Guest ElChris04 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I wanted to ask the question now giving the games are pretty much pre match play off games and who you would like to see implemented in the team by Clarke. Here’s the following players i would call up with plenty of new faces and notable admissions. Keepers : McLaughlin,Gordon,Bain Defence : Robertson,Tierney, Porteous, Soutter,McKenna,Findlay,Hickey Midfielders : McGinn,McTominay, McGregor,Christie,Armstrong,Henderson Wingers: Forrest,Fraser,Johnston,Hastie Forwards: Griffiths,Shankland,Hornby New Call ups : Porteous - Hibs ( outstanding performances for the U21’s and a breath of fresh air for hibs ) Hickey - Hearts ( gonna be a top top player. Outstanding performances at his age warrants a call up to play RB/RWB for us. Henderson - Verona - Playing at the highest level in Italy and the type of character we need in the team that can be relied apon if needed Johnston - Celtic - before injury he was flourishing, hopefully when He makes his comeback he’ll be back to his high potential self Hastie - Rotherham Probably the out of the blue inclusion, but when you see his form with Rotherham you’ll know why, been on fire for them and with another with high potential and on form i would call him in. Hornby - Kortrijk Showing his class with the U21’s and in Belgium. He’d get the call up for me. a lot of notable admissions, mainly McBurnie,Fleck,Jack. McBurnie doesn’t need much explanation, a Complete waster who shouldn’t be near the team. Fleck is a box to box player. We have Christie,Armstrong, McGregor,McGinn. who are all Far better. And for me is a waste of a call up. Jack is probably the most debatable, i would like to be proved wrong but I don’t feel his heart is in playing for Scotland, some would say the boos he received in that friendly against the Dutch in 2017 has knocked the passion out of him. I would like to be proved wrong like I said and he does get called up but personally i would rather hand Henderson who’s playing in Italy to play a deeper role. Again if he does get called up I wouldn’t have much problem and he does indeed make the step up and show his passion. feel free to comment your own 23 man team if it’s different To mine or what you think of mine and if you agree or not. I feel it’s a topic that’s worth discussing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviebee Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Good chance even we'd win with 23 players on the park! Not much to disagree with in your post though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrniaboc Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Solid selection. I'd probably call up Liam Kelly rather than one of the other keepers now he's starting for QPR. Jack is definitely worth calling up. McBurnie might be the worst, but so are our striking options... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hickey was poor as well. A bit early for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers were shite without him at the weekend. Hickey was poor as well. A bit early for him. It is harsh on Jack tbh, but i would rather test out Henderson first. Although like I said if he is called up again I’ll have no problem with it onto Hickey, probably his first game he’s put a foot wrong since he burst onto the scene. His ability is there for everyone to see, double footed, technically gifted on the ball for a winger, we are in no position to be turning down a good right back let alone a 17 year old versatile one who has the ability to become world class, some may disagree but Hickey would start both games at RWB for me in a 5-4-1 formation, or if Clarke sticks to a 4 at the back I would start him at RB with Porteous and Tierney as our CB’s.

He has made two saves already tonight though. I know it's only stats but Craig MacGillivray seems to be playing very well over the last few games and with McLaughlin suddenly not getting a game for Sunderland it's probably reached the point he is worth keeping an eye on.

Problem is he's not played very well in the games I have watched for club and country. I would much rather play Griffith's when hes back or even shankland.

'the slagging of Scotland' was clearly a bit of banter, no matter how pish that banter was. He's had a handful of Scotland appearances, where he's had zero service.

Yeh I ain't basing my analysis on just the senior Scotland games. He was diabolical any time I watched him for the u21s and for Swansea in the epl. Granted he was chasing lost causes for a Swansea team who were destined for relegation so I will give him a pass on that. He's generally been really poor anytime I have watched him. He's looked uninterested and could barely control a ball. I am honestly gobsmacked that Sheffield United spent nearly 20m on him. I am willing to persevere a bit with him because he did score quite a few in the championship and we have little else upfront but as soon as Griffith's is fit he should be second or third choice. I would like to see us try and get karlan grant as he looks like a good striker and will probably be playing epl next season. I genuinely have no beef with mcburnie regarding the comments about Scotland as I am unsure as what was being said and in what context it was said, plus he's always turned up for both youth and senior squads. My main problem is he just genuinely isn't good enough for international football and we really can't afford to rely on him as our first choice striker if we want to qualify for tournaments in the future. I would much prefer Griffith's or karlan grant if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazmidd Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I would be loathe to call up to many u21 players whilst they are in such a great position to qualify for the euros in god knows how long and Clarkes point about allowing that team to grow is a good one. In saying that there are a couple of glaring positions needing filled in the seniors and there is undoubted quality in the u21s. Snodgrass retiring opens the door for Mikey Johnston if he can get fit before Cyprus. Ryan Porteous is better already than Gallagher, Findlay and Devlin with the potential to play at a much higher level. We don't have a right back and Ross McCrorie has just played his finest game yet there for Portsmouth tonight whilst also playing very well there for the u21s. Then there is also Fraser Hornby who is playing very well for his club right now in Belgium. These are probably the 4 at this moment in time I would consider promoting, all talented players and all playing positions in which the senior team needs filled.
