Craig McCulloch Burley Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Surely it’s time to look at other options at centre back - but is there anything better out there? Other than Hanley, Berra and Martin who else is out there? All three have proven to be positionally unaware,capable of mistakes and lacking under pressure. Surely we should be looking to the future/other options if we want to qualify for a major championships. People go on about Hanley being young but he’s shown zero improvement in the last 3 or 4 years and can’t get a start for a championship team.

Milnzo Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Maybe change the thread title to *other options*. Can hardly think of a Scottish CH in the SPFL let alone any that would improve the national side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Should be looking at playing players who'll be regulars in the next qualifying campaign. So get the over 30s to f**k. That leaves Hanley and Kingsley. After that you've got the likes of Souttar. Be aswell seeing how they react and cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red23 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 As mentioned in a post i just put up. There is Caulker but no idea if he's performing any good or would even want to join up with such a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red23 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 oh and sadly we need Phil Bardsley back at RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hanley has proved time and time again he's just not good enough. The idea that we should be picking him because he's young is just madness. Hanley should not be playing. Simple as that. We don't improve until that happens because our defence is absolutely laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red23 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 This is the common statement from everyone and highlights the dire issue we have! We have NO option but to play Hanley/Martin/Berra. How is that even possible. And not one single up and coming CH to be seen in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Grim, grim times when I'd be fine seeing Steven Anderson in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But but but that will make us worse, the other guys clearly aren't better or they'd play and throwing them in will just make things worse thought id give you the generic reply you'll likely get from certain camps, even though i agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players touching 30 shouldn't be in with a shout for that as they'll be 34/35 by the time that comes around. We'll be into this stupid fucking Nations League route of qualifying by then aswell.

I have no issue with younger guys being given a chance provided they have shown signs that they will some day maybe be good enough for us to qualify. However suggestions like Mark Reynolds (who couldn't get a game years ago when he was playing better than now), Considine, Taylor, Boyd, Anderson etc are ridiculous. In fairness I'm not sure Craig McCulloch Burley was actually suggesting them.. at least I hope he wasn't.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 How about Daryl Meggat? He's been playing out his skin for Ayr United this season and is playing at a good level every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
