    There was a few passes today that were over hit and I couldn't help thinking he would have got them spot on.

    I feel as if there is something wrong behind the scene too. How can you sub on Armstrong when his form has been poor yet Allan doesn't make the bench?

    If Ronny is still the manager next season Allan should be sold for his own good. I'd see a few offers coming in for him as \o/ already mentioned, he's got a rare ability of making a great pass but also trying to be inventive too.

    He's 24 so he's not exactly a 'youngster' look at Lukaku, Emre Can, Ross Barkley etc all younger then him and on top of there game

    I agree with that, I'll never totally write a player off based on their age. Pretty sure Neil Lennon was still at Crewe when he was 24/25.

    I do think at that age though, players need to be playing some sort of first team football, in fact I think they need to be by the age of 20. It's where they will learn the most as players.

    Obviously not showing enough in training, but he's shown great quality on the pitch though didn't much in his start against Hamilton but really needs a run of games. Commons, Armstrong and Forrest keeping Allan, Christie and Roberts out the starting 11 and bench is daft.

    He needs to buckle down and get to work. Just like Stokes, its up to him. If he wants to be in the team, he's in the team.

    I dare say he was not a signing the manager wanted/sought after.

    Got all the hallmarks of a lawwell signing to stick it to sevco.

    Definitely must be considering his future here at this rate. That's twice he's been left out of the bench and pushed down to the Under 20s.

    Hate to say it, but it would've been a better career move for him had he went to the huns where he would've gotten regular football in the Championship and Premier League next season.

    He would never have signed here had he knew what was going to happen this season.

    Being linked again with a move to leeds,maybe not getting game time because something might come of this rumour.

    If there is any truth in leeds runour im not sure what the * ronny was thinking about signing him.

    Im not sure the board would sign a player just to give the huns a * you.....its not like we have the money to * about with.

    I think he has more to his game than Tom Rogic to be honest.

    He's always looked good when he's came on. I don't understand this lack of involvement all of a sudden.

    It's like Ronny's just playing a big game of Snakes & Ladders with our team.

    Lets not forget we are at the trouble end of a season and if we hadn't screwed up and let the sheep shaggers back into the race time and time again i think ronny would take more risks and give the new guys much more game time.
    I think next season we will see the new three nearly every game.

    He has improved griff and got forrest fit and brought TK into the team so on this im going to trust him.

    Why TK instead of KT all the time?

    I hope someone's had a word in his ear and told him to bide his time. With any luck he'll get a fair crack of the whip under a new manager in 3 months time.

    I think the fact that we can almost all agree he was bought outwith the manager's say so.
    Im sure he will say "I have final word" as always, but im sure that deal, like a few, was pushed through by lawwell ans deila will have of course said yes to an extra player.

    However. The fact he isnt a player deila sought after, and perhaps doesnt rate (Roberts could be similar? Maybe even Christie) means he is unlikely to utilise him if he wasnt a player he ever wanted /doesnt see in his plans.
