You asked a question and three separate posters have provided you with pretty much the same response. You just don't fancy the guy as a player - you are entitled to that opinion. You are hardly alone in that regard on this forum. However making unsubstantiated comments to denigrate his efforts doesn't show you up in a good light. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The fact we're arguing about playing an absolute jobber of a steady eddie RB or an untested 19 year old who isn't playing regularly for their club says it all about our fortunes at RB for the time being. Soon Patterson (or perhaps that Ramsay at Aberdeen) will be our RB but for now, the middling Premiership RB that is O'Donnell should get the nod for this game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t long ago we were playing the other Paterson at right back. SOD got a chance when Hutton retired and there was no one to go on the trip to Peru/Mexico. That we have (not exactly a dilemma) a choice at all is improvement. In the next 12 months you’d expect there to be genuinely good options. We can then focus our complaints on the goalkeeping problem, amongst other areas. With Doig and Hickey the understudies on the other side, our full backs look set for the next 12+ years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 No idea why people would think otherwise, but Tuesday night is a must win. If we don’t win we will not have a chance to be second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Is O’Donnell better than Patterson defensively? Possibly, but there really isn’t that much in it. Paterson is light years ahead offensively, and given we rely on our wing backs so much I would rather have one that can actually get forward. There are three central defenders and two holding midfielders - why do we need a defensive RWB as well. We are far too obvious going forward with SOD in the team, blunt the left hand side and we are basically done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 There’s an easy way to avoid playing O’Donnell or Patterson. Gordon Tierney - Hanley - Cooper - Robertson Gilmour - McGregor Fraser - McGinn - Turnbull Adams 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t win we will not have a chance to be second. I mean, this is simply untrue. Let’s say we draw with Austria and Denmark beat Israel and then we beat Israel at Hampden; we’d have 12 points, Austria would - most likely - have 11 points and Israel would have 10 points. We’d then have very winnable games against Faroes and Moldova to get us up to 18 points, with neither Austria or Israel likely to be higher than 14 points. Now, I know there are so many variables/assumptions in there but it’s hardly a stretch. We could really use a win but it’s obviously incorrect to say we’re finished with a draw.

Just because the line up shows him out wide doesn’t mean he’d be playing as a winger. Robertson would provide the width on that side. Fraser is the only winger in the squad so you need someone else to play on the other side. It’s not a hill I’m willing to die on but it solves the right back problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An experiment that lasted precisely 45 minutes because that's how long it took Robinson to realise it was, in fact, a terrible, terrible idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Anyone watch Austria's hounding by Israel? Curious about what happened there, considering the stats. We've seen plenty of Israel, and they've never looked like World Cup qualifiers, being roughly on par with us. Their results are a bit all over the place. You'd think Austria would've been on high alert, considering they just received a similar result over there a couple of years ago. By Christ, some lovely finishes but Austria had an absolute shitemare at the back. Can only hope that continues next week. Israel didn't look too hot at the back either from the highlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
