    Not at all, more just curious if I've not picked up he is from exotic lands, or just a bad interpretation of the posts on my part today.


    Again, absolutely not meaning badness in this either way.

    Would love him to start, and bag a couple of goals. Not going to weigh in with criticisms of any parties. It's just sad to see a guy who offered us so much just seemingly disappearing out of things.

    Nothing would make me happier than see him not only brought back in from the cold but to play well and start getting regular game time.

    Genuinely think he’s an asset we’re misusing and definitely think there’s a lot more to it than Lenny just saying we have other options.

    There's got to be mate. There's no way Morgan is a better option as a striker than Sinclair.

    Morgan over Sinclair is/was and probably always will be a downgrade.

    I think it's as simple as we triggered his extension to sell. Thought he'd leave when we got a couple of offers from England and he didn't want to go..

    It was ridiculously stupid on Lawwell's part and backfired spectacularly..

    Now we've got an unhappy player who knows we wanted him out and he's now practically sitting about collecting 30 bags for another year..

    He’s from Donegal and they speak gibberish there.

    I think this is true, but I don't understand why we won't utilise him a bit more than we have.

    Morgan should be sold and Sinclair brought back in to at least finish up to winter break before selling him.
    Bring back Ewan Henderson from Ross County. after winter break.
    He's played 6 matches for Ross County so and will be match fit.
    Wasnt allowed to play against us.
    5 of them away from home and won 1, 3 draws and 2 losses.

    I would agree with that. It does seem strange that Morgan has got game time ahead of Sinclair given Sinclair's goalsscoring record.

    I thought he had a massive appearance fee so that's why he's not getting games?

    That was just speculation (myself included). Very difficult to know if it’s true or not.

    Buzzing about him maybe starting this. He’s been an unbelievable servant which I know gets thrown about a lot.

    He’s looking in unreal shape too. Size of him in those photos at the children’s hospital.

    If that’s the case it’s counterproductive to then have that asset in the stand, particularly when he’s better than what you’re actually playing.

    He featured briefly in pre-season and looked sharp, scored a classy back heel if I remember correctly.

    His goal scoring and assist records speak for themselves. Loves cutting in and bending shots into the far corner.

    I get the impression that even if he plays a blinder tonight , Lennon’s mind is already made up and he won’t feature much if he’s here any longer.

    In the first 2 seasons, yes. But last season, most of his goals came from in close to goal.
    Just reckon this ship has sailed. Best for all if he goes in Jan.
    Maybe Lennon feels that there is no point playing him, better to try develop Morgan???

    Form comes and goes, mind Kris Commons would have a * season then score ridiculous goals the next?

    I think Lennon just doesn’t like him. He didn’t have his best season last year, but he’s still a quality player.

    I don’t even think he was that bad last year, just became a bit of a scapegoat for some fans, probably cause he’s set high expectations in the first few seasons.

    I don't think it has anything to do with Lennon not fancying him. He has been told not to play him I think. Only reason his contract was extended was to take a wee chunk of change in a transfer fee. Someone from England came in and he didn't want to go. He has been exiled for it probably at Lawwel's behest. It could also be Lennon dislikes him personally but I don't think that's the case and if it was I doubt he'd let it get in the way of using him for his ability.
