    I said it before tonight mate, tonight just made my case stronger..

    I've been impressed by his start and he's really stood up but part of.me feels he was shining because our seniors were diabolical over all at the start.of the season..

    Still rate him, just think some are getting ahead of themselves..

    He's been utter * in the last few games. Hopefully he can get back to how he was in the first games of the season.

    Got off to a decent start earlier in the season, but has gone backwards by quite a bit recently.

    Him and Commons shouldn't play in the same team.

    I think Ambrose playing behind him does him no favours whatsoever. I think he would get back to his best with Lustig or Matthews back in the team. He has struggled in recent weeks.

    He's stopped making runs into the box like he was earlier this season, I think it's from babysitting Ambrose and his unpredictable passing.

    I don't think Ambrose knows what he is going to do when he gets the ball :smiley-laughing002:

    Ambrose is a real worry for me, and he seems to be getting worse.

    Wasn't his worst tonight but that's not saying much ( see that acrobatic kick he put out for a corner :56:)
    Can't wait till lustig is flying up and down the wing with Wakaso and the other 2 on the left if they can produce tonight showing, we'll be looking good..

    Any time he gets the ball, I expect him to lose it. Lustig or Matthews can't come back quick enough.

    Been off the boil all of this month really.

    Hasn't scored since Maribor away but what can you expect from a 21 year old.

    Will probably see Wakaso in for him for the Dinamo Zagreb game.

    He's already played 14 games this season, a couple games rest wouldn't do any harm.

    How old was Guidetti when he banged in 20 in 23 appearances for Feyonord? Being 21 is no excuse for playing gash.

    Guidetti played that many games over a whole season in Holland.

    McGregor has played they 14 games in little over 2 months.

    A rest would probably do him a lot of good. He seems to be in a cycle of continuously shooting wildly or dribbling into trouble. Almost like a repeat performance every game just now.

    He shouldn't be starting. Started off the season well but he was just scoring goals, not really offering much else.

    He's like Commons, if he isn't scoring then he adds very little to the team. Wish Forrest would hurry up and get back. Could be doing with him on the right and Wakaso on the left.

    I'd like to see him dropped to the bench or given the first 60 for a few games. We shouldn't burn him out.

    He's only young and he's been given a lot of responsibility in a shakey team.

    Support the boy and stop putting him down.

    Gone off the boil. His early performances/goals earned him his position but he isn't offering much at the minute. Time to take him out the team, give him a wee break and then start to introduce him again. Personally I think he's better suited to the Commons role but think he'll be hard pushed to get in ahead of him. Not wanting to be too critical but also find him to be a bit too greedy, passing is an afterthought, which was fine when he was scoring but now he looks like he's taking the wrong option or slowing the play down.

    Would alternate him and Forrest, if Forrest ever gets fit. We need his pace in Europe, so I'd keep him playing for now.

    We've over played him, but this is due to all our wide players being injured at one time or another..

    Thing is he's not a winger and is much better attacking from the middle, so when Wakaso and Forrest get fit he should alternate with Commons under the current system! :shamrock:

    Shouldn't be playing wide. That's an issue right away.
