I don’t know if anyone agrees but I think we are stinking up front the past two games.
Zak and Morrison look like strangers and have no connection.
Both of them need benched and have even an unfit Kane and Todd up there instead.

Morrison is a winger and as Livi fans said when he signed will be decent but doesnt try hard enough after a while and is injured..
Kane can only last 20 mins and it’s ok in a Scottish cup against lower opposition but will he perform against top championship sides?

When you say Todd do you mean Tod? I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Tod has barely done anything for about 2-3 months now.
Rudden has gone off the boil after promising start, his first touch is ropey but last week the service he got was very poor. What we could have done with is the Queen’s Park striker who just went to the saints. We’re crying out for pace to help us get up the park. You can also see how far ahead Barney was of who we currently have.
It’s early days but I hope there’s more to Morrisons game than just workrate.
I have faith we’ll have better options up there next season, players who can stay fit and have quality, they didn’t try to get others in but it never happened. Also Tod will be better next season for having had this seasons experience.

I don`t think they got much service today and they looked decent at Perth. Rudden will be out for a while now anyway. Morrison I thought has been pretty good and will get better, his movement and first touch is good, even if his final pass/cross/shot hasn`t been there so far. He took a great touch to take the ball out of the air and play in Kane for the shot that hit the bar twice.
Can we get enough minutes from Kane for the rest of the season? Thomas looked useful against Hibs, Cooper did well to setup the second - maybe he can return to his early season form.

Andy Tod remember was just an option to fill in as a striker when we were very short of fit strikers but did very well initially on the scoring front but i wouuld suggest that is not his best position. Still in yesterdays match i would say that he should have earned us a penalty and he also won a tackle out on the ruight wing and sent Kearney away who crossed to Kane for the second goal. He hasnt played a full season injury free so he may be feeling it a bit and maybe that was why he was given a rest yesterday although it didnt work out that way.I also think his running style (just like his fathers) tends to make people think he is knackered even at start of match but it is just the way he moves. So far this season he has done really well for the team in most games in my opinion.

Fans seem to forget that Andrew Tod is still learning the game but NL has decided he is good enough to do that whilst being part of the first-team squad. He won`t learn much sitting on the bench. He might have got a bit of a rest yesterday but circumstances changed that. With Rudden likely to be out long-term he`s likely to be heavily involved for the rest of the season.

As much as I hope Zak makes a full recovery, there is little doubt in my head he’s been a major disappointment since coming back.
Headless chicken comes to mind and has zero connection with Morrison.
Kane showed how it should be done being a center forward. Not just that he scored at least twice but his movement and communication.

Andy Tod won a penalty that wasn`t given. He took two defenders out of the way for Kane`s first goal and his skill and tenacity on the wing took two Kelty players out of play and his pass sent Cooper clear to create the second goal.
I don`t think he had a great game, but he always makes a contribution.

Anyone can put in a shift. I don’t know what service he is actually looking for either.
Watch Kane closely next time he plays.
He gets close to his striking partner and talks to him while making the proper runs into space.
He doesn’t wait for things to happen.

I’ve been saying this for weeks if not months.
Kane is our best striker but can’t last games.
Rudden is out for a few weeks now I’d imagine if not longer.
Thomas is a young lad who isn’t getting a game.
Morrison is a winger.
Tod hasn’t produced for months, also he isn’t a striker.
We really need to be looking at another striker in during this loan window or we are going to be in big trouble.

No we can’t but my one and only gripe about NL is his choice of signings as Striker (Stewart excepted) is not great! Rudden is poor, which is why he lasts a maximum of 2 years at a club but is invariably loaned out during that! And Thomas looks like this years Yeboah! The rest of his signings for Mid/Defence look good choices

If Chris Kane has only legs for 45 ( as we all suspect) ... I would get him on for the 1st 45 - not the 2nd (when we seem to start badly and pull it round in the 2nd half). A goal or two 1st half will give the team the confidence to come out the traps in the 2nd 45

Against Partick and how physical their defence is, I would definitely put him on first. They may even pick up a booking or two this time around. I would still love to get one over on them after their nonsense in the last game at East End.

He would love to play more. Just not able to train which does not mesh with NL`s work ethic. There has been considerable friction around this. Add to this the quite extraordinary wage he is on and you can see the problems that might arise.
Also the reason there hasn`t been a marquee signing up front.

Kane is the best striker we have and one of the best in the league. It`s a real shame as he`s only 31 but he`s rarely fit and I imagine this will end his time with us.
I`d like to understand more about what his injury is. It`s unusual that when he does play there is very little sign of it, but afterwards he can be out for weeks. I wonder if there is something he`s missing recovery wise.

Rudden McLeod Tod are not a main striker but better when have someone like Kane in there. When kane doesn’t play the team has too many similar players to top. Can see when we are attacking in and around the box plenty times we have nobody in the box we have players wanting to create the chance or make the pass rather than having that goal scoring instinct to be in there. We’ve lacked a goal scorer for a while Kane aside.

Lennon, meanwhile, is still keen to add another goalkeeper to provide competition for Billy Terrell, who signed a new deal with the club last week, and Mehmet.
Mason Munn was recalled by parent club, Rangers, from his loan earlier this month, and subsequently joined League Two side, Forfar Athletic.
The Pars can bring in players on loan from Scottish Premiership clubs until the end of the month, but Lennon doesn`t envisage him looking to do so for other areas of the team, despite losing forward, Zak Rudden, to a dislocated shoulder.
"I`m not really considering that," he said.
"Nobody`s come back to me on that. I wouldn`t have thought so.
“The squad`s quite big at the minute, even though now we`ve had a few injuries, so, I don`t know is the answer. I`ve not really given it much thought.
"It`s hard to know, at this stage of the season, who`d be available and ready to come in and play."
