er yir macaroon Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 McBurnie looks to have turned into a proper player, he’s filled out and has quite a presence. He looks like a natural goal scorer, tall, good with his feet, and decent pace. Might as well fast track him into the full squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin, Rhodes, Fletcher, Watt? Shaw is not ready by a long way. I'm struggling to think of any one, not just anyone good enough for the squad.

Quite often we have been forced to rely on goals from defence or midfield to get us the results. Players like Snoddy can weigh in in that area and is showing signs of returning to form.

Just it's worse now because there's no stream of nearly-ready youngsters coming through like the centre backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good players in the u19s but they’re not playing first team football. Aitchison and Rudden both look good. Callum Smith is at least playing but only Championship. I’ve been quite impressed by him, but again, he won’t be ready for the next campaign. I suppose Cummings and Martin should be considered.

Probably having his best season in the Championship and it might be quite useful having a 6'6'' striker in the squad. We're almost always going to play with one up front so three strikers in the squad is enough. It's looking like Griffiths, McBurnie and one of Martin, Smith or Cummings. It's definitely a weak area but if McBurnie turns out to be a good Championship/lower end Premier League striker and Griffiths stays injury free it wont look so bad.

PASTA Mick Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Lovely cross by Forrest to set up Dembele against Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Performance site I use had Snodgrass MOM for the ffth time in ten games!!! I did post earlier that Tierney in central defence and Robertson and Patterson as wing backs looked good Problem is that has all three playing out of position. Might be heading towards a back four with robertson on left Tierney on right and Patterson right sided midfield. Could end up in a situation were cant play two of our best players at the same time.

Not really: Paterson has played most of his career as a RB, Robertson playing wing back is not too different from LB, not like he's changing sides or something. Only thing is I'm sure Eck hinted he wasn't in favour of playing Tierney out of position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye imagine him getting that much space from the full back to cross the ball at international level. Not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviebee Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Some run and finish by Tierney. Anybody else think he'd be wasted in central defence? He has the look of a top quality box to box midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look great there v Slovakia. Didn't Rogers say he saw his future as a centre back? He knows a lot more about fitba than me but Tierney looks a real special talent and I reckon he could be running the show in the middle of the park.

Doubt if England will ever call him up and don't even think we should at the moment unless he phones and lets us know he prepared to walk backwards while naked over the forth road bridge to play for us. If he turns out good enough fair enough but for the time being........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Theres about 5 or 6 wingers ahead of him. Fraser, phillips, Forrest, Ritchie, Burke, snodgrass. Even Mackay Steven deserves to be ahead of him.
