SkyBlueScot Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 How's Souttar getting on at Ross? Wondered whether STOKE being relegated might actually be a good thing for him? Maybe more chance of playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Porteous at Hibs is one to keep your eye on. He's still to get a good run in the team, but he's impressd me when given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabtheBruce Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I think Big Harry Souttar is doing quite well at County. He’s a really big unit who is composed and knows how to play out fae the back. Aye, if Stoke do go down he’s probably more likely to play regularly, so it may help him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Let’s be honest.... we are talking about a lot of ‘potential’ Centre Halfs and not seasoned professionals able to operate at international level. McKenna, hendry, Souttar, Porteous have all looked decent rookie defenders this season. I can only really speak about souttar as I have seen him the most but under normal circumstances I wouldn’t want him near a Scotland squad. Yes, he shows some promise, but he is prone to lapses, inexperienced and inconsistent. It would be great if we had all these guys coming through to compete for two future spots and try and oust the seasoned international pro when they develop to a consistently high level.... the worry is that 5hey don’t exist. Personally I would have Berra in but looks like Eck disagrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have faith in them although It's funny that i now see Tierney as a reliable old pro which is a mistake if he's in a new position. Hendry, Souttar and the others will make their way into the squad although i'd still include Mulgrew or Hanley in the squad for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendry, Bates, McCrorie all right footers I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a relatively recent Scotland game (last 12-24 months ?) where the starting 11 had around 5-7 left footed players. Must be highly unusual.

Malcolm Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Not sure mcrorie is cut out for centre half.... defensive mid or right back? How about Liam linsdsay... apparently he is not bad... right footer?? He seems to have been forgotten about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsay is left footed and, according to McFadden, that’s why he wasn’t called up - too many left footers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 So that’s Lindsay, Berra, mulgrew, Tierney, McKenna, all competing for left centre back!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Barnsley are going down and Lindsay has been part of a defence that’s been pretty disgraceful in the championship. i am not writing him off but maybe it’s not wrong that he hasn’t been included in recent squads.

How often have you seen Lindsay play? Or are you basing this on a quick glance at the championship table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
