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.
-
Its that nobody should talk about the Scotland team or players i know its pretty weird
-
Thanks for letting people discuss it, and its great to know exactly what Steve Clarke thinks
-
Well its positive and better than "I wouldn't consider scotland"
-
I think if he would play for us he would be a great addition, what makes you think he's the most likely to play for us tho?
-
If your frustrated with people discussing potential Scotland strikers on the Scotland pages in the Scotland section? Just don't read it.
-
What you gonna do, thats what some are like
-
Wether hes finished at QPR or not i couldn't offer an informed opinion. But looking at the fan reactions to him id guess he's not playing well. He's certainly not scoring often. So its possible he might not get much of a look in next season if they see it as an area to improve.
-
Tbh id have Shankland as first pick also. Which considering its the same guy I watched for a season be pretty woeful for morton its quite something. Hes certainly not any kind of favourite of mine, just the most likely to actually score and play well.
-
I think perhaps your misinterpretating or reading someone else's posts. You came on the thread and had 2 digs at me. And I did not retaliate, so perhaps time for a wee look in the mirror.
-
I may be wrong but I seem to remember us going at each other in the past and then calling a truce your the guy who doesn't support Scotland yeah? Good stop with the grammar tho
-
Go and quote me talking like that then, ill wait.
-
I'd say they need to and probably will buy a new forward.
-
Its childish playground stuff, "we think this". Shows lack of confidence in yourself. Anyway thought I was on ignore for the 5th time.

Never heard of this and don't fancy searching it on the works monitored WiFi. But if you can explain that would be great, sounds interesting
