Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 12 minutes ago, Gordopolis said: True. The only thing we can gauge is his apparent preference for known quantities and experience (he hasn't chopped and changed too much and has fallen back on guys he knows like Brophy, or when needing replacements has gone for guys like Paul McGinn and Considine - both in the later years of their careers - over youth and potential). That makes me think the smart money is on McLean. Gilmour would be a much more exciting pick, but that's not quite Clarke's way. Aye I think so, same with Hickey it will be very hard for them to force their way in in time. And there is a lot to be said for experience and team spirit and a bit of physique etc, guys like McLean are senior pros with hundreds of games under their belts, Hickey and Gilmour won't have a hundred between them by the time the Euros come round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Don’t see Paterson being taken as a full back either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate Shankland very highly - I'm a Dundee fan He scored a brilliant goal last week against some c**t But I think he will just miss out Shankland, Burke, Fleck and Turnbull will just miss out I reckon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them all that well though. I think Palmer will be taken and then if needed someone like Forrest or Fraser could cover the right wing back position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I think Palmer is a better player but he's been out of the team recently coming off the bench and often not playing RB or RWB, think he gets used mostly in midfield just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 If we are really having a serious discussion as to whether Gilmour is a better player than either Fleck or McLean then we are fucked before we get started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nisbett is looking the best of the others just now and in with a decent chance. I know that contradicts what I said about players who didn't help us get there going but sue me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
