Sinclair conundrum

Sinclair conundrum

SoccerHQ said:
Been great last few weeks. Probably a bit of it was getting his fitness up as he hadn't played much for Celtic for six months before joining. Then lockdown came six weeks later.

Finally trust between him and AN. In many other games he wouldn't have been on the pitch to score the second as he'd have been subbed.

Barky going off instead shows there's finally big faith in him from the manager.

Did not think of this.

Some of his goals have been class for us.
 
He's the best finisher we've had in some time. DJ has been a good finisher for us but Sinclair just looks confident every time in front of goal off both feet.

Again, having a balanced, competent pair of full backs allows our wide players like Sinclair to push on a bit more and get a bit more central, whilst the full backs offer the width.
 
Sinclair is hitting a purple patch. Can only see him getting better. Not only is the finishing class, the timing of the goals seem game changing-

I think most would agree Sinclair made a slow start at the club. Was this down to fitness or the defensive requirements of the manager We'll never know but he's certainly starting to come good. Keep it up Scott.

Well according to you it was because all the other players didn't like the fact he was getting paid more than them

You insinuated it was because he had unsettled the squad and this was causing issues behind the scenes.

That clearly is not true, he is a key part of the squad and respected for the quality match winning player he is.

Maybe you could just hold your hands up Peter and admit that was horseshit because you had an agenda against him from day one?
 
Sinclair does what no-one else can.

Close ball control, getting out of tight spots, evading 3 defenders all at the same time, it's quality to watch.

Barky has the pace but not the close skill. Potts has the directness but not the close skill. Sinclair is just oozing class at the moment. He's finally beginning to look like that 'different gravy loan-type player' that we all thought we were getting. Except he's ours.
 
Watch his goal last night, he’s the one that brings it down and lays it off from Rudd’s goal kick, and instead of just slowly jogging up the pitch, he turns and runs full pelt towards the goal giving Riis the perfect outlet

Not on your Nelly. I merely passed on information regarding Scott's contract having thrown a spanner in the works of ongoing contract negotiations. As far as I'm aware this is still the case hence the situation we find ourselves in as we approach the transfer window. Everything i have seen would suggest Scott is a very popular member of the squad and if he continues to perform consistently even more so amongst the supporters.

Or was it down to his salary causing unrest as you stated continuously?
 
Other than maybe Armstrong and Toney, is there a better player in the league than him when he's on song? Rovers fans fuming with Armstrong last night though - think he'll be off in January

More fiction.

You were banging on about his salary causing issues in the squad every time he had an indifferent game.

Lucas Joao and Emi Buendia. David Brooks and Tyrese Campbell too

Lucas Joao scored something like 28 goals in 130 games for Wednesday. He's hit a purple patch. Definitely not better than Sinclair

Buendia and Brooks yes, until January, when Leeds come for them. Campbell, no.

Have you played Rugby, your memory is at best selective. First you suggest my post as fiction and in the very next sentence confirm what I said in the post. Very bizarre indeed.
