    Surely Dylan is due a start? Was amazed he didnt get one tonight but did well when he came on.
    DM changed the tempo of the match when he came on.

    For me, if fit he must start.

    His passing was immense tonight and the amount of space he seems to create is mad. I've quite liked Slivka but he was poor tonight.

    Love watching the laddie play fitba when he's in that kind of mood. Top priority is to keep him fit , if it means letting him get 30 - 45 mins a game then so be it.

    Imagine how good he could be if he got a full season playing regularly week in week out.

    Tonight could be a pivotal moment in our season if it makes us realise just how good and important Mcgeouch is. Absolutely outstanding when he came on and had to start every week if fit.

    Baffles me how Dylan is not one of the first names on the team sheet. Controls the games tempo fantastically and is a real asset

    How he's not in the team I do not know an absolute joy to watch

    He has to start on Saturday. I'm not sure if there's an issue with him and Lennon but if there is it has to be put to one side for the good of the team.

    He changed the whole dynamic of the game tonight and when he came on we played all our football with a quicker tempo in their half. He has the ability to take the ball in tight spaces and creates space from nothing. More importantly he knows when to keep it simple and ensure we keep the ball rather than trying to force something that isn't on and losing us possession. Hopefully that's a lesson he can teach Messrs McGinn and Swanson.

    It mystifies me that some still can't seem to see or acknowledge just how good a fit McGeough is, the best footballer at the club.

    I thought he was the touch of class we have been needing tonight. Excellent and just what we needed. Should find a system that he fits in so he can start

    Yep, we look a much better team when Dylan plays. He seems to steady us. Brilliant wee footballer.

    He passed it to a Hibs player nearly every time he had it tonight. Sounds simple but the rest of the midfield didn't do that too often.

    I only got in at 2-2 so whatever happened for the first half hour I missed.

    From then on I thought Slivka was our best player until he went off, and after that McGeouch was head and shoulders above everyone else our best player.

    Sorting out the balance of the midfield is another of Lennon's challenges (although not as pressing as that defence) but I'd be playing McGinn with Slivka and McGeouch.

    And Mcgeouch would be the first name down, every single week (if fit).


    I thought he was MOTM tonight. Turned a game that we were struggling to impose ourselves on into one that we were very much on the front foot and dominating.

    Superb night's work from him.

    Motm

    Have to agree he was MOTM tonight, must start on Saturday if we want three points.

    Kenny miller on twitter tonight stated Dylan was told in summer he could leave if he wanted. Surprised at this story. Thought he was one we'd be wanting to keep

    .

    Why then does Lennon still choose to ignore him? when ever he's played, he's so far ahead of any other player on the pitch. A fit Dylan = good tempo, direct football on the deck and clever intelligent football.

    Really hope not. Top player who was MotM tonight despite the short time he played.

    Has to start. When fit, he is outstanding. Play him Lennon.

    Someone mentioned it and was shot down but you can understand why he was shot down, it just seemed so unlikely at the time.

    Millar also does say he was told he could leave but then there was a "rethink" and he stayed on. Got to start most weeks for us if fit.

    He also said that thankfully there had been a rethink.

    Dylan is a fantastic player, but he seemed at times last season to be one match in one match out - I imagine thats frustrating for the coaches.

    A great player on the treatment table is no use.

    However, its unlikely that anyone would want to get rid of him if he can perform regularly like tonight.

    I think Lennon is trying to protect him given his injury problems.

  24. #53
    Correct. An unfit player is not a handy one but for me Dylan is a fantastic player one we should be looking to extend his contract provided his fitness is decent.

    He is a joy to watch - such a graceful footballer. A do have plenty options with midfield, with a lot of quality to choose from, but Dylan is arguably the best of the lot.

    It would have been a horrendous decision to get rid of Dylan in the summer. Mcgeouch is our best midfielder and after tonight has to start on Saturday.

  27. #56
    I'll reiterate what I said at the start of this thread - Dylan McGeouch is one of the best midfielders in the country, outside of Celtic. His range of passing and composure on the ball is outstanding.

    He was the best player on the pitch by a mile, during the time that he was on tonight.

    If he's anywhere near full fitness then he has to start every game, the guy's different class.

    Dylan was a breath of fresh air in a stuff room tonight.

    And his contract is running down

    I know the injuries are an issue but he is more than worth it for me. Best player at the club when he is fit

    Head and shoulders above everyone on that pitch when he came on...and that icludes the much vaunted SJM..he was excellent and changed the game in our favour. For me he has got to start Sat
