    I thought that at one stage but I am having doubts these days. I think he might lack the mentality to really step up.

    He's turned in to a hider and bottle job far too often for my liking this year..

    Staggering the regression in at least 4 FIRST team player's from last season to this..

    Assuming Johansen is one of the 4 you mention?

    His fall in form can be attributed to his back problems and other injuries suffered as a result.

    Stick him in the central position in the bank of three behind the striker. His form will soon pick up if he's played in that position.

    He is vying for a place in midfield. The guy is talented and can spray passes. He maybe feels he is stepping on toes at the mo. He will be our captain. Guy needs a more assured position and not on the wings.

    Somebody please stop him wasting corners/free kicks. Better dropping him all together but that's not looking likely.

    We need to go out and buy a natural winger in January, or at the very least someone who is more suited to being out on that left side of a 3 in behind.

    He's wasted out there and doesn't bring a whole lot to the game in terms of creativity.

    Today was probably the most blatent example of why he shouldn't be played out on the wing . Either play him in the middle or not at all.

    Pish again.

    Allan must be wondering how the * he can't get a start over Armstrong.

    Why does Ronny always play him though ? He has offered so little for three months and is always first name on the teamsheet.

    It's a mystery.

    He contributes nothing. It'd be interesting to see how many goals and assists he has this season. Must be about 2 in each department.

    GMS

    He needs a more central role if he's going to shine. Possibly DM. He should be dropped from the wing. Allan could have a go on the wing. Lot of competition for our midfield 3. He's easily behind Allan, Commons, Forrest, Rogic. He'll find it tough to start ahead of Bitton, Brown, Johansen or McGregor though.

    I assume Ronny will be rotating a bit for the 3 competitions so he'll be playing somewhere.

    GMS is another player who has lost form this season. I'm hoping the fight for places will encourage better performances.

    Who would you rather in the starting 11,Armstrong or Henderson? Henderson for me.

    I'm not sure, Henderson impressed when he first appeared but I have no idea how he's doing at Hibs. It's quite a tough choice. Henderson does have more moments of inspiration than Armstronng. That touch for Guidetti's goal against Inter was sublime.
