Honestly, it really depends on the feel you want for your campaign, and what 
the players want the feel to be. Short of you describing everything in 
tiresome detail (for us and for you, typing-wise :) ), I don't think we can 
answer every problem they might be having.

I guess the one question I would ask is:  does the players' dissatisfaction 
basically stem from the fact that they have a Goliath in their group, and 
the rest of the PCs can't keep up?  That seems to be the case from what you 
described, but I would hate to presume.

If it is, then disallow the Goliath and as Theo says, let them have a 
Scrapper instead.

Otherwise the problem may lie elsewhere.

Hope that helps.
