PASTA Mick Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Cairney is the obvious one that is missing. No Ritchie, Snodgrass or McTominay either. It looks weak upfront without Griffiths and Naismith. Edited November 6, 2018 by PASTA Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is that bad. There are worse players in the squad. Just now, Squirrelhumper said: I don't think he's any interest playing for us if there's a chance he may at some point be capped by England. Maybe you are right but I can't see him getting near their team. Southgate is looking at young talented players - not older players that have struggled to get in the Scotland squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Get us to the play offs and I won't care. Was hoping for Rhodes over Fletcher personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 10 minutes of long balls up to Fletcher, McBurnie and Paterson. Can. Not. Wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisEDI Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 phillips was always going to get back in after scoring one of the few goals we have scored under mcleish's reign of terror. Fletcher is a better player than roads and has top level football experience, he has to get a shout ahead of mcburnie who has looked out of this depth (but he is young), my main gripe is mcdonald still being in there, he is atrocious. if he starts again then mcleish should be booted immediately as he will have shown he is completely unable to learn a lesson  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningtings Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Snoddy not getting a pick is a strange one, always feel he has something to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's fair. He turned out half a dozen times for our under 21s and he always looked honoured. Plus he would've made his father proud playing for Scotland. Strachan is the main reason why Cairney wasn't picked for the full team, why he wasn't chosen is beyond me. The lad should have about 50/60 caps by now.

I watched Huddersfield v Fulham last night and I thought Cairney played quite well. I know we've injuries but this squad has the distinct air of B team about it.

Jacques Hunt Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Squirrelhumper said: Matt Phillips....fuck right off. Disagree, glad to see him back in. Strong, physical presence and can score or play wider if McGregor is deep. Would have called for Rhodes before Fletcher though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Did snodgrass ask not to be included?. He's the only omission I find strange 4 Aberdeen players and we've been playing shite too 😂😂 I'd like to see Christie get a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrniaboc Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It is bizarre to see Scotland give Mcdonald the nod and not Cairney, when it's the opposite at their club. I get that they do slightly different jobs but it's clear Cairney is the more talented player. I think our squad could really do with Snoddy around for morale if nothing else! Slightly surprised to not see another centre half in there to cover Mulgrew who's carrying an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must thank you for countering my argument with such a strong and cogent rebuttal. You've completely opened my eyes on the matter. I'm completely turned around thanks to the sheer strength of your case. It's nice to hear opinions of others, particularly when it's conveyed in such an articulate fashioned. If I may, I'm going to cut and paste your words of wisdom and use it as a piece of inspiration in my daily life. I think more people should do the same. Thank you.

You're spot-on with Cairney, the lad broke onto the scene when he 18/19 and the fact that we haven't build the team around him is strange. Agreed with Snodgrass and the lack of cover at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Steven Fletcher? We are sticking in some sort of time warp where time neither goes forward or back but stands still and laughs at us as we go round and round in circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Cooper has been immense for Leeds this season . I also think he would be better equipped for international football than Devlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
