Dylan McGeough

[Pretty Boy]

What's the script with him? Is he carrying a knock again or does NL just not fancy him?

He was absolutely superb at Ibrox, a genuinely top class midfield performance. He seems to have been one of the fall guys for the Hamilton debacle and hasn't had a look in since. If he's fit then I really don't get it tbh. His ball retention and ability to dictate the pace of a game was exactly what we were missing today.

Really hope to see him back in the side asap.

Was doing a lot of stretching again after he came on. If fit I'd play him from the start.

[Bob Box Fish]

He's our best midfielder without a doubt.

The problem is who to leave out.

In most of the "team for Saturday" threads I leave out Bartley, yet when I go to the game he's our best player.

McGinn is our best player, Bartley is fantastic at what he does and never has a bad game, it is a mystery how a player as good as Slivka can't be found a place and McGeouch always makes us look a better team. We need width so Boyle and Barker must play, you can't really consider dropping Stokes as he's playing well and scoring goals whilst Murray hasn't done anything to merit being dropped either.

I think Lennon may have over-reacted to the Accies game. There's no doubt that we were poor, but we've suffered for the absences of Stevenson and McGeouch. McGregor is a big miss too.

[Sir David Gray]

Dylan McGeouch is arguably our best player, I genuinely rate him as one of the best midfielders in Scotland, outside of Celtic.

If he's fit then he has to be one of the first names on the team sheet as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry don't agree with you, McGeouch is the best player we have in midfield when he's stripped we very rarely lose .
McGinn is a class act but needs to step his game up and show what a top player he is

I'd drop Boyle for McGeouch and play 4-3-3 with Barker and Stokes either side of Murray.

[J-C]

Dylan is our best technical midfielder with superb vision, if fit which he is at the moment he has to start the game, he allows McGinn the freedom to play his natural game and his tempo makes the team tick.

[pacorosssco]

Dylan is class we always look better with him in team. Who knows how he is being managed regarding fitness injuries but i feel lennon is planning future without him.

I would drop Barker for McGeouch. Opinions eh?!

No he's not. McGinn is a far better all round player.

And very similar - it's just a case of which of them starts and who then comes off the bench.

Lennon out, Albanian Hibs in!

[Baader]

If fit I'd have McGeough starting every week. Not sure the balance of this team is there yet.

[GreenOnions]

I think there is a kind of consensus here though - and I think Neil Lennon will have identified that already. The thread is suggesting we bench one of Boyle/Barker and bring in McGeouch. FWIW - I agree with that.

On yesterday's performance - I feel it would be Boyle who would be dropped. However, I think maybe when he's not played as an out-and-out winger Boyle is more effective. He's also shown over time an impressive improvement so, on balance, I'd bench Barker for now and use him as a sub later in the game.

Personally - I'd also start Slivka in place of big Marv who never lets us down but would be required more away from home.

[fife hfc]

Before yesterday I felt Bartley has to be a starter to allow others to play. He didn't have a bad game with him and McGinn up against three central midfielders but I think Slivka could play that role and be better at building the play. This would allow a place for Mcgeouch alongside Mcginn with Stokes playing in behind Murray and Boyle as I feel Stones drops deep and leaves Murray isolated upfront.

I like Bartley when we have a back four, as he covers the centre halves which allows them to cover if a full back is caught higher up the pitch. We don't need him if we have a back three however.

Both perfectly valid. I would not play them together. Better to have McGeogh in the middle. Whichever one starts can be replaced with the other. Not because I think they are not playing well, just because we need McGeogh in the middle.

The trouble is Lennon doesn't know what his best team is. He needs to decide on a system of play, one which hopefully accommodates Dylan. Then stick with it - a settled team well bring results.

[Heisenberg]

Surely Dylan is due a start? Was amazed he didnt get one tonight but did well when he came on.

He was absolutely outstanding - totally changed the game.

His decision making is brilliant, he only gave the ball away once.

Bartley is excellent at what he does but unfortunately we don't always need that in some of these games, and it means one of McGeough, McGinn or Slivka miss out. Personally I'd have those three (if fit) starting the next few games.

Once again he swung the game in our favour when he came on. His direct, incisive passing makes such a difference to our attacking play. He has to start on saturday after that performance.

Our best midfielder imo

I personally don't think Slivka has done anything to note since ibrox. Definitely a player there though and will be vital over the season. Would have Dylan, Bartley, Mcginn playing Saturday

Have to say Dylan was absolutely outstanding when he came on, can't honestly believe he has been on the bench the past few games. Best passer at the club
