Now, sure as eggs is eggs someone will be posting that Cummings wasn't dropped on Saturday but was carrying a niggle and left out as a precaution.
However, assuming he was dropped when do folks think he will be back as a starter?
Personally I think he needs to be rested until he gets the idea that it is about the team scoring goals and not about his scoring prowess. Saturday shows that we can score without him and it will hopefully make him think.

Cummings??

I read or heard (either here on the radio) that he fell out with Lennon, though this was not substantiated. I also suspect that if this was the case there'd be more than a few threads about it on here. Guessing he was actually injured then?

He was out of form with players eager to start and impress, i.e Keatings. Whos been playing well and doesnt deserved to be dropped for a player out of form.
Havent heard of anything other than that. He needs to work hard to get back into the team.

We have 3 other strikers all of which were involved in at least one of each of our goals on Saturday. It's not the JC show and if players are scoring I'm happy for them to be in the team.

When Keatings went off I thought it would be natural that JC came on however with Boyle taking his place it will surely act as a reminder that JC isn't exactly flavour of the month and will need to work to get his place back.

Some people have the most ridiculous opinion about Jason's attitude based on absolutely no facts.
I genuinely think they think they know him based on how he looks and speaks to media.

Tam McManus said he had heard that Cummings had put on a couple of pounds over the international weekend. Which Lennon was not happy about.

Hibs never had a break so to speak and were still training and playing st the weekends. Even if his diet was atrocious for a week there would be very little weight gain, never mind noticeable.
He may of been a bit sluggish but I seriously doubt it.
I'm sure McManus has contacts etc but I find it very hard to believe that this is true.
Cummings he bulked up considerably since coming on the scene, he is a muscular boy with very little fat on him.

It's actually refreshing to see someone like Cummings having to fight to secure a start. This can only be healthy.
It was also good to see Holt, Shinnie, Graham and Keatings making it hard for Lennon to drop them. Keep scoring boys and maybe we can feel a lot easier about over-relying on Cummings for our goals. As for Cummings himself, I like to think that he will return sharper, hungrier and with an additional dimension to his game - such as offering far more when he is not on the ball.Last edited by Hi Heid Yin; 24-10-2016 at 09:14 PM.

Mu guess would be that NL wants players who are going to give more in terms of effort when not on the ball and he does have to know that this is a team game and not all about JC. If you don't perform you won't play, which is a good message for the rest. I like JC and don't expect him to miss too many games but complacency could be his down fall at Hibs, I think NL is managing him.

McManus got this one spot on.
NL was of the opinion that when JC came back from international breaks he wasn't as sharp as before he went away.

Didn't take much inside info for McManus to get that right as Lennon must have said it in every newspaper interview he did three or four weeks ago after Cummings came back. However he didn't indicate whether he thought that was Cummings' fault or a lack in the training at the international camp.As Cummings didn't go to the last one don't understand why it comes up now.

I competed in natural bodybuilding a few years ago, I was 5% BF on stage and after 4 days of eating sugary foods and pizza etc I put on 6-8lbs, it's easily done.

With Keatings injured, Boyle performing well when he came on and Graham getting a goal on saturday it'll be interesting to see who plays up front against St Mirren. I'm assuming Holt will start.
