  1. We know there will changes but not wholesale. Over the 3 games I think most of the squad will get a chance.

    Maybe something like this today? But it could be anything and that's something that we should celebrate. Strongest squad inavery long time.

    I wonder if it might genuinely be case that Steve Clarke's style of play suits Dykes much better than Mark Warburtons.

    I watched QPR a few weeks ago and he got absolutely no service. I saw a few England fans on the wind-up that he's just a qpr player. He's wasted there.

  3. So much about this is positive. One thing to highlight is the strength in depth in that squad.

    McKenna is now a squad player. Armstrong and Griff were on the bench. Fraser, our most creative player, was replaced by Christie. Forrest is injured. Almost every position is covered with good quality.

    ...and then there will be emerging talent still to come.

    Been more and more impressed with O'Donnell over past few games. He's been brilliant tonight

    Absolutely. He gets a lot of shit but he gives it his all and can create a lot. Maybe the wing back role suits him.

    Looking at all the 'bring x on', 'bring y on' is fantastic. Who'd have thought we'd have so many options.

    Johnston isn't anywhere near the same level as Fraser.  He could still be a good option but I find him frustrating but accept he is still young. 

    I agree but I feel he offers a creative spark we don't really have without Fraser. Even if it's from the bench.

    I've been really disappointed with Middleton's lack of progression (still time) and so I hope Johnston can step up soon.

    I guess this goes back to the Gauld discussion. Christie, McGregor, Forrest, Armstrong and McGinn are all great but Fraser is the one who can spark.

    Noticed Bain was in goal again for Geltic with Barkas on the bench. Has he become first choice at Celtic?

    I'm not saying our Goalkeeper situation is perfect but it wasn't that long ago I was pretty pessimistic. Bain, Gordon, McLaughlin (occasionally) are all playing and able to cover Marshall. McCrorie and Doohan are positive for the future as well.

    Great that he is joining up and wants to be part of the squad but Lampard would go ballistic if he played in either match and got injured again. More likely he will join the squad for training. Could be a big player in the finals if we get there.

    Possibly, it depends on his recovery stage. It might be perfect timing: play a competitive match at just the right level. Sure an agreement will be reached about how many minutes.

    Did they say if he is there to play or just to train and meet the other players ? He must have only just started training again.

    It's a real surprise. It's ideal for Chelsea I guess as a way of getting him back to fitness so he must be there to play, even if it's only a part.

    I'm hoping Mikey Johnston fully recovers from his injury problems be as he has the potential to be a match winner for us boy has so much talent

    Yeah, Johnston's a player that we've not really mentioned lately. I know he's injured but when we've talked about younger players or those out injured I've forgotten him.

    It's really pleasing to think of who we have now and who's on the fringes. They'll improve the squad if nothing else. Clarke makes us difficult to beat and then we add quality as they are ready!

  10. It's positive. Really positive. However we need our best players against Serbia and Tierney is our best (for me). He needs to be at CB I think. His passing out is better than McTominay's and at Arsenal a lot of attacks start with him or go through him. The 3 CBs are hard to choose now though.

     McTominay/Jack vie for CM and then I don't really know what to do with McGregor and Armstrong. 

    I'd go with

                     Marshall

         Gallagher  Cooper  Tierney

    O'Donnell                         Robertson 

          McGinn    Jack    Christie

                          Fraser

                          Dykes

     

    Turnbull, Gilmour, Campbell, McCrorie, Hickey and a few more will only make that squad stronger over the next year or two. C'mon!!!!
