Which is why he has been singled out occasionally by Lennon. Lennon is frustrated because he can see his potential and merely wants Jason to make that step up to another level. Jason, however, needs to see it for himself and want it. He, without question, plays well within himself far too often and is, I believe, a fool to himself for doing so. Jason could be a "great' player, if he offered increased drive and desire and improved certain aspects of his game - drifting lacksadaisical-like in and out of games, does nothing for himself or his team-mates.

He dropped him for several weeks and refused to even bring him on as a sub when we were crying out for goals. I think Lennon's man management of the boy has been deplorable.

First name on the team sheet every week . Scoring goals is the name of the game . Hope he runs riot against them on Wednesday.

Glad I agree with Lennon and not you. Good free kick lad was very poor today

Who was better then? Can only give pass marks to Darren McGregor and David Gray also. As I said, imo.

On the contrary, I think Lennon is astute and is trying every trick in the book to get Jason to contribute a lot more besides scoring and to move up another level.
You have to keep in mind that it was Lennon himself who took Jason away to France to convince him that his immediate future lay with Hibs and managed to secure him on a lengthy contract.
He is simply working the boy and trying to reach him psychologically. All due respect to Jason, but he's not the sharpest tool and maybe he really does need to be kept at - eventually the penny might drop. If not, then Jason might just become one of those " if only" players we have all witnessed and heard of.

If we go up a lot of that will be down to Jason Cummings.

Imagine where we'd be if lennon hadn't dropped him for 8 weeks!

He dropped him when he wasn't scoring which is fair enough and he brought in Boyle in who had a good run scoring next few games if I recall.
He's played pretty much a full game in 5 of the 8 draws and 1 of the 2 defeats with half an hour in the other defeat and one of the remaining draws.

For the record - I like Cummings a lot and he has a swagger that good forward players need.
He's a good player and we've been very reliant on his goals but he has a lot of room for improvement and if he is "undroppable" it unfortunately says more about our goalscoring options in the squad rather than Cummings.
