    Some poor comments in here, TC is such a fickle place man. He was massive for us in the first part of the season and absolutely ran himself into the ground for the cause

    Thought it was a mistake in the last game not bringing him on in 60 minutes when it was a triple substitution.

    For me he always plays a decent game at least, so much work he does goes unnoticed. Integral to the first part of the season, without efforts from players like him we wouldn't have kept pace

    Played well and he's a good option. Should be a back up next season but he'll still contribute with goals and assists.

    But it really is mad how one-footed he is. Can't remember seeing a player so averse to using his weaker foot.

    Cant argue with the highlighted but he is a better footballer and contributer than he gets credit for. If he leaves we lose at least 20-30 goals a season, someone may come in and be better but the boy has contributed more than he gets credit for

    20-30 goals a season? You on the wind up.

    20-30 goals/assists, does that make sense?

    There’s potential to be a great player there but needs to stay fit and keep working hard.

    Still very young at 22.

    I prefer him to Hatate currently.

    Different players granted. I also think he will give you more goals and assists on a regular basis than Rogic.

    Folk go on about Rogic but his numbers aren't as good as they should be. Would like another pacier option brought in to challenge all of them mind you.

    I think Hatate with a bit of rest and a pre-season under his belt will be different class. Agree with you in regards Rogic. He's a moments player. But he has too many games where he's off it.

    McGregor, Hatate and O'Riley will be the first choice 3 next season I reckon. Hoping we sign a proper CDM though with a bit of physicality.

    He needs to put on muscle over the summer.

    He's a twig. That can play!

    Is that rogic that was nominated for player of the year, has more goals/assists this season than any other central midfielder Rogic? (even taking averages into consideration should someone wish to try) The pish some people talk on here on him takes some beating have to say.

    Oh and he barely if ever stays aways from set pieces unlike the likes of turnbull and oriley, not that ourbset pieces are really any good for the majority.

    He doesn't have more goals and assists than Turnbull for starters. Who has been out half the season and playing a position further back.

    Try again.

    Hes also not a centre midfielder. He's a no 10. He should be hitting double figures quite easily in both goals and assists every year but doesn't.

    I think we need more from him.

    When was the last time rogic took a free kick or corner?

    Turnbull and Oriley both take them if on the park. Or jota.

    Not sure where you're coming from here.

    Turnbull has more goals/assists than Rogic this season.

    It's not talking pish to say his numbers should be better. He's scored 24 goals in the last 5 seasons. Turnbull has scored 19 in the last two seasons - and he's been out injured for months.

    Hatate and O'Riley both have 4 goals, only 2 fewer than Rogic.

    Nobody is denying his ability but his numbers aren't great by any means.
