    Would rather build him up giving him even only half an hour at a time.
    We can not go into the playoffs with no striker.

    We beat them fairly comfortably last season with no recognised striker. Not sure if I would start Griff, but I would give him some game time for sure.

    What he said. Take off Griff second half if we're comfortable, along with Rogic and Jozo.

    4-0 Celtic. Hearts seem all over the place at the moment.

    Any chance of them having a new gaffer in by the weekend?

    Fair point. Do you think we are incapable of beating this Hearts team without Griff though? I think we should be more than capable.

    Looks like that wee hun * walker won't be playing, which is good considering he's their only good player, 3-0 us.

    Can't see it. Jon Daly has been given the gig as interim manager, done the pressers n that for the game.

    Play Sinclair through the middle like we did in the game at tynecastle where he tore them a new one.

    Bring Griffiths on for the last half hour.

    Think we should give Griff the first hour, hopefully he can bag a goal or two then get him off. He needs playing time to get his fitness up before the next qualifier.

    Would do the same with Bitton the swap for Ajer or vice versa.

    Play Forrest up top, play Sinclair, *, play Craig Gordon up front if need be. Griffiths should start on the bench and only come on if needed.

    We need the bhoy fit for the play off, no risks.

    I think a striker needs to start this weekend.

    I know we beat Hearts last season without a recognized striker, but we had Roberts in the game and he was immense.

    We need to pick up on Saturday where we left off last season and to do that we need to play a striker - give Ciftci or Aithcinson the game if Griffiths needs protected.
