    Still, only turned 21 a few months back. To be expected from a guy playing lone striker at that age.

    He needs a partner looked absolutely phenomenal with Dembele at the beginning of the season, don't think he's consistent enough as lone striker although he's done well in that position in a number of games this season. Don't agree that he should be played as a wide player for me he's definitely a striker just not the same type as a Hooper or Dembele.

    He actually looked dangerous the couple of times the ball wasn’t aimed at his head.

    His one-two with Rogic was literally the only time I can actually remember us breaking them down with a bit of play. McGregor nearly scored from a break of the ball but everything else seemed like a cross or a shot from far out.

    Grim...

    I'm no even joking but I was embarrassed we only got through the middle that one time considering they had Findlay, Broadfoot and Scott Boyd out and * me the last two are shockingly * :56:

    Alex Bruce comes in barely playing any football at 34 and is a diddy partnered with a centre mid back there, yet it was them cutting through us time and again with arguably our first choice pairing just now..

    Our lack of movement and creativity is there for all too see. Side to side. Rigid as *. No player's taking risks. Backs to goal. Long ball's. Aimless crosses..

    Pitifully poor day that..

    He's not a lone striker.

    That’s why we are probably looking to bring in a 4th striker for next season. Lennon will change us to 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 if he gets the gig!

    Agreed, we bought him last summer.

    I agree with that, but surely he should still be improving in the role and not getting worse?

    The first bit is debatable. I mean it probably has, but his movement seems to have got worse. He is statuesque at times. I think overall he looks less comfortable as a lone striker now than previously.

    He definitely has the talent to be a top player, that is unquestionable, but I am sceptical about his attitude.

    He has so much potential but would benefit having someone playing up top with him.

    You could see this when Moussa was at the club and Eddy was playing off him working the channels.

    The Thumb will be back soon plus we have Bayo but he is injured. If Lennon gets the job full time I can see him bringing someone else in as well.

    I hope he stays for years to come. He's a real class act when he's on it.
