    If we want to see Broony Prolong his career and I pretty sure we all do Lennon needs to start rotating him or least taking him off earlier in games we are cruising especially at home. Im not sure on the stats but I'd be fairly confident hed be in the top 3 for minutes played this season.

    Calf strain because he took a terrible touch and then went quite high in the resulting challenge..

    Been excellent but that was really poor from him and now means we'll likely be without him for a number of vital matches in the coming week's..

    Gives us a chance to drop Christie back to the 8 position where I feel he's best. Either McGregor or Soro in the 6 now..

    It was an absolute shocker of a challenge too, the guy was lucky not to get a bad injury off it.

    If he's strained his calf I'd be amazed if he's fit for next week. Has to be Ntcham back one next to mcgregor and rogic in the hole.

    Please not bitton..

    What's the word on Soro? Are we any closer to seeing him make the bench even?

    Thought he was dreadful in that second half yesterday, looked about 40 but wasn't the only one

    He needs to be managed better if he wants to remain in the first 11. He's nearly 35 and plays the most minutes still, it's absurd.. Lenny needs to take control here because I'm sure Brown will want to play every second still

    Even Cristiano Ronaldo who's a freak of nature gets rested more than Brown, think he needs to put pride aside and accept that he is ageing, we've got multiple midfielders including a brand new exciting signing that can play in his position.

    That’s because Ronaldo is a diva.


    Canny handle it every game.

    Got some minutes in the development squad this week.

    Hope he's on the bench v Killie

    Ronaldo still plays international football, Broony gets several weeks off a season because he doesn’t.

    Lenny needs to use more of his squad keeps playing 13 players every week and rogic and others don't seem to get a game and it will catch up with those players and tiredness could creep in .

    Broony also isn't Ronaldo though, a freak specimen. Him calling quits on Scotland was the best decision he's ever made but I do think he needs to get rested more. We play an unreal amount of games every year and he pretty much plays every game and 90 mins throughout, that's every European qualifier, every European game, every League game and all the domestic competitions..

    I mean what's the point in having the squad we have if we barely use it

    Please no..

    I'd rather move Ajer there and Bitton centre half..

    Ajer showed quick feet yesterday getting out of trouble and has the pace over a distance. It's just getting isolated 1 on 1 defensively and in the air where he's poor..

    Don't think he'd be caught out as bad in the 6 but I could be wrong..

    We don’t barely use the squad, we’ve played an enormous amount of players this season.

    Broony’s too important for us. We absolutely fell apart as soon as he was off the pitch last night. Think as soon as Lenny watched us without him against Dunfermline earlier this season he realised he’s far too important for us.

    He does just fine with the amount of games he plays. His standards hasn’t dropped.

    Let's hope Soro can come in and show that he can take his place. Looked good in the YT clips I saw

    I know how important he is for us and despite his age plays a staggering amount of games. But we must begin to look at playing without him as he is defo in the twilight of his career. Or do we just keep goin til he calls it a day and look at the squad then? What is the plan/strategy?
    Arguably he is irreplaceable but we need someone similar. And I don’t think it can be bought easily.
    Seeing how we performed after he went off on Thursday gives me the fear. Yes, we could’ve played just as poorly with him on the park but we all know what a difference he makes.
    Huge shoes to fill.

    After that photo, Bronny jumps up and fist pumps, Tierney now out for 3 mounts with knackered shoulder.
