AndyDD Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I really think Hornby is more than worthy of a senior call up. I understand the idea of letting the under 21s keep him whilst they are in with a really good shout of qualification, and they play Thursday and then Monday (home to Lithuania and away to the Czechs) but come November if he continues to get game time and goals in Belgium, we surely can't ignore him. He's very exciting in prospect and i've been impressed every time i've seen him in the under21s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very exciting in prospect and i've been impressed every time i've seen him in the under21s. He's only just scored his first senior goals last week. He looks a decent talent but he's never done anything in senior football and good performances for the u21 mean very little when it comes to the senior team. If he scores a fair few in his loan spell then we should consider calling him up but until then he shouldn't be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we essentially agree, as per my second to last sentence- 'come November if he continues to get game time and goals in Belgium, we surely can't ignore him.

Haha nothing wrong with a bit of poaching! All strikers should have that instinct. Watched the game and even in the lead up to the first goal, before he received the ball back, his link up and hold up play was excellent.

Jim Beem Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Was down at the Newcastle match yesterday. Sorry to say, awful bit of play acting from McTominay. Threw himself to the ground when Andy Carroll ‘ caught’ him in the face. Embarrassing stuff. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he caught him but there was no reason to chuck himself onto the deck. You could hear the gears turning in his head after he was caught before deciding to go down like a cheap hoor. Really like the guy to so was surprised and disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing the Belgian league is of similar quality to the spl. The UEFA rankings have the Belgian League way, way above the SPL. Belgium is 8th in the country coefficient rnakings (just behind Portugal), we're 18th and they still have 4 of their 5 clubs still in European competition whilst we have 2 out of 4. Plus, they have 2 teams which actually qualified for the Champions League. No comparison really, it's a far better league so if Hornby us doing well there he should be in our thoughts.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 True that game time is what youngsters need but...... Talented youngsters may be at clubs where their development is stinted by lack of chances. That being the case surely it is worth giving them that game time for Scotland...bear with me here. Look at Darren Fletcher. As I recall it he was not getting any first team football for United but Vogts threw him in and his career blossomed from there. I am sure that could be the case for several youngsters we have now. After all in many areas we have exhausted a lot of the alternatives out there anyway in various areas of the pitch.

SWMM82 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hornby voted player of the month at Kortrijk.....he really should be in about the full squad in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
