If so, I am pleased that Clarke has reached out as up front our choices are woeful at present. I really hope that omission will stir up Griffiths - surely now the league has gone he will get more opportunities - bang in 5 or 6 goals and he can make a decent claim for the Euros squad He's ok, has at least scored and looked decent in a number of premier league games in a decent enough side. His main attribute really is not being Oli Burke or Oli McBurnie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hard to know why Greg Taylor continues to get a call-up. If Robertson gets injured or is rested, Tierney goes to LWB surely and we bring in a different centre back? As happened in Slovakia. Possibly planning to play him against the Faroes, but it seems like a bit of a waste of a squad spot. Turnbull is about the only player you can say is a bit hard done to, but I don’t think Clarke would trust him in his sitting midfield two (McTominay/McGregor/Jack/McLean/Fleck already there) and we have McGinn/Armstrong/Christie fighting it out for the place behind the strikers. Such is life. Avoids another Kazakhstan situation at the very least. I would be surprised if Robertson plays all three games so I think it’s worth having him in there, especially with Tierney’s injury history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really complain otherwise. Why wouldn't Fleck be in the squad? He's been in most squads recently and has generally been fine when he has played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here? The games after Serbia were a wake up call. You are missing something. I don’t actually think he has played that well for Motherwell this season although he has been a lot better the last few games. But in his defence people like u keeping stating he is shite, when he has actually turned in decent performances for Scotland last few games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither McGinn or Armstrong play the same role as Jack, McTominay will be playing centre half and Tom Cairney has been injured since December, and is also pretty shite. Jack has been, and will continue to be, one of Scotland’s most important players. We simply don’t have anyone else who does what he does as well as he does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenockraver Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Just did a wee lap around the room there when I heard the Che Adams news. That has boosted our striking options in a major way. Edited March 16, 2021 by greenockraver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Worth noting also that Adams has actually scored 11 EPL goals since football returned after lockdown. Not a bad return at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Firhill Frozen Pie Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Olly McBollocks still has dirty pictures of of someone in the SFA i see. No idea how that guy makes the squad. I would rather have a 10 minute unfit Griffiths cameo where there is more chance of a goal being scored than McBollocks does in 90. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I wonder if he’s planning on trying out McTominay in midfield again. There’s an awful lot of centre halves in the squad if not. I don’t see the harm in trying out Nisbet even if his purple patch at the start of the season has died down. We’re hardly blessed with options there. McBurnie being there ahead of both Griffiths and Shankland I’m less keen on though. In the Slovenia game the two of them looked far more dangerous in their cameo appearances after McBurnie spent the whole game shitting the bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with this. I think our best options for the two holding midfield roles ar McTominay next to McGinn. McGinn has been playing there all season for Villa. It would give great protection and a good bit of quality there with drive and physique. Also would allow you to call up either Gauld or Turnbull if McGinn not playing further forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
