    Greg Taylor has done nothing to warrant a guaranteed first team place imo and if that's true that he ignored lennon he deserves a boot up the *.

    From what I’ve seen, I’d rather Greg Taylor than Boli at LB everyday of the week.

    I don't think anyone deserves a "guaranteed first team place" in the squad and I've not seen anyone suggest Taylor should but he definitely deserves a chance.

    Why keep signing players for £2-3 million and then fail to give them a run of games?

    From the fleeting appearances we've seen of Taylor he's barely done anything wrong.

    I don't disagree with any of that. It's his reaction to Lennon, if true, that's wrong.

    If I was Taylor and had to watch some of the performances we’ve seen at LB then my reaction wouldn’t be far off that. He’s hardly been a Tierney when played but he’s not done anything wrong. He should be our first choice regardless.

    He should be our first choice for at least 6 or 7 games to see what he can do. Unless he proves during those games he's not good enough.

    Exactly. Boli was given an extended run in the team and showed he’s nowhere near good enough. Hayes should only be used there as a last resort.

    Ignoring all the latest fuss around Taylor, it's some rebuilding NL has undertaken over the past 10 months

    Out (10)
    Troljen, Burke, Weah, Tierney, Lustig, Izzuiguire, Sinclair, Hendry, Morgan and Kouassi

    In (9)
    Forster, El Mohammed, Frimpong, Taylor, Bolingoli, Jullien, Bauer, Elyounousi and Klimala so far

    Sure I've missed a few here and there?

    For me Lennon/Hammond has refreshed things brilliantly, and highlighted just how poor Rodgers/congerton were with their recruitment and long term planning.

    This is a transitional season for us if we are honest. Effectively a whole new back line and loads of the Invincible’s leaving or dropping out the team, we needed this 18 months to 2 years ago but least we are getting there now. Other than Boli who is hit or miss, and Bauer who is risk free, our business has been good. If, and a huge if, we could add the likes of Benkovic and Wanyama this week then we’d be in a fantastic place.

    Something that needs to be remembered.

    Understandably, it won’t be because of the stakes, but it’s worth keeping in mind. There was someone today saying out left back issues are proof that Lennon/Hammond have been poor in the transfer market, but I don’t believe that to be the case at all. On the balance of activity in the summer window we’ve done brilliantly.

    People have to realise selling Kieran tierney for 25 million we were never gonna replace the guy fully I think with the money they have spent on Taylor was a decent buy why he isn’t first choice I don’t know .....Lenny has his favourites and was playing Hayes our left near the end of last season

    Despite all the grumbles we are 10 points better off than we were this stage last season

    There Lenny that's how you beat sevco and a manager who just came into Scotland .
    He has the best players in Scotland and he must get the tactics spot on and team selection as well when we come up against the zombies later in march .
    Another game being outplayed by the zombies then questions will be getting asked .

    Spot on, give him a decent run and then judge him. Reckon he is well * off watching Hayes.
