Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Imo if fit and has played ten games for Chelsea Gilmour is straight in, not just the squad the team too. Maybe John Souttar, McRorie too, possibly even Lewis Ferguson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) The formation is fine when winning, or against attacking teams. It is wholly ineffective against teams like Israel who put 10 men behind the ball. Simply, there aren't enough options. Other than Forrest and Fraser, I can see no one outside the current squad with any stake to a starting place. I'd like to see Gilmour getting game time for Chelsea, and then having a shot at being a squad player. We are desperate for a real goalscorer, and really need another Ryan Fraser-type player. Our current squad is staggeringly slow. There's no wonder KT was our best player on Sunday - he appears to be the only player in that squad fast enough to beat a man. We don't pass it quick enough otherwise, and 3-5-2 means no overloading the flanks so we don't get behind the opposition very often.

AndyDD Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Fraser makes a huge difference straight away. Not only does he have frightening pace (which will be less useful against teams sitting in defending a lead or draw) but he has great delivery from open play and from deadball situations; he actually has a far better delivery than Christie does. Christie of course offers great energy, tidy footwork, is a clever player and has goals in him, but pound for pound there's a strong argument for Fraser starting ahead of him. I suppose the added benefit of having Fraser on the bench is that his pace, skill and delivery will be even more effective against tiring opponents later in a game. Hot and cold though he may be, James Forrest also has an injection of pace and can create and score goals. He's definitely capable of changing a game, on his day. The other hope is that Griffiths continues to get game time between now and March, so that he is fitter and sharper come the next batch of games. He really should have finished that chance last night and I'm still in disbelief that he never, half fit or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Tammy 1297 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Last night Clarke would have killed for Adams pace last night without Forrest and Fraser injured Had a unfit thumb and misfiring McBurnie to turn to instead who never effected the game when they went on We genuinely lack pace in the team when there not around And he isn't trusting Burke to start who is rapid with no end product 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Tammy 1297 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 We can still have a club side mentality cos they know each other And play in the same teams as some of our players Our pool of players is to shallow for a nation out size If we are aiming to qualify for the world cup Our standard has to be raised higher And need players who are up against quality each week to play for us And not struggle against the pot four and five seeds Look how Craig Brown kept faith in the old guard And that was when our national teams decline happened I don't want that to happen to us again We are poor up front and at right back right wing back It's Clarkes job to address this and go after other options What is the worse that can happen? We get knocked back again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
