I believe Scott Brown has a big part to play this season, not maybe so much on the pitch tho.
We are lacking something at the moment and we need freshened up.
For me 2 places are up for grabs and its left/ wing back and a place in midfield.
Bringing in younger fresher legs in midfield will do this.
We have seen countless times McGregor can fill Browns role which would leave room for Ntcham/ Turnbull and Christie/ MOi and still have Rogic, Soro etc for cover.
It will help revitalise us and improve us, i just don't see how we can improve with Brown in the team.
As for LWB Taylor doesn't cut it for me he is nowhere near standard required.
He made 1 forward pass last night and it got us a penalty, every other time it went back.
If your a right back against him your in for an easy shift, he doesn't want to take you on, he doesn't cross much and doesn't get to the bye line much if ever. We have came up against some poor teams so far and some even part timers and i can't recall Taylor even taking them on so what does that tell you.
Our new wing back has to have pace and be able to deliver a ball.
Ask any striker and he will tell you he wants the ball in first time every time.
I remember a story from McNamara i think it was when Larsson told him just to deliver it and Jackie said well what if your not there?
Larsson replied then that's my fault you done your job.
If 2 places sorted i think we will be fine as there is still no balance yet and IMHO that will be us sorted.
Hope Lenny reads this lol.

Totally agree; but I've said many times before NL will never leave Broony out unless he is unfit to play and although he's irreplaceable as Captain, he slows the play in a very predictable way and we rarely see the best of Cal-Mac, or indeed Ntcham when in the same side.
I don't know what has happened to Taylor since the first home game against Hamilton, where he put in several crosses, creating chances? However, if he keeps cutting back all opponents will nullify him.
If we had a midfield five of say - Forrest, McGregor, Ntcham, Turnbull and Christie; or a permutation of those adding Frimpong, MOI, Bitton, Rogic, Soro and a new LWB would be much more of a threat, with enough variety to switch without too much disruption.

If Brown is dropped the earth will stop spinning on its axis, the mountains will fall into the sea, the oceans will rise and flood the lowlands, the volcanoes will erupt and fill the air with ash, turning night into day, .
It would be madness to drop Brown.

Raymond, agree

Aindoh, you forgot to mention universes colliding and MickeyDs running out of burgers and the Colonel having no breadcrumbs for his chicken.
