Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 1 hour ago, mccaughey85 said: Griffith's has easily nailed down the spot, the guy carried Scotland in the second half of the qualifying campaign, even if he isn't starting for Celtic he is easily our best striker and should always be starting barring injury. Mcburnie is looking like he is defo second choice atm. Ultimately, a striker needs to score goals, he had a burst towards the end of qualifier, but has still got a record of 4 in 17. If other players are starting every game at a decent level and scoring a barrowload of goals, Griffith's starting place will start to look shaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If and it's a big if mcburnie or another striker is scoring loads and Griffith's hasn't played any football at all then we should think about changing who starts up front but until that happens then we should always be starting Griffiths. Personally even if mcburnie scores loads in the championship I would still want Griffiths up front as I think he is a superior player and he can bang in freekicks as well.

If you think back to the Slovenia home game he did everything but score. England game solved this. He is number one striker regardless of his club situation.

Super_Scotlandfan Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Wonder if McLeish is tempted to ask if he’ll come out of retirement. Had a very good season playing at left back last season. Could play home games in the nations league? Would probably be unfair making an exception for him though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many players get over 9 on there so will be interesting to see how he does. 7.5 and MoM for Mckay on who scored and 7.4 for McBurnie Other 7 or betters today Hanley 7.0 and 7.6 for Mulgrew although the ratings for the Blackburn game seem to be a bit high,maybe opta was broken there. Apologies for my liking of a stats based objective unbiased site but there you go. Better than seeing what you want to see. Who comes up with the ratings and what methodology do they use? How do you know they are accurate and how can you trust them? A few years back a friend of mine did the player ratings for his club for the FIFA games. Only problem was he was on a ban and so didn't actually go to any games for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's two years since Hutton retired and he's still the best Scottish right-back currently playing the game. McLeish probably is tempted but I'd be surprised if Hutton came out of retirement. Going by last season (and last night's game) he looks more like his old self than the player who retired from internationals in 2016. 1 hour ago, Tartan_McCole said: Aye, didn't cover himself in glory yesterday. He was at fault for Villa's second, that's for sure I'd still have him in the squad ahead of Archer though, providing he's playing regularly.

andyD Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 On 8/4/2018 at 9:21 PM, Clyde1998 said: A list of Scottish players in the English Championship so far, with their minutes played and WhoScored rating: Started: Bannam, Barry (Sheff Wed) - 90 - 6.21 Bit surprised by this as Bannan had a good game, particularly 2nd half. Some nice passes, crosses and full of running. Would have put him nearer 6.7-6.8 over the piece. Came on as sub: Fletcher, Steven (Sheff Wed) - 3 - 6.07 Not 100% fit still after being injured the 2nd half of last season, but throw in due to being a goal down and Wednesday having a striker sent off. Was offside for his only chance (with no real excuse for being off) and missed the sitter before the flag went up. Nuhiu being suspended will probably get him a start this weekend, so hopefully he gets sharper with more time on the pitch. Also Started: Palmer, Liam (Sheff Wed) - 90 - 6.00 Playing right wing back. Decent going forward, but still suspect defensively. Gave his man a bit too much space to cross, but that's partly because Wednesday struggled to handle Wigan's formation, meaning Palmer was 2v1 a few times. Still don't think he's international class at all, but aside from Paterson and O'Donnell I don't really see anyone doing better than Palmer, sadly.

WhoScored Ratings Explained WhoScored.com Ratings are considered to be the most accurate, respected and well-known performance indicators in the world of football. Our ratings are currently used among media giants, bookmakers and football clubs. WhoScored.com Ratings are based on a unique, comprehensive statistical algorithm, calculated live during the game. There are over 200 raw statistics included in the calculation of a player'’s/team’'s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game. Every event of importance is taken into account, with a positive or negative effect on ratings weighted in relation to its area on the pitch and its outcome. An example: An attempted dribble (event) in the opposition’s final third (area of pitch) that is successful (outcome) will have a positive effect on a player's rating. Ratings that are flashing show that an event influencing said rating has just occurred. Green indicates an increase, while red indicates a decrease in rating. The scoring system for the ratings is out of 10, starting from 6.0, with 10 being the highest score. The ratings are updated live every 30 seconds during the game. Our data providers Opta will update and adjust statistics where necessary 5 minutes after the final whistle. The statistics, and therefore ratings, are also subject to change at anytime after the game, due to any further corrections that need to be made to the statistics. A green star will be awarded to the man of the match 10 minutes after full time. A few minutes after full time our data provider will undergo a review process to improve the accuracy of the statistics, which may result in some stats being corrected/updated. Ratings are also subject to an increase or decrease based on the number of goals a team has scored or conceded, and whether the team has kept a clean sheet at 90 minutes. Such boosts in rating are affected by an individual's playing position and their time on the pitch and will be calculated at full time It's very hard for goalkeepers and defenders to get the best ratings and it seems that an average premiership player is obviously better than than championship players. Think I mentioned last season that Archer had kept three consecutive clean sheets but hadn't actually made a save, so despite the fact he had no chance to be involved in the match his rating was about 6.4 They are probably total bollocks but bar reading all the football club forums they will have to do. Think McBurnie last season and Macleod this season are the only 9+ ratings I have seen for Scotsmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
