O'Donnell is still a better choice than both at the minute, but I'd have Patterson backing him up over Jack every time. Again, assuming we can actually promote the U21's. You know who I reckon could have done a decent job there? Boyle from Hibs, another one we lost to Australia because the people in charge are tubes. He'd be really good at RWB and passable at RB for the odd game imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Gallagher has been mince this season, wouldn't have him in the squad never mind starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as he is at midfield though, clearly. Obviously I’m not as up on Patterson’s performances as you will be but given he’s only really played the position at youth level I think there’s still a lot of assumptions being made with him. I've seen a fair bit of Patterson and I think he's the real deal. Has a playing style almost identical to Tavernier, including the engine, except he's 18 years old and he's Scottish.Built well physically too. I'd trust him against teams like your Motherwells and Killies (and Rangers will too), which given we've actually called players up from those teams, should say something. I'd have no problems using him if we had to, but we're talking about a near-apocalyptic scenario here where we've lost our first and second choice right back in Palmer and Tierney. In normal circumstances I'd leave him in the 21's, but these circumstances are anything but normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Sounds like Arsenal aren’t happy that Tierney has been told to isolate and the player is adamant he was socially distanced from Armstrong at all times. They’re looking into getting his isolation removed before the premier league game next weekend I can't remember if it was regarding Scotland last month but somebody said they take photo's in the team bus/ canteen etc. to see who's sitting where in case of a positive test. If Tierney has no idea they've probably looked back at the photos/cctv and felt like they had no choice. I remember now. It was the NT's head doctor that was explaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumjob Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Wonder how many more we will lose before the match. Centre back partnership of McTominay and Patterson anyone? Physical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are having to isolate, it's because they were in proximity to Armstrong. If a few more go down (especially from other nations), I can see the English clubs refusing to release players for the November matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 The only time I've seen Patterson at full-back was when he was getting turned inside out by a 38 year-old policeman from Gibraltar a couple of weeks ago, but clearly Gerrard thinks highly enough of him not to sign another right-back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for Griffiths the man overcoming his personal problems while getting the help and support he needs. Griffiths the footballer, on the other hand, has done the square root of feck all for several years, and if Clarke is thinking about calling him, which I doubt, then I'll be joining the ranks of those calling for his head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 47 minutes ago, Carnoustie Young Guvnor said: Its just a shite state of affairs. On paper we should have enough to beat Israel but I'm not particularly confident either. And the NL is our only chance of qualifying for the WC and its likely to be fucked after two games. Pish. It's far from only us who have problems, Israel themselves have been decimated by injuries and our last game against the Czechs was a gimme due to their entire first team squad being eliminated due to covid, so really we've little to complain about. I'd also add that given that the Czech republic have currently the highest covid rates in Europe, that both they and Slovakia could be facing similar covid issues by the time we actually come to play them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that we're only ever going to play one up front, and Dykes has impressed in that role so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
