Gordopolis Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I’d be fairly confident in predicting that Hendry won’t get near the Scotland squad. Honking. I thought he was decent when he stuck to defending. See Scotland away to Hungary for example, where he and McKenna looked solid in a 3 while Mulgrew was floundering.The problems arose when he started trying to rove up the park with the ball at his feet (sort of) and almost always gave it away and left his team exposed. It seemed like that destroyed his confidence and he never got it back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, it's a shame the EFL Professional Development League North Section season has been cancelled, denying Clarke the chance to go and watch David Bates playing against a bunch of teenagers on a training ground in front of a handful of anoraks and players' family members. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Perhaps Bates can get a move to something called "Oostende" and then he could be back in the mix -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Really hard to name the two/three best CH's and therefore all shouts are sensible. Agreed. Always room for negative bores though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Is Liam Cooper likely to get minutes for Leeds in the Premier League or will they sign an upgrade? I've not seen much of Leeds but he looks like the weaker of the two starting CBs to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No certainty that he'll be at Leeds next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Liam Cooper would be an absolute disaster in the EPL. A reckless CB who loves to be caught out of position and respond by dragging folk down. Jack Hendry was never even close to being good enough for Scotland, Celtics bizarre wee spell of just signing any Scot who got any hype around them allowed him to get capped. A complete bombscare. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Get the suggestion of Hendry at CB right into the sea. Like him and Stephen O’Donnell, anyone who can’t cut it at EFL2 level should be instantly dismissed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine he could be on the move come the end of the season. Also surprised to see world class Harry Souttar couldn’t stop Fleetwood getting scudded in the playoffs last night. Lindsay made the the bench in the last few games but he's fourth or fifth choice behind Batth, Chester and Collins. Liam is clearly out of favour under Michael O'Neill so he definitely needs a move. Lower end of the Championship/top of League One seems to be Lindsay's level. Perhaps Nathan Jones will sign him again for Luton. A return to Barnsley would not be a bad move either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Rose is rumoured to be heading to Leeds, it would be good if the pair of them were playing together as we would have a ready made partnership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s particularly good for Scotland, certainly not a first choice right-back, but he’s better than the lowest league in the EFL . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's was Lindsay's level when he played regularly for Barnsley. Nathan Jones paid £2 million to sign him for Stoke City but O'Neill wanted James Chester. Stephen O'Donnell only played in League 2 for Luton Town. He was released after.James Justin (now starting Leicester City) took his place In England, Lindsay has played regularly at 2 levels higher than O'Donnell. O'Donnell was good at Thistle but Liam was clearly better and badly missed when he left. It's hard to understand why Scotland managers won't give Liam a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Donnell didn't get called up for Scotland when he was cutting about the lower leagues of England though, he got called up for Scotland when he was performing consistently well in the Scottish Premiership for a team who were the third best in the country for well over a year and a half. Lindsay hasn't been given a chance because he has never been one of the best options available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Jones, who developed Leicester's James Justin, clearly rated Lindsay enough to buy him for £2 million. Lindsay is better than Bates (poor when playing for Sevco at Firhill) and Hendry who we sold after only 8 games for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsay is undoubtedly twice the play Jack Hendry is, but if he isn't playing regularly at club level he won't be in the National Team squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
