    As much as I want to us to beat Sevco we shouldn't risk Griffiths. We should beat them anyway and we have far more important games ahead this season.

    The way we've been playing our front 4 are all huge goal scoring threats, Forrest and Sinclair with 3 in 3 in the league, Rogic and Dembele have a good few already in all comps plus Paddy scored for fun end of last season. We don't rely as heavily on Griffiths just now, though of course we would rather he played some part tomorrow.

    And lets face it, if the worst scenario comes to reality and we lose, it will be the highlight of the season for Sevco. Us beating them will not be our highlight. We will walk the league, and play against the best teams in the world, with the potential of a couple of magical nights to remember. I know this isn't a popular opinion but I would rather lose this game and have a fit Griff for the rest of the season, then risk aggrivating his injury and win.

    Whether Leigh plays or not, we have more than enough to win this game quite comfortably. Leigh will not be risked if there is any doubt about his fitness. As BR said, there are goals throughout the team.

    imo that snapchat photo saying his calf was gone is probably real.
    celtic and brendan have played it down and used the previous hamstring injury as a cover up and a way to keep sevco guessing on what our starting lineup is going to be.

    i would be very suprised if leigh was even on the bench 2morrow never mind starting

    all imo

    Could play him in a wheelchair tomorrow. He'd still outmanoeuvre Clint Hill and score a hattrick of headers :50:

    If you want to know the team for tomorrow, PM Mevin. He'll even throw in the substitutes, the minutes they'll be brought on and the final score. :50:

    Thanks for sharing, Mani.

    If he's an injury risk ahead of Barca, I'd leave him out. He'll be itching to play, though.
