marinello Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just looking at the Portugal programme from just over 1 month ago. Amazing that out of the 21 players listed a total of 10 are unavailable this time around. This figure does not include Griffiths, Jack , Devlin or Ritchie!!!! Either Mc Leish is incredibly unlucky or perhaps his players are at odds with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The sheer number dos suggest it's more than just a bit of bad luck. We don't know till we know, obviously. But if there was a movement against McLeish, then probably best to do it now, rather than in the middle of the qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Something is either wrong with the manager/backroom staff or the training methods are not working and are resulting in high levels of injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not all dropping out once they get here tho. We lost what.. 4? before they even left their clubs. That's what leaves me thinking it's more to do with McLeish.

The fact several players have asked simply not to be picked speaks volumes - especially players like Snodgrass and McArthur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there's been a falling out with Griffiths, as has been suggested, seemingly he was singled out for the defeat against Belgium which seems bizarre. And if Snoddy was talked into having injections only to not be used.. then i can totally understand where they players are coming from. Moral disappears thru the floor when you can't trust the manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Is it just McLeish though? I'm sure we've had this discussion plenty of times about other managers and how many of the squad have pulled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
