If you’re suggesting we play him as a centre forward then I’m assuming you’ve been up drinking all night? he's been used by Rogers as a striker a few times...

I remember Rodgers starting him up front ahead of Griffiths against Rosenberg and he scored the winner I think. I wouldn’t start him up front for us though unless we have a serious injury crisis. He’s normally pretty average in his preferred position on the wing for us never mind playing him as a centre forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay is a good player but too inconsistent at the moment. If he keeps performing well then I’m sure he’ll get into the squad again pretty soon.

What has Rhodes done at club level in last two years to even warrant a call up? He scored loads at Huddersfield and Blackburn but did nothing at Boro and just warms the bench at Sheff Weds now so looks like a career that has just stalled. Chris Martin gets loads of stick but he contributed in this campaign and is still a reasonably decent championship striker even if he's not in the Derby team atm so I have no issue with him being the back up for the next campaign.

Tartan Chris Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 He scored a decent amount for Fulham last season. I think he offers more than Rhodes at international level. Rhodes in his few starts hardly got into the game. Think Scotland need to move away from continually calling up players who've seen better days in their career. Rhodes and Stephen Fletcher would be two. Arguably Darren Fletcher is another but depends on whether Brown plays on for another campaign.

If you're going to be as sad and pedantic as to actually take the time and effort to look up baseless statistics to substantiate your points then at least make your quotes accurate. Mckay is viewed by forest fans as a top performer this season, they're not basing their opinion on opta stats though. Also Parklife you strike me as the wee fanny in the gang that sticks two fingers up at his rivals when he's about a mile away from danger.

" McKay is one of the top performers in the championship " has turned into "well thought of by fans of a very average championship side" Got nothing against McKay, but up to now he's flattered to deceive. His end product has been very poor for years and that he's had a decent first 10 games is great.. but it shouldn't earn him a call up tho.

Aye, nae bother, big man. I'm sorry that your feelings were hurt when i laughed at you for suggesting that an average winger, who plays for the 12th best team in the English Championship should be playing up front for Scotland.

To be fair, he starts in the position he plays for his club, a position he's played for much of his 12 year career, which spans two dozen champions league and europa league games, 2 titles, one cup , and english championship playoff and numerous internationals where he's done well. it seems a bit unfair to equate that to taking a guy who's barely kicked a ball at a competitive level and playing that guy out of position.

I wasn't saying McKay should play, i was just making the point that him playing at that level shouldn't prevent him from getting called up. I think he has the talent and ability to play for Scotland, but he doesn't have the consistency, confidence or mental strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
