Maybe replace Marshall with Kelly or someone else as I don't think Marshall has been playing much. Marshall has been a regular for Wigan recently. Check their lineups. Have a look what the QPR fans are saying about Kelly. Very nervy it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think keep Armstrong where he is then play Christie is place of fraser. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no need to call me a ‘walloper.’ I don’t see where the aggression has come from? I wasn’t comparing career statistics, as obviously Naismith has around a 5-year advantage on Griffiths, and a 10-year advantage on McBurnie iterms of age. You said that Griffiths and McBurnie would NEVER achieve what Naismith has, and I pointed out that McBurnie was already playing at around the highest level that Naismith reached in his career, (top half of the English Premiership.) Comparing career statistics would be silly due to the age gaps, and pointless as international selection is made based on current/recent performances, rather than a career as a whole. I'll let you ponder over the irony. I'm glad you agree it's ridiculous to compare the careers of somebody like naismith and all he has achieved vs nobodies like mcburney. It certainly sounded like you were trying to do that when you said - 'McBurnie’s career is still on the up, and doesn’t have very much further to ascend to be fairly comparable to Naismith’s. He is nowhere near being comparable, as we've now agreed. And I'm sure we can also all agree, as scotland supporters, that the highest level these players can perform at is at international level...not Sheffield Utd for fuck sake. International selection is based on form - but it's also based on experience, character, leadership and intelligence. Attributes that mcburney is significantly lacking and i'm sure will rightfully play a part in Clarke's selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be an excellent signing for someone like Bournemouth etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyb Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 After watching Norwich last night and Leeds a few times recently it is evident that our 2 best CBS, by an absolute mile are Hanley and Cooper.

We need to try to get a settled back four and then build momentum. If we can manage to get through it will mean more to players and stop the persistent call offs that other nations don’t seem to have.

So you are happy to keep our back four that didn't even keep a clean sheet in our last two games against, lets just say average teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souttar wouldn’t have started against Israel and I’m not sure if McKenna would have either. I just hope we don’t get any other injuries in that position or we could be in big trouble.

Apologies, so you are not saying that we should continue with the current back four but build a new one then stick to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
