    He’s made a lot of doubters look very foolish :84:

    Long may it continue.

    He would not be back if Lennon wasn't at the club the arm round the shoulder from Lennon definitely has helped and not rushing him back too soon

    Said when he came back he could realistically get 15+, reckon he could even get 20.

    Didn’t see the game today as I’m away for a night away with the family.

    Great to hear he scored the 3 today and win POTM.

    Since it’s looking likely we will be selling big french Eddie this summer it’s even better to see he’s scoring goals and coming back into the team . Next season we need Leigh banging therm away week in week out. I agree with one of the previous posts if it wasn’t for NL he may never have been in the team again.

    Scotland with the play offs also should be straight into the team no questions asked.

    Great to have Leigh back and when we wrap up this title will deserve a special mention for the big role he has played since coming back. Especially since a few short months ago he was not being considered for the league cup final when eddy was injured and we played without a recognised striker or an option in the derby game just before new year.

    20 would be a push but 15 would be great achievement. He currently has a league goal every 96 minutes. He has proved so many wrong, I didn't expect to see him at this level. He gets assists to, he has the same amount of league assists as Defoe and Morelos combined. If Clarke doesn't start him then there are questions to be answered

    got himself in to double figures and on to 11 goals, he will easily make 15 which considering the stop start season he had before Christmas and everything he has coped with, that would be brilliant and will set him up nicely for next season to hit the ground running.

    BUT!! the form he is in since the winter break and our goal scoring form overall with the two up top I wouldn't be surprised to see him score 20 - which will be fantastic all things considered for him. He has scored 8 times since the turn of the year now, with another 9 or 10 games to go, I don't see why another 4-9 goals isn't doable for the lad!

    9 goals is doable but a tough ask, 15 would still be his largest tally since 2016/17 so should still be regarded highly. If he gets anywhere above 15 he should be in the spl team of the season

    At this stage I'm just happy and impressed, but I agree that 15 is likely the target even he has set himself.
    But 20 is doable, but if he didn't make that tally, then regardless he has done brilliant so far.

    Will be interesting to see his minutes to goals at the end of the season compared to every other teams second choice striker - even their first choice strikers. I would dare say Édouard and morelos aside, he will have the best ratio out of the rest of the league come the end of the season. And depending on that final tally, even morelos may need to watch his back in the sense of goals to minutes played ratio, as Griffith's improving and Morelos is giving up.

    Really chuffed for oor Thumb, after a right hard time of it he's come back into the team and really hit a good bit of form, long may it continue.

    At the moment he is 4th best minute to goal.
    1. Defoe every 77 mins
    2. Hendry every 93 mins
    3. Eddy every 96 mins
    4.Griff every 98 min
