    Yeah that's what I was meaning, I'm glad hes still being left on over others when he would be the 'easy' option to sub :celt_2:

    Brown only looks confident shooting with his left peg :smiley-laughing002:

    Kayal should be refrained from shooting at all times

    Great for the wee man tonight. Thought he played quite well especially second half and although the keeper had a howler I'm glad he got on the score sheet.

    Think he is brilliant. Will easily bang in double figures this season in the league.

    He made the goal obviously but it was a deflection to be fair.

    On FM (I know but they are accurate with player heights give me some slack:smiley-laughing002:) it has him down as being 5ft 5, but everywhere else is saying closer to 6ft which I cannot believe for a second.

    Doing well and Ronny seems to have a lot of faith in him. Did notice tonight and in previous games that he is a bit shy on the defensive side of the game. When he was on the left Izzy was left with 2 men more often than not and Callum was slow to get back. I think teams have quickly picked up on this weakness on the flanks and we need to do something about it.

    Said it a few times, he'll never be a great footballer but if you give him games he'll score plenty from midfield and give it his all which is all you can ask of him.

    I like the effort from him although not sure he should be starting against Maribor. He looked OK tonight after they went down to ten men. I would agree he also makes us defensively weak. Ronny seems to rate him highly so hope he keeps improving.

    I disagree, hes got the quality in him to be a great footballer he just needs to be a bit more expressive and confident which will come with games. There is times he'll run past two or three players of show great bits of skill to get by people he just needs to do this more often and he will turn into a cracking little player.

    Think he shows his inexperience at times, like trying to pass it to Stokes on the break when he should know Stokes doesn't have the pace to break away at beat the defender to the ball. Also his half hearted tackling when we really needed him to win the ball in midfield.

    I'm not at all worried about these things though, they will come to him in time and his pro's far outweigh his cons on the park and I love his confidence, never afraid to take a dig at goal.

    i would love to see him start upfront, his link up play is very good, has pace, skill & can score goals. Would definitely be worth a shout IMO.

    The boy seems to get plenty of luck - two deflected goals against KR and Legia and a *-up from the St. Johnstone keeper. That's not a criticism though; he's obviously a great young player. He's not afraid to take people on or have a shot at goal, and he showed his goalscoring ability at Notts County. Since Ronny wants to play direct, attacking football McGregor could be a key player under him.

    Another fantastic performance from him, so lively and creative. Think he was taken off to save him for Maribor.
