    I thought he may be good backup under Brendan, but it's clear early on that he won't..

    We need rid of anyone with his attitude and weak mentality..

    It simply won't cut it here, and especially under Brendan..

    Don't know why he didn't go out on loan. A run of 20 games won't do him any harm.

    Just based on that game though, no one was running about before calling him a shitebag, because he isn't one.

    Sinclair is class we all know that, different type of players though and personalities. He'll graft like * and GMS did track back but similar to Forrest never really puts in a big tackle.

    Well he's faced upto Swanson who is skillful then a left back overlapping, if he jumps in towards him then the left back is slotted in just as dangerous, he needs help to press them, he was not at fault for that goal at all. Happens quickly as well, not as if he's standing on the ball for ages.

    I called him at shitebag for one of the most dismal ghostly performances I've seen in some time..

    That was last year's semi final..

    I wanted him gone that day. I gave him a chance, but he's got to go..

    How you can single one player out from that semi-final I've no idea.

    He wasn't the only one who shat the bed.....but a player who actively stood on the touchline hiding for the entirety of his time on....was an absolute disgrace..

    I still struggle to this day to forget it whenever he's mentioned..

    Played well and worked hard, certainly no shitebag.

    Thought he played solid, and was hard on the ball. Just doesn't match up to the other guys on the pitch in terms of what he brings.

    Shouldnt be getting games, Sevco class player at best. Was gutted when he came on. Too lightweight, just gets brushed aside all the time even beats 2 and 3 men then gets nudged off it offers barely anything.

    Not an awful player don't think he's good enough for us though tbh. Think he'd do well at the likes of Aberdeen or Hearts.

    really unlucky with one cross today, absolutely done the right back and had a 3 on 2, looked like he slipped as he crossed it.

    I dont see how anyone can be at all critical of his performance today, linked up nicely at times and had a decent run and effort saved, if forrest is out for a while and paddys not ready yet hed definitely ve my first choice to continue out right and deserves to imo

    He's on his last legs for me but he done pretty well today, fitted in nicely and to be honest had a pretty hard time of it with two men on him every time he got the ball. He's a confidence player, when he's confident he's good, would like to see him play the full 90 next Sunday against St Mirren to build on that.

    Shame he hasn't became as good as I thought he'd become. He isn't a bad player but the level we want to go to I think we need to sell him

    We were talking about him at the game yesterday, how many times he ends up on his *. I don't know if he will ever be a regular first team squad player, he is as a few people have said easily brushed off the ball and doesn't seem to contribute a great deal apart from the odd run and shot when he manages to stay upright.
