    I would like to see him be given a chance or brought on as a sub for a few games ( when in a position to do so ) we could have a diamond if we chisel away the rough.. send him out on loan see what he is made of, done a world of good to ajer, mc gregor and Christie - great learning ground.

    he has been involved around the first team, just lack of reserve games and development matches.

    I'd like to see him get a loan. We have midfielders that will leave in the summer and him getting a run of 20 games will help him for next year.

    These young promising guys are not getting a chance because of the bloated squad and I'm not sure there not better players, we brought in 2 left full backs when we had this guy already did we need to spend 6m on them two ?

    From what I have seen I think he is more than good enough to get more chances.

    Needs a loan move though as it’s clear he won’t get a chance under Lennon. A move to a club like Dundee Utd or St Mirren could be a good fit. Would definitely rather he stayed in Scotland and was playing every week.

    He is just been wasted otherwise. We should be looking at getting him and a few other youngsters loaned out in January.

    Something needs to happen with him. Lots of promise and not even sure if he's made the bench recently.

    Game time is what he needs.

    Total waste of time signing him, at this point.

    His immediate future hinges on Saturday’s result. If we get beat, the league is done and we may start the fire sale in January.

    Can see him staying and getting game time if that happens.

    I think if we start Saturday with the same line up as today, and win, then it needs to signal the end of brown for sure.
    His time should be spent on the bench and learning to be s coach.

    If that gets sorted, we can then start to look at connell (and Henderson) as being the two midfielders that rotate in for soro, McGregor and Christie. With rogic as well.

    If not, connell needs to be sent out on loan in january to a prem club and to get 10-15 games under him to have him ready for summer.

    Otherwise, really what is the point in the lad being here any longer.

    Get this lad loaned out immediately ffs, we've stagnated his career hugely since he joined, he should have been sent out on loan in the Summer & has now wasted 6 months where he could have been playing every week, Hibs, Aberdeen, Motherwell, either of those three will be good for his development, send him out to whatever one he has the best chance of starting every week.

    Like Soro and Turnbull a few weeks ago.

    I am sure that Lennon will give him a run-out when the chips are down again.

    A guy that could be huge next season during the rebuild. Hopefully gets his chance.

    * be used as an example by our competitors when competing for a promising young player in the future. Disgraceful how he’s been treated.

    No good youngster will come to us when they see that there is no future. Welsh was only given a shot because Duffy was soooooooo bad but even then it took months of Duffy being bad.
