    how many times is he going to be a empty shirt and i said he should be sold in the summer a few weeks back and nothing has changed after the last few weeks and should be on the bench for the next two games to kick him up the * .

    Thought his delivery into the box was poor at times, still nowhere near the player of last season.

    Should've had an assist first half when he set dembele up but became more and more anonymous as the game went on, he's not even chipping in with the goals just now think Roberts has a better chance of taking sinclair's place than forrests when he's back.

    There's a middle ground between starting him every game and selling him in the summer.

    Had a good 10 mins then he was an empty shirt.

    He has done it at nearly every side he played for had a cracking first season then posted missing after that.

    I agree with others if we get a good enough offer I would sell him in the summer.

    The squad needs and overhaul of players it seems he can't be arsed with it for some reason.

    16/17 season: 25 goals and 11 assists
    17/18 season: 17 goals and 15 assists

    Hardly * return. And some folk want him sold.

    * sake some of you are absolutely insane at times.

    Injuries to every single creative players this season, bar Sinclair, who has been practically our only outball at times (Forrest has stepped up big time to help that out). Where every team we come up against, they are putting 3 men on to him, knowing it is the best way to stifle, what is in part, our only creative outlet at times.
    Yet he still has chipped in with 17 goals as a winger and made 15 assists.

    A little bit of * perspective lads.

    Forrest is 16 and 4 in just 2 games less than Sinclair this season. Yet we are all creaming over Forrest this season.

    And for a bit more perspective, Forrest got 8 goals and 13 assists last year.
    Roberts got 11 and 19 last season, we all want to break out transfer record for him. Yet Sinclair on 17 and 15 for this season is a flop and should be sold.

    Kris commons in a season he played pretty much a full season in (14/15) made it as 15 goals and 11 assists. And at that time people wanted him tied down to another 4 year contract and to retire here.

    Aiden mcgeady in his prime here, 9 goals and 21 assists (season 07/08) his best return.
    Got a record transfer fee for him and folk were gutted to see him go.in fact folk wanted him signed here again only 6 months ago.

    If Scott Sinclair is * and still returning us with 17 goals and 15 assists, with ten games still to play, then I'll take a * Scott Sinclair every day of the week.

    Chase yourself with this not interested pish. Starting to hear it about nearly every player and starting to get sick of it. Petty bullshit.

    I've been critical of aspects of his game recently but it's hard to argue with those statistics.

    Wingers are one position where inconsistency is part and parcel.

    The stats are impressive but for the past 3 months or so he's been pish. No denying it and it isn't against the law to criticise him for that. 5 of those goals alone came in August against Linfield and Astana, which is a good while back now, so since then he's nabbed 12, with 1 in his last 10 league games.

    I don't want him punted and anyone who is suggesting that is clearly daft, but he does need to raise his game. No coincidence that BR has dropped him more regularly lately.

    Im not too worried. the whole team has been below par...we can clearly see it , yet they still seem to chug along collecting wins. i guerentee the next game we have thats a week after our previous game is when it will all click for this seasons run in. People talk about the fatigue but ignore the mental fatigue that playing nearly a game every 5 days takes on you, the teams mentally and physically shattered. when you see kt looking spent after 60 minutes in some games then you know the rest will be just as bad, if not worse.

    Teams playing 11 men behind the ball, double marking Sinclair to take him out the game and our entire team having poor form. Yet he’s still got unbelievable stats this season and we are top of the league and on for the treble. Get a grip man.

    “Not interested” is not the reason.

    He is definitely not his usual self, but people are correct in saying that more teams are parking the bus against us. Last season he was willing to take on anyone at any area of the pitch, now it's seems he's programmed to receive the ball in space and instead of going forward he always plays it back to Brown or Ntcham. A player with very little confidence at the moment, we seem to play better when he's not on and giving Tierney all the space to run into. Still a great player on his day and should be allowed to start a couple more games so he can find his form, after all he is our top goal scorer.

    I don’t need to get a grip buddy .
    I am happy we are on course for a second treble but I am confused and disappointed at Sinclair form this season . Yes the stats look good but he is a shadow of the player he was last season , yes teams are doubling up on him but this would allow more room for the attacking players ?
    It is disappointing you cannot raise any criticism of our players without being accused of getting a grip !
