    I don't expect anything from him anymore whether he's starting or coming off the bench, we heard off all his old clubs that he starts well then fades and it seems he's living up to that reputation with us now if he's not back to his best by January I think we need to sell.

    2 year's ago he had 1 of the best anthems in football..

    Subbed on last night to barely a cheer..

    Sums up the general feeling for me..

    Never expect him to make anything happen now and am glad when he isn't starting..

    I have to agree here. He hates to do anything other than cutting in. Strikers need supply, and Hayes at least focuses on that.

    Didn't do anything wrong last night. Aye he is continually passing inside when he's receiving it out wide but he can't be expected to beat the full back every single time he has the ball.

    He's keeping possession, the most important thing in European football. Ntcham pings one of his long range efforts in and he's assisted the winner...

    Shouldn't scoring goals in any way be more important? Keeping possession is slow, cowardly and useless when the opposition have 10 men, and we need a goal.

    Scoring goals is the most important thing in football, aye. Which is why despite being * for half last Season he ended up our top goal scorer. Mate.

    He should take full backs on more often, to score goals.

    Away and give your head peace. He has scored more goals from coming inside than anything else.

    Pretty clear to see he’s the new scapegoat with the amount of irrationality I’m seeing about him.

    Pointing out the fact Sinclair has been atrocious for a long time now is not making him a scapegoat.

    He gets criticised the right amount for the wage he's on and how * he's been. Not the only person to get slaughtered in the team though.

    I don't think he's a scapegoat but people are quick to point out his bad performances. The defense are a collective 'scapegoat' as we know we concede almost every single game against half decent sides.

    I think it's pretty evident Sinclair isn't playing at the same level as 2016/17.

    i agree with comment above, for me he doesn't want to be here. New kid and a partner that lives in a diff country, if he isn't putting in the performances then for me he has to go. the trouble is we wont get anywhere near the money we forked out for him.

    Not saying he hasn’t had a spell of poor form, but people are actively making things up to have a go at him. Definitely doesn’t deserve criticism after last night.

    He is a shadow of the player in the first season.

    He has done it at every club he has been to one season wonder.

    I like the guy but I fear his time is up, would rather replace him and recoupe some money on him.

    I agree.

    He's not a scapegoat though.

    Fast becoming one.

    He played well against Rosenborg at home, also got the assist for our equaliser.

    I think he's too predictable, the one time he went down the line he caused more problems than all the times cutting inside.
