I would have naismith ahead of Griffiths. With one man up top we need more than just a finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, Griffiths is a hell of a lot more than just a finisher. His link up play, passing and set piece delivery are all big assets to us. Secondly, we most certainly do need a finisher, more than anything. Our midfield is bursting at the seams with quality. All we need is a man at the top to finish. So, even if that was all Griffiths was good at (it's not) then it would still be worth playing him ahead of everyone else. No disrespect to Naismith, I think his movement is phenomenal, and if Griff isn't available then I'd choose him next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Surely a call up for Brophy ? At least he's scoring some goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Tony Watt will get more caps at some stage. I’m prepared for the slating I may get for thinking that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards Watt, he's twenty six now and maybe, just maybe, it's suddenly hit him that he's wasted so much valuable time when he could have been right at the top. This is his last chance to achieve anything. I hope that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with either griffiths or naismith up top, but we need more than just a brophy or stewart. What is stewart even good at? Baffled by his inclusion.

Our 3 main strikers should be Griffiths, Naismith and McBurnie. Do we really need more than them in a typical squad? Especially since we'll be playing 1 up top and have many attacking mids that could easily play up front in an emergency e.g Christie or Burke. I'd have suggested Shankland if he had been smart and left Dundee Utd in the Winter window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p gala ta Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Dykes has to be a better shout up front than McBurnie who has done nothing for us and is totally one footed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz7 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Lyndon Dykes defo should be in. brophy not up to it but may in future. griffiths relying on past glories at this time. defense is scaring me but i feel it will be hanley and cooper. i see gallagher every week at motherwell and feel he could maybe play right back in a 4 as he has played on the right of our 3 man defense on a few occassions. Im not saying he could but hed be as gd as odonnell anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4Footsoldier Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 To be fair I think McBurnie is actually beyond rotten at this point. Dykes looks a real physical threat and danger to defenders. But I've accepted my opinion on football players is null and void versus the professional gaffers nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if anyone has seen McBurnie being worth of a call up, nevermind a start, nevermind a 20mil transfer fee. I understand with Dykes we were seeing who he was going to play for internationally, and I feel we'd be taking him much more seriously if he wasn't playing for Livingston is all. I wouldn't have either of them starting for us in any circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to be loyal to a club and see them promoted is not a foolish decision, He is getting call ups so its not hurting his international career currently. Maybe the money will come in the summer and he will be off, but if not he will be in Scotland's top flight so that's another level to test himself.

But on a serious note, you've got to think that Niemi must be on the verge of his first call-up now considering our goalkeeper situation.

Tartan Chris Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Been impressed with Scott Fraser at Burton this season. Good number of goals and assists for them in league one. Can't remember how rated he was at Dundee United. Well down the pecking order currently but wonder if he could be the next Fleck and move up the leagues if he gets picked up by someone decent in the championship? Still 24 so has time on his side.

If Siriki isn’t eligible for England but Karamoko is then it’s quite ironic because their accents suggest the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
