    Makes a massive difference to this team.

    Even last week vs the Huns he was the only one who really had a clear sniff of goal when he went around McGregor.

    The sooner we can get him and Edouard playing together up top the better.

    Just play the wee man. Who gives a * man what he does. Only * with a bit of urgency that can score

    So much better when he's in..

    Getting him and Rogic fit was key. Griff has badly let us down..

    Yes Griffiths who was so unfit that he couldn’t go to pre season in France yet a week later looked fit against hibs . . . Lennon hung him out to dry for what reason I don’t know ....

    Everytime a result went bad this season people have blamed Griffiths or brown

    All is forgiven Leigh. Please just start the guy. I'd take a half fit Griff over any of our strikers atm.

    1 chance, 1 goal, if he's not first choice striker from now on then we're in serious trouble.

    He is the most natural goalscorer in the league. Does what he is asked to do.

    The amount of times he finds a yard of space is unreal, and he can finish up there with the best.

    For as long as eddy and ajeti are fit he wont play anything other than 15 mins here or there.And with a defence that is a shambles its going to be a big mistake.

    I was of the opinion he had used up all his lives this summer. But, im glad that wasn't the case. If anything good comes of this season, he'll be a huge part of it.

    Some finish

    He's basically a better Ajeti, that's not to slate the latter but I haven't seen too much in him to suggest he's a class above what we already have in Leigh.

    The issue is all our strikers work better in a 3-5-2..

    Just our defence doesn't, at the moment.

    Great goal.

    Eddy is our most talented striker but it's the thumb who is most use to us domestically. He knows the league and the opposition players and what is required to succeed. He is a natural, instinctive finisher and has a far better football-brain than he's given credit for. He absolutely has to start from now on. Not in Europe though, keep him for games that matter. The Europa league can eff right off as far as I'm concerned, nothing but a drain on an already struggling team.

    Great goal from Griffiths today.

    He actually looks like the most motivated player we have at the moment... which no one would have believed when he returned to pre-season out of shape.

    I thought his time was up but he should be first choice based on his recent goals.

    LG: “Whether I’m starting or on the bench I want to contribute to the squad.”


    LG: “I don’t think I need to prove anything. The manager knows what I can do and I try contribute as much as I can. It’s not just about me though, it’s about the squad and trying to get positive results.



    LG: “We are all together. We need to keep working hard and we’ve got another big game on Thursday night we’re looking forward to.”


    LG: “We need to stick together as a group and fight together for the same cause

    LG: “We are only two points away from our total this stage last season and people think we’re in a crisis. We’ll keep plugging away and rectify the results.”


    LG: “People have always got an opinion but the only opinion that matters to me is the coaching staff here. I’m raring to go. I’m training well every day and hopefully I get that start but if I don’t I’ll try and come on and contribute like St Johnstone and Aberdeen.

    LG: “We take each game as it comes. Sunday was a difficult game to take and now we move on to Thursday and try and get back on track then on Sunday try and get in another final.”



    LG: There’s still a long way to go in the season. Trophies don’t get handed out now. Lots of games to be played, we need to keep calm and stay focused and take each game as it comes.”
