss his talents right now but could be critical if Edouard was our for any reason.

    Sad news if he is not training with the first team .
    We need the wee guy playing regularly again as his dead ball skills are amazing .
    Get back soon Griffo as we need you .
