HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 How has Slicker looked for the U21s? He’s made the bench a couple of times for Man City this year (presumably due to COVID and injuries). I figure he’s at best 4th choice but might get a chance on loan soon? Not sure if he’s just another Jordan Archer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw and weak on crosses but he is a big lad that spreads himself well at least he has that in his favour I suppose the rest will come the more that he plays another guy that could benefit with a loan and game time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanbrush Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Slicker had a few dodgy moments first u21 game he played, Archie Mair came in against Kazakhstan and Slicker the played again against Belgium, looked decent in that game, few good stops, quite vocal and looks confident 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Gallacher was a good keeper. Wish we had one of those three now, Kelly looked dreadful in the Championship for QPR. It's a shame McCrorie stalled so much, he looked very good in the Scottish championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Watching McCrorie at queens I felt absolutely certain he’d be Scotland number 1 once Gordon/ Marshall went. I can no longer say that and the other choices offer little hope as alternatives 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggled with some basic stuff and was at fault with the goal. I hope he can improve and become an option for us but I remain unconvinced. Hopefully Slicker has a bit more about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Also I absolutely hate how Clarke comes out and punches they ball very un British Next thing you know he'll be using funny shaped plugs and driving on the wrong side of the road! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 BBC reported that Steve Clarke was at Motherwell v St Johnstone on Saturday in part to look over his backup goalkeepers no doubt. It made me think about David Marshall - should be interesting to see where he ends up in January and if he can force his way ahead of Zander Clark, Liam Kelly or Jon McLaughlin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it will be interesting to see where Marshall ends up. Going through a rough spell just now but I would like to think he's got more left in the tank. If he stays in England would it just be League 1 he would have offers from? would maybe like to see him come back to the SPL. An Aberdeen, Hibs type maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Leicester actually try to buy McGregor or was it just lazy paper talk? He would have to dislodge Tielemans, Soumare or Ndidi, I like McGregor but I think he'd struggle to take the pace of any of they 3. But if the bid was true then I imagine he would have had a good relationship with Rodgers and they would probably have trebled his wages so if it was a genuine interest then I think he would have left Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 A month or so old, but thought it was worth posting for people who might be interested. It's funny how football turns. If Derby had their shit together in the summer David Marshall could have left in time and been called up as number one for the remaining 7 World Cup qualifying games. As it happened we got Craig Gordon who was standout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Even if Marshall was playing well at club level week in week out, the Craig Gordon has shown he is our number 1 goalkeeper. Can't help but think what might have happened at the Euros if Gordon played instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red23 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Gunn must really not fancy it, at all. So fk him, unless he's waiting for Gordon/Marshall to retire. 17 goals conceded in last 3 games. good work.

G51 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Some fall from grace for Marshall. From playing in the Euros 6 months ago, to ending his contract at Derby early to become QPR’s third choice keeper behind Jordan Archer. Just retire mate. Have some dignity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Back-up keeper Archer hurt his shoulder while making a decisive penalty save in Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Rotherham. With first-choice keeper Seny Dieng at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, Archer’s injury leaves teenager Joe Walsh as Rangers’ only option unless a keeper is signed before this weekend’s match." Seems a bit of an odd move in that it's pretty good in the short term, but you'd imagine Seny Dieng will be back as first choice when he returns from Afcon and so it won't guarantee him a place in the Scotland squad for the playoff in March and he's potentially back at square one in the summer if he wants to take part in the Nations League. That's assuming getting back into the national team is a driver for his move of course. Edited January 11, 2022 by 2426255 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Just retire mate. Have some dignity.I have zero issue with anyone wanting to prolong their career as much as possible. There's no other job like being a sportsman and if that's been your passion for decades then of course you'll continue doing that rather than earning a quarter of the money doing something you don't enjoy as much. There's nothing undignified about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
