1320Lichtie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Considering he doesn't get near the U-21 squad, it's pretty unlikely that he'll be fast tracked to the seniors. Gemmil has wanted him in the U21 squad but he's held off saying he needs to make his mind up before fully committing. Tbh we should do it, Wales have done it with quite a few half and half kids now that could've played for themselves or England. Nothing to lose. Guy started for United in the last game of last season to, somehow managed to miss this. 6 foot 4 central mid. f**k aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Liam Cooper should be starting this one if he's available, so we can have a look at him against decent opponents. Guys like Cairney, Macgregor, Mcginn and Fraser should also be given a chance to show what they can do. If Scott Brown is still humming and hawin about carrying on post Strachan then he should be nowhere near the squad. If he's committed to the cause then of course get him on the park. Given the **** schedule though I'd imagine this is one he'll be missing out on either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Danny Fox (remember him?) has supposedly been excellent for Nottingham Forest since changing his position to centre half earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we don't go down that route. We have more than enough 30+ y/o players already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzohiggy Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 For the Dutch game I would like to see us find a balance in our squad that looks to the future but without making wholesale changes. Say what you want about Strachan but our form was excellent in the second part of the campaign and we don't want to go back to square one. I want to see the following players being involved at some point Lindsay Kingsley McGregor Ryan Fraser Ryan Christie Mctominay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yeah, when we hired burley we instantly lost all the spirit and cohesion of the McLeish era. Strachan failed to get us to a playoff but he left us in a good place form-wise, let's keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASSANDMOVE Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Barry Douglas is surely due a call up, still only 28, been playing left back for a Wolves side on fire in the Championship. Would have been capped by now if he hadn't spent the last 5 years or so abroad IMO. Know he would be playing same position as Tierney and Robertson, but he's not getting the game time at the moment. An experienced left back who can defend as well as attack , Malky might be having a look at him, QP connection all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 3 left-backs who are better than him, and all of them are substantially younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASSANDMOVE Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think your still drunk from last night (well done by the way) I don't agree we have 3 better left backs defensively. IMO Tierney and Robertson have more going forward but are still learning the art of defending. We need to stop leaking silly goals so I don't think our left backs bombing forward all the time is sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 You're suggesting calling up someone to replace probably the two best players we have, and he's the one that's drunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Burke's played 28 minutes of football for West Brom and is out for the next while with an injury, while Fraser is riding the bench for Bournemouth.

PASSANDMOVE Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Shows how much you guys know. Barry won the Polish title with Lech Poznan, a higher level than our own Premier League. Really, not better than Lee Wallace, your having a laugh. Ignoring Wallace, both Robertson and Tierney are very inexperienced and have a lot to learn defensively.

tartanbrush Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I would try a line up along these lines Archer Tierney Lindsay Cooper Robertson Fleck Mcginn Armstrong Fraser McGregor Griffiths With Cairney, Shinnie and Souttar coming on at half time. Maybe have May and Cummings in the squad too to see what they can do. ETA.. I would also maybe consider calling up Scott McTominay at Man Utd to get him in and around the squad. We've done this before with youngsters just to give them a bit of a taste of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd be surprised if all the Celtic players are called up. Reckon there's a good chance they'll ask for at least some of them to be rested due to the 'busy schedule' or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
