broraboy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It will be interesting to see who the Midfield / Forward(s) will be in a Months time? McGregor Armstrong Fleck playing well McTomminay on his way back, is it too late for McGinn? S.Naismith getting a run of games & Griffiths now back playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfingers Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Its good options. If any of Mcginn, Mctominay, McGregor, Christie, Armstrong, fleck, forrest, Griffiths and Naismith are in the team I don't think anyone will be complaining too much.

You cant complain too much. Hes easily been our best striker recently. I doubt he will lead the line, as griffiths is likely a better candidate, but if he does I'm sure he will do a good job - as he always has.

He was our best Striker before Griffiths became available and before McBurnie stepped up his game. I would be pretty disappointed If he was seen as first choice after a couple of displays against third class opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Naismith has done more over his career than any of the other two will ever achieve, so that counts for something too...along with his displays against shitey teams....like Israel. Anyway I'm not arguing for him to start but folk are being drama queens if they are greeting because mcburney (who will never perform for scotland and is brain dead at best) or Griffiths (who is just back from fuck knows what) don't start. It really won't make much of a difference either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBurnie’s career is still on the up, and doesn’t have very much further to ascend to be fairly comparable to Naismith’s. Also, we are picking a team for a playoff in March 2020, it’s got nothing to do with players’ whole careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you are demanding respect for a guy that couldn't be a worse role model if he tried is bizarre. While then tying to say he's almost on a career par with naismith is spark out mental. One player has 50 caps and 10 international goals, is a leader on the park, a passionate scot and an ambassador off the field. The other has 9 caps, 0 international goals, a drink driving charge and is quoted as saying that he hates playing for Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have an obsession with Oli McBurnie, but I’d love to see our players treated fairly and with a bit of respect. I totally agree, drink-driving is appalling, almost unforgivable behaviour. I don’t think that it makes sense to compare career statistics of a 23(?)-year-old to a 33(?)-year-old though. That’s not a fair comparison. Obviously that’s not what the team gets picked on either, otherwise the older players would have a huge advantage! 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.

ParisInAKilt Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Could do worse than just play the same team that won the last 2 games and add McTominay if he remains fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazmidd Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I just don't see how McGregor can get the nod ahead of Fleck after last night's performance. Those are the games you want to see him stand up and take the game by the scruff of the neck but he just floated around the periphery. Fleck is doing everything McGregor is doing at a much higher level, he deserves to start the play off games and going by McTominay’s return last night he should be beside him.

It amazes me the amount of folk that can't actually see, or understand, this. International fitba teams should be selected on current form at the highest possible level... Fleck beats Mcgregor comfortably on both counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Marshall Palmer Cooper mckenna robertson Forrest mctominay fleck fraser Armstrong/christie Griffiths That would be my team for the play offs. Maybe replace Marshall with Kelly or someone else as I don't think Marshall has been playing much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
