    As a person who has depression, I am sad that Griffiths doesn't get to play much.

    If eddy was 100% fit today i think griff would have been on the bench,but as eddy was below fitness and griff is also not yet match fit i feel he got bumped because they wanted access to eddy if they needed him.

    must eb sick to not have even made the bench today, instead an unfit elyounissi and a makeshift winger gets to play as striker. I'll honestly be shocked if he's not putting in a transfer request in january, we're in desperate need of a striker and refuse to play one, * even Sinclair would have been a better option than Elyounissi and Morgan.

    Griffiths can’t seem to get himself fit and stay fit for any length of time. Been like that for years.

    Has nobody to blame but himself in that regard.

    Lennon's had the last four games to give Griffiths the opportunity to get some fitness back but his first sub everytime has been Johnstone, what's Griffith suppsoed to do in that situation? it was shown against Hamilton and again tonight, defenders are not scared of Morgan, he literally has no impact up front on his own, we're basically playing with 10 men. Morgan would do a far better job on the wing where he's suppsoed to be, you keep Elyounissi on the bench, move Morgan there and start Griffiths and we would have had a much easier time today.

    I'm absolutely fuking sick of this situation with LG, just how long does it take for the guy to get fit ?

    We need him badly but it looks like he doesn't put the effort in.

    Lennon needs to addres this, at this rate we need 2 strikers not 1.

    There’s obviously more to it than Lennon just refusing to play Griffiths for the sakw of it.

    Maybe he’s not putting in the work to merit game time? Could be anything. The point is we’ve been a striker down for far too long now because Griffiths simply can’t be trusted to be available for matches.

    It's been clear for a while that he's virtually done here.

    Ffs... Love all the experts in here

    If Lennon isn't choosing him, but still giving him game time, it's obviously because he's either not fit enough or not showing enough in training.

    Lennon did not need to bring him back to the first team at all and he wouldn't have, if he had a problem with him.

    Give him time... He's been out for * ages!

    Away in July if not January.

    Needs to get his career back on track and sadly he's gonna have to take a step down to get regular game time.

    Shame as on form he's undoubtedly 2nd best striker in Scotland for me.

    You want Morgan up top as the only other option if Griffith's can't pull the finger out !

    If that's the case and he's not pulling his weight then he needs another club.

    I'm interested in Celtic not LG .

    IF THAT IS THE CASE.

    I really want Leigh to come back playing. Odsonne will be gone at some point- I like having at least one player in every area of the pitch who fights for the club and wishes to stay long term- offering some stability in roster options. Leigh showed that during his best times.
