Id agree tbh, I thought Ramsay looked a better player than Patterson also. He had so much for such a young player including a lovey right foot. Excellent crosser. Hopefully he can get himself fully fit and back on form although its looking like he would have been better staying at Aberdeen a while.

I've been posting on here a fair while and have absolutely no idea who Sand Dancer is Honestly just stick him on ignore mate your not going to get any sense.

Just shows you, if you run around enough eventually the ball will hit off you and go in. Which proves all the doubters wrong.

On that i was reading that Doak isn't far away from playing and is back in full training. Very unlikely hes not going to have much time in matches for his club before the end of the season. But would be an exciting addition to the squad.

Interesting to read it was a South American thing, I had assumed it came from the ajax Cruyff team. I remember reading Zlatans biography and his frustration with Van Gaal saying "no the 9 doesn't go here or do this, he does something else" So just assumed it originated from Ajax.

Personally I dont refer to the positions by numbers. But if others do I know what they mean so each to their own For some tho its any reason to try and belittle people.

I find it bizarre were again at the point of discussing whether its ok to discuss Scotland players on the Scotland threads.

Yeah definitely theres been more continuity, which is alot to do with the manager and also having better players. But examples given like O'Donnell perfectly illustrate the manager will replace players. The players he brings in to replace them will be judged on their club form. If you look at the squads of the teams you mentioned there will be continuity but also there will be changes as new players emerge and stake their claim. Just blindly selecting the same players because they have played for years would be a dereliction of duty. If a striker appears whos banging in goals and playing well at a good level they will be straight in the squad. If a player in any position is performing well at a good level then they will considered also.

I do also, there's a balance to be drawn which is up to the manager to decide (and us to debate). But to think club form is not at all relevant is blinkered and blatantly incorrect. Also quite boring. How else would new players be brought into the team/squad which he has done. Why is Shankland getting a chance? Club form.
-
Yeah he's went backward for whatever reason, perhaps just not cut out for that level When he first came into the squad he was full of confidence and despite his limitations he was making the most of himself.

Had a wee look at the comments after the game today. Id say that is definitely not the general opinion. The general opinion of qpr fans from my research is they think he's absolutely useless. Not checked these facts but its quite startling reading. "Lyndon Dykes has scored 1 goal in his last 53 away games for #QPR (vs WBA in April 2023)." "Since the start of last season QPR's #9 Lyndon Dykes has scored as many goals away from Loftus Road for QPR as Seny Dieng (1). Dieng is not only a goalkeeper, he also left QPR last summer " Think we need to face the facts that he's just not a very good player.

Ok mate, nobody will play for Scotland unless you say so
-
Im hoping tbh hes constantly assessing his options and decided its best to stick with what he has and what the team knows. Rather than a sense of loyalty to players. Look at how brutally Alex Ferguson was in terms of cutting players out and improving yearly. And this was guys he had playing weekly for years.

You've sussed the forum out fast! Yeah there's a group of people against any football related discussions. Which I would have thought is the point of a football forum. Tbh its a breath of fresh air you and some of the other newer posters. Regarding new strikers. I think the chance for this has past now for the euros. We had the chance to try out some new faces/ideas but instead stuck with what we had. Id say its to late now. Its not worked recently but hopefully it will at the tournament.

Watching the N Ireland game I thought about him. We were crying out for someone like him with the ability to do something different and open up their defence. We were so static, predictable and uncreative. It looks like he's never going to get a chance under Clarke, which is a mistake in my book. He could be an important player for us, but without the chance we will never know for sure. Its a shame as you can tell hes dying to play.
