    Get what you mean but KT is one of the best players to come through our development side in decades. Getting close to that would be unlikely. Granted they two are pish

    Not good enough. Simple as that. Offers very little. Maybe he's low in confidence but to persist with him right now is just plain poor managment.

    He’d no be too bad if he could actually play football.

    That’s for * sure. Maybe if they had put in a bit of effort, and a chunk of that £25million fee, we could have ended up with someone who could at least do a job.

    There’s no world in which Taylor could be described as pacey. Bitton would probably keep up with him.

    Again, didn't see him play any worse than the rest last night, he seems to be an easy target. Elhamed gave the ball away consistently yet seems to get off pretty lightly.

    Because everyone knows he's capable of playing for us.

    I like him but don't think he's shown that this season.

    This is it.

    We're asking him to do a role that he doesn't have the attributes or skill-set to excel in. Similar to Ely or Forrest when they are swapped in.

    He's a LB, to be played in a back 4 where he has the simple remit of blocking cross balls and moving the ball on to our more creative players.

    He doesn't have the engine to get up and down the line, being there in defence and attack. He doesn't have the explosive pace or trickery to go by a man on the line. It's patently obvious.

    Lennon didn't fancy Boli long before his Spain shenanigans and would've also known that Hayes wasn't coming back in June long before we did.

    If we were intent on playing the 3-5-2 that was ragdolling teams at the end of last season (and there's no reason why we wouldn't be) then it's inexcusable that finding a LWB with the required engine and attacking ability wasn't earmarked as a priority signing in the summer. It's now 3 months after the players returned to Lennoxtown for pre-season and we still don't have one in. It's nowhere near good enough.

    Its the one position where I can definitively say that the huns option is comfortably better than ours.

    That quite frankly says it all. Need better

    Coming in and out for a game hasn't helped him. Far better than he's shown at times.

    I’ve seen a few people mention frimpong can play left back, so would it be an option to play him as LWB with Forrest on the other side? He’s rapid and can beat a man, only concern would be his left foot, never really seen him cross with his left leg but if it’s even half decent I would gladly see him slot in.

    We seem to have too many players way off form as we know he can perform a lot better .

    Frimpong is fast and agile and better dribbler than Jamsie so it'll be easier for him to come onto his right foot. Plus Forrest left foot is pish. Frimpong would be a baller down that side. He's played there for city games before - granted that was development but still can play

    I thought the play between him and Calmac was brilliant. He may not be th greatest but that is assist no 3 from him this season

    Had a decent game overall. Still think we need better but he gets a lot of unnecessary flak.
