borojock Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I think but may be wrong that the only Scottish player that got any game time in the English Premiership yesterday was Flect, and 8 games were played. Thats very poor for our national team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Brighton, Newcastle, West brom still to play, so potentially half a dozen to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 John Fleck scores a beauty in the Sheffield derby. Forgetting all the hype about him years ago he is one to watch this season. Just signed a new 4 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 McCrorie, McKennie both starting this weekend & impressing and Harry Souttar on the bench in EPL for Stoke, couple of injuries yesterday could see him starting now also. Hope yet for us at centre back!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabtheBruce Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Liam Lindsay now seems to have established himself for Barnsley in the English Championship. He's another potential Scotland player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noctonjock Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I bet in a few years we'll be overrun with centre halves but no strikers . You only have to look at the 3 in the present squad . If we were to lose Griffiths think we'd struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's pish and would rather see Stevie May given a shot. Fletcher is also proof that statistics don't always tell the full story. He has thirty caps and nine goals. On the face of it that is quite respectable. However six of those goals were against Gibraltar and another was against a poor Iceland team in 2009.

JECK Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Ah the old Steven fletcher debate. Basically yes he should have scored more goals. He holds the ball up well, brings others into the game, does well in that respect. It's the final 2 fixtures of this campaign. The squad is going to change no matter what happens. Yes Stevie May must be introduced sooner rather than later if he continues good at Aberdeen. Griffiths is going to play the next 2 games regardless.

It's becoming frustrating one of our most effective players is not getting game time. when he does play, Liverpool fans like him. I don't get it. I was planning to watch the game tonight if he was in the squad, but it looks like I will be tuning into the Leeds game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannannan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Would imagine he's still seen as not stable enough defending.Even though it's hard to imagine him being worse than his fellow defenders.I'm sure he will be a fixture in the not too distant future.

Your statistics would also tell you of those 30 caps, many of them were only substitute appearances where he played a few minutes. His strike rate isn't great for sure and his time has probably passed, although I'd certainly have him before Martin. To call him pish is stupid though and in light of what we have available merits a place in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
