Scumjob Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 We've a clutch of centre backs who are all either shite, bombscares, headless chickens, average on a good day at best or very tentatively maybe a prospect who will likely become one of the other categories but still provides meagre hope for the future. Given the above may as well give Devlin and McKenna a run as a partnership until/unless someone else is banging the door down. At least they seem alright in the SPL and play regularly together. I'd hate to see known dross like Hanley or Mulgrew come back in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have his own show? Or did you phone him? Secondly just because Jonny Russell says an opinion, it does nor mean he is correct. Thirdly Chris Martin has played for Scotland, quite a few times. And was shite. Fourthly (if there is such a word) he's only got 3 goals in 10 games. It's hardly banging down the door. There is another striker available to Scotland playing in the Championship who has 9 in 16 and is only 22. So go and call Jonny Russell back, or ring his talk show and inform him. That both him and you are incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin isn’t the best Striker Scotland has but he’s clearly one of the better ones of those available and should make The squad. Only reasonable target man type I can think of if Fletcher no longer wants to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more the ridiculous picture that was painted there of Chris Martin that I was disagreeing with. I don't know if he's looked far better than Mcburnie for us tho. They have both been really poor for Scotland. But christ who else do we have at the moment. Personally I'd be starting with Shankland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'd want Martin starting if he was in the squad, likewise with Fletcher. If we had an important, must-win game tomorrow, with the options available in the current squad, I think I'd probably start Naismith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That both him and you are incorrect. Personally I'd have Martin involved. He rarely looked that good for us, but he rarely had the chance to have a proper go at it. He was often the throw-him-on-for-the-last-few option, and I don't think we ever really played to anything approaching his strengths. So I'd have him involved. But having said that, it's just another example of the "aye but if we had him" crowd of players. The worst player to pull on a Scotland shirt when he's involved, and hot shit whenever he isn't. Schroedinger's massive arsed striker. We've seen it with Fletcher, Griffiths and Rhodes. Even with Shankland slightly. It's easy to point to someone who isn't getting a chance and talk them up, without really thinking that there's probably a very good reason why they're not there.

I'm also pretty sure he's never played with Shankland so is in no position to compare and given that he himself is plying his trade in a mickey mouse league full of pensioners and college kids I'd really take his opinions with a very large pinch of salt..............

One of the two you've posted will start at RDM, but I'm not quite sure who, and the strikers are a lottery. Swap Christie and Forrest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I actually thought McGregor was outstanding in both matches against Lazio and that's as high a level of form as anyone in our squad can bring to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is True, however Robertson has arguably been one of our worst performers in recent matches by getting caught out of position at crucial moments and also making rash decisions but I doubt if any would have called for him to be dropped if fit. In fairness it would be good, just for once, to have a full squad to choose from so everyone could just concentrate on playing their own position and let the rest take care of itself. As it stands I think too many of our players are worrying about other areas of the pitch and as such are actually failing in doing their own job......

Bing.McCrosby Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'm not wanting him to become my Harry Souttar type figure. But Karlan Grant has scored alot in the Championship this year, he's only 22 and being linked to a premier league move in January. We surely have to be asking him if he's interested? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
