Caledonian Craig Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 There are some deluded souls here. Adams has represented England, has been asked three times to represent us by three different people and has said no. What more evidence do you need that he is not interested. In any case why should he be interested? He evidently feels 100% English and has lived and played in England all of his life. I commend him for his loyalty to his country which is England. End of.

On Saturday David Bates's Cercle Brugge came up against Jack Hendy's KV Oostende in the Belgium Pro League. Both started, only one ended the match. Bates got two yellow cards. KV Oostende won 1-0. Bates was VERY unlucky with the second yellow card. In fact, I would say he was cheated. But I've heard that Hendry was good again. He has a really good chance of getting into the squad in March. Not sure if it was mentioned earlier, but 18-year old Elliot Anderson was on the bench for Newcastle recently. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/introducing-elliot-anderson/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Celtic will take Hendry back in January after their comedy show defensively in the first half of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the terms of the loan are but I'm pretty sure there is an option to buy. I personally can't see him back at Celtic Park but I'd be happy for him to come back and prove a few people wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he bounces back. I agree about Hendry. If he has developed in Belgium he'd be a very useful player to have. Hopefully he's like his father and matures well.

Guest Scot1 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Mikey Johnston got on for the last 5 minutes on Sunday and Turnbull is beginning to make an impact too. We seem to have some very good, young attacking midfielders who hopefully will be in contention for squad places come the Summer.

Potentially a lot of things coming together at exactly the right time with a major tournament just months away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with a good draw in the World Cup group, I’m sure a lot of players are realising there’s an opportunity for them to push into the squad for the Euros, but more probably the World Cup qualifiers if they perform.

Guest Scot1 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Interesting to see John McGinn playing in a less advanced role with Villa again tonight. Perhaps that’s where his future lies with Scotland? I still think our centre midfield is a weak point in terms of aggression, tackling, winning the ball back. Perhaps switching Mcgregor and McGinn around in positions would solve this. Edited December 17, 2020 by Scot1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Jack? I suppose depending on the opposition will influence team selection. But against better teams, perhaps McGinn and Jack with McGregor/Christie/Armstrong/Turnbull ahead of them.

Midfield is a hard pick, alot of talent. I would be happy with Mcginn Jack Christie/armstrong Its a bit early for Turnbull but he could be an option for the future.

We have a lot of talent in most of the midfield roles, a bit sparse in the defensive/holding role. In the not too distant future you could go for a midfield 3 of Gilmour McGinn McTominey McGinn as the holding mid Edited December 17, 2020 by Scot1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
