Watched him a couple of times and he looks good. Not sure he will make it past spl though. He's a skillful pacy winger with tricks, he's also pretty well built for a 19 year old.

Burj_Alba Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Dare I say, a good second half by Johnstone and Porteous at the back, actually looked assured as the Croats came forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a non-Dons fan, he’s very skilful and as strong as an ox. I think he used to be a centre toward but now comes off the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched whole of second half and I would agree with the players you mentioned. However defence was very composed. Porteous looks a player and McCrorie would be a better bet at right back than O’Donnell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Porteous would have been in the proper squad by now had it not been for his knee injuries last season. He's not even playing for Hibs yet this season.

We had no out and out wide men until Middleton and Mclennan came on. You are correct though it was 4 at the back, McCrorie played right back in a 4411 we were just so defensive our right mid played almost as a right back for most of the game. Fair play we got the result but if we carry on playing that style of football for another 30 years we will certainly lose more games than we win. We only looked a threat when Middleton and McClennan came on and started to resemble Scotland youth sides I have watched in recent times. Maybe we just need a bit more belief in our ability to adopt the style we are trying to implement on the youth sides. Pace, pressing, and freedom to go play. It was a breath of fresh air after a turgid 70 odd mind to see Middleton take players on with the ball down the left and cross for mclennan who fired in a cracking goal.

Aye, and he should have scored in the first place, but that goal does not come if not for his pressing the centre half and then running in on goal and getting his shot off. He was second favourite but he won the ball and drove at goal. His endeavour deserved the lucky break of the croat clearance coming back out to Mcrorie (and what a first time cross that is). Indeed, his pressure on the croat defender forces the guy to just scuff it away. He was a good figurehead all game I thought, big Hornby. Have enjoyed him every time i've seen him play for the under 21s. Hoping he gets some first team game time now wi his loan move. Excellent result last night. And tactical nous from the management team, bringing on two dangerous, pacey players late on having gotten through the rest of the game without falling too far behind. Ideal timing for them both to make an impact, and an impact they indeed did make. Much needed encouragement. Mcrorie hopefully isn't too far away from a senior call up. Was Gilmour injured, or just dropped? I see he was in the stands sitting wi that Malkay Mackay bigot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most think it is preparation for the first team but if the under 21s have a chance of finals tournament football then i would hope that the best team available is selected for the next matches. He can join the senior squad when the younger team have qualified. But wait, we have been here before, good away wins against top seeds ( 2-1 against Netherlands last time out ) followed by hopeless draws against teams we should / could beat.

Think he was disappointed he didn't score rather than sulked. Last minute of match, done the difficult part and made chance for himself but keeper brought off a decent save and thought chance had gone. I was disappointed for him. Still was running about after that and in fact had the ball in the corner at the final whistle. Don't think Hornby is a sulker BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney could shore up the midfield or possibly play left centre half. Both need to be in the team as they are both winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
