Reid Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Paterson is a decent player but seriously? Well, who else would they call up? It's between Paterson and Gordon, imo. He won't play unless there's about 4 or 5 injuries in defence as Whittaker and Martin will be preferred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see Whittaker at RB on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But youre right though, its another MacLeod, doubt he will actually play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockysJetpack Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Seems a shame that a player of Gary Irvine's talent is left out whilst Calum Paterson gets the nod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If anything, this call up shows just how poor our options are at the back out with our favoured 6/7 players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Absolute joke that Paterson is in before Gordon. We all know that Paterson - or Gordon for that matter - will not play but surely we should be selecting someone who has been playing very well in the top league rather that someone who has been decidedly average in the 2nd tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberDon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The squad could certainly do with another left-back - I'm not sure having 4 players who can play there is quite enough. He's played right back for Caley, and to a good standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that Paterson - or Gordon for that matter - will not play but surely we should be selecting someone who has been playing very well in the top league rather that someone who has been decidedly average in the 2nd tier. Paterson was playing very well in the top league all of 6 months ago, and has substantially more top flight experience than Gordon. The players haven't suddenly changed in terms of ability since they swapped leagues in May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 He's played right back for Caley, and to a good standard. He played well there as an emergency option. But there's absolutely no need to rely on an emergency option when we have multiple natural right-backs available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Haud oan.. Callum Paterson? The last time Strachan seen him he was committing homicide on Dominique Malonga. And now he's getting called up ahead of someone more experience like David Gray? The mind boggles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games did Paterson play at full back - did he not spend most of his time up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah not really much other option now. Perhaps whittaker will be less if a bomb scare on his stronger side, don't think he's ever really played there for Scotland with Hutton being a near ever present on the right I think Whittaker has been good for Scotland the last few games. Certainly seems to have improved his defending abilities. Losing Bardsley is a big blow. I reckon he would have done a job on McGeady. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 How many games did Paterson play at full back - did he not spend most of his time up front. I think he was playing up front until about this time last season when Locke realised he was rotten. Hearts fans were raving about him at right back. Only seen him play there once and that was on the last game of the season, Wylde tore him a new one. Game didn't mean anything though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson is the future, will be good for him to be involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a few games at full-back in 2012/13, and then spent the entire second half of last season playing there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew it wouldn't be long before a Jambo would come galloping along to belittle someone else's opinion on their shite haircut of a right back. Gray is comfortably better than the majority of the dross that play for the shite teams in the Premiership and you ken it.

Marsh Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Maybe Russell Martin could play full-back with someone else i.e Greer partnering Hanley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Paterson is a very promising player but the call up is a bit of a surprise, he's not been at his best this season. Can see the logic in it though, he's got the ability to be the Scotland RB for the next 10 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
