GHfaeGTA Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Harry Souttar aged 20 playing every week, and apparently very well, at Fleetwood Town (on loan from Stoke) . Surely playing at higher level than many in this U21 squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 The u19s would give the u21s a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there actually seems like more talent in the u19s but then I've thought that before and by the time they get to 21s they all filter away. This 19s side have been together a good while now though and stuck together. I remember aitchison rudden and Middleton at u17s and doing well be interesting to see how far they go. A lot of performance school boys in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazmidd Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 For the u21s standouts would probably be Ross McCrorie, Lewis Ferguson, Mike Johnston and Fraser Hornby. Both keepers are good as well. Be good to see how Hastie, Turnbull etc perform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether the likes of Hamilton and Harry Souttar haven't been included because their club sides will have games. I know there are other players from clubs that will have games (QotS for example) but it might be viewed better for the players to keep playing at a fairly decent level.

Both squads look strong imo. Plenty of talent in the u21s with guys like Johnston, mccrorie, Hornby, Ferguson etc. Hopefully a few of them become world beaters to add to our already promising young team.

SkyBlueScot Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Interested to see how George Johnston progresses. There's an article on him on the LFC website: https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/academy/339868-neil-critchley-liverpool-u23s-everton-anfield which also mentions Tony Gallacher. I'd not seen him in the line up for a while and wondered what happened. If he plays then that makes 3 Scots in the U23 Merseyside derby. As others have said, there is a lot of talent in those 2 squads. Hope we can at least get a decent right back out of it! The Record was talking up Jordan Houston. What's he like?

Lairdyfaeinverclyde Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I watched the Morton v Falkirk game on Friday night and the boy Rudden looked decent. Think he has scored a few for Falkirk this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrniaboc Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 It's good to see how many of the U21 squad are already playing regular first team football. Hasn't always been the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's brutal, just no big names. Plenty of them playing every week and mostly Scottish based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time that i can ever recall Ayr Utd have had to get a game postponed due to having 3 players in the u21 squad. Morton also had McCrorie called up too albeit he isn't listed as a Morton player on the squad list for some reason. I watched the Morton v Ayr game (0-0) a few weeks ago and both keepers looked impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a potentially great starting eleven if you take the best from each squad. McCrorie Houston. McCrorie. Johnston. Church Ferguson. Gilmour Johnston. Henderson.

Rude Gullit Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 What's happened to Middleton at Rangers? He was a regular starter for most of the first half of the season - mainly while Kent was out - and he looked really promising. But now he isn't even in matchday squads?

Hertsscot Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 How's Harry Cochrane getting on this season? Iirc he was getting rave reviews last season but things have been quiet of late and I believe that he's had a few injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
