Mr Lavine

after his goal on sat he is in an elite town group this season, a striker who has actually scored.....

with this in mind does anyone think he should be now given more playing time ????

If he's willing to put in an effort in training then why not? Aaron being back may motivate him more..

Most definitely should be playing in every game.He's the one player that creates a buzz amongst his teammates,gives them confidence which they needed as the game progressed against Rovers and which seemed to be heading for a boring draw.Can play with both his head and feet and seems to have an understanding with Baker and Francis and this in my humble opinion can lead to GOALS, something that has been missing of late!!

There's no more talented player than Eric Lavine at his best but if he isnt fit then he shouldn't be picked and he wont get fit if he doesnt train properly, that's why he wasn't being considered in the first place. As i said if he sorts that out then give him a chance but you cant pick him if he wont train. Its not fair on the players that do.

agree with Longfordian what about the lads putting in the effort! I don't know i think it will just add to the "sob story"!
