ProudScot Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Norwich playing on sky sports 1 just now - Hanley starting & McLean on the bench. Don’t think McLean has played much since the last international break. Hanley starts every week but you’d feel more secure with Gallagher, Considine etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanley probably deserves a chance if we are short of centre backs as he might do ok under Clarke like those two have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came off the bench the other night and was credited with a scoring a goal but it was an OG in truth. Hanley has being getting a lot of criticism from the Norwich fans lately. Clarke's calling up of Considine, Porteous and Hanlon suggest that perhaps he doesn't rate Hanley.

The Norwich fans online are not at all impressed with him and many want him replaced. Ryan Porteous has had injury problems and sat out a number of games too in the last couple of years but Clarke still called him up to have a look. Hanley is well down the pecking order now that we have Scott McTominay, Kieran Tierney, Liam Cooper, Declan Gallagher, Andy Considine and Paul Hanlon all competing for places in the back three. Then there's also young central defenders like Ryan Porteous and Tom McIntyre to consider. I don't see a way back for Hanley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Norwich fans can gtf. There's too many players ahead of him in national team's "pecking order" who are in good form and have done absolutely nothing to deserve being dropped such as Andy Considine and Declan Gallagher. I also forgot Scott McKenna from my earlier list. It's going to be extremely difficult for Hanley to get back into the picture again.

Super_Scotlandfan Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 There’s no way I’d drop Dykes but he hasn’t scored a non penalty goal or assisted in a club game this season. A total of 9 games, 2 games for Livingston and 7 games for QPR. He has scored 2 club pens in each league. And has scored 2 and assisted one in our 5 games. That’s all that matters and we don’t have a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Scotlandfan Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Gauld scored a pen today in the top Portuguese league in a 1-1 draw. Seems to be doing well, despite his team playing poorly. Reckon he’s on the verge of a call up but Clarke will wait till next year unless there’s injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand ppls thinking with regards gauld. Hes playing for the bottom team in Portugal and he's scored 1 pen. There would have to be injuries to several of our midfielders and wingers for him to be due a call up. I could understand if he was a stand out for decent team in Portugal but he's playing for the equivalent of St Johnstone in Portugal.

I could understand if he was a stand out for decent team in Portugal but he's playing for the equivalent of St Johnstone in Portugal. Similar to Shankland I guess. Excelled in lower division and is now playing for a team that could get relegated. Didn’t stop him being called up. Gauld has done more at Scottish Premiership level though. No.10 is a position we need a bit of depth in too. Fraser was playing out of position there (although obviously did well), and we didn’t have any obvious options on the bench as Christie was pulled out.

I think you have nailed it there.Our resident Motherwell fan thinks Gallagher is poor , Considine hasn't overnight become international class and McKenna's return to form has coincided with Aberdeen playing back three. Don't know if he is looking great for Forrest or not although they haven't been letting many goals since his arrival The formation is designed to suit defenders, they each have a smaller % of the park to defend so there job must be easier.
