Firm agree on this lad

[Rumble de Thump]

In December, Griffiths said: “It's about working hard in training and trying to make an impact when you can, if you can come off the bench. Hopefully I have done that and given the manager a wee bit of a headache going forward.

“He said after the game that I need to get fitter. Well that green stuff, the pitch, I need to be on that to get match fit. I am not unfit. I am fit. But just not match fit and you can tell. Obviously I have not had a run of games.

“Hopefully I can get a wee run now and get my fitness right back up. There is a difference between being fit and match fit and you need to play games to get match fit and the more minutes I get the fitter I will be."

Same position as Scott Allan found himself in, a good pre season under his belt with his head down Sparky would be an unbelievable signing for us IMO

Gary OConnor is a better comparison when he came back. Overweight, mental health issues, disappointing season, Got fit, lost his weight and had a great 6 months back to the point we were getting called a one man team.

Then got fat again, injured, trouble with the police, totally missing in the cup final and generally an absolute tit. He scored some goals in his second spell but was a shadow of the player he was. Could hardly move.

After the first 6 months, maybe. The first six months? He was tremendous.

I've no idea how realistic the chances of getting Leigh are but I do think this would be the opportunity for Jack Ross to show his mettle handling players who are not your standard 'good lads'.
The team we usually put out are hard workers and seem decent lads but equally there's a spark missing at times, particularly in the bigger matches, so a well managed Griffiths and Scott Allan would change that and have us capable of maybe causing an upset in Euro games and getting closer to the Old Firm.
From our club point of view obviously would be great and entertaining but also JR has to think about his image, solid safe pair of hands but no edge to his teams will mean he's destined for smaller club management but turn Hibs into dynamic and capable of big results and his career could head upwards quite rapidly.
He speaks safely and has a good calm aura so club owners will like him, just needs to get the team performance right.
Leigh and Scott are perfect in that they both probably want to play for us, some other similar players might prove more difficult to get here.

He was excellent at the start of his second spell. How anyone can say he could hardly move I have no idea. He was in great shape and great form. Then the wheels came off.

It was more like the first 3 months. He scored 9 of his 15 goals in 3 months. Was a bit ***** after that.
