PASTA Mick Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 We will qualify if we beat Croatia and Greece beat Czech Rep (they play the day after we play Croatia). I think two draws would be enough too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burj_Alba Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Both McCrories and Porteous back to under 21s. That might change if there are injuries in the senior squad. who will be the third goalie in senior squad? Bain, now that he has got a game under his belt?

Burj_Alba Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 BTW good looking squad, would be brilliant if we qualified. Finals in Hungary and Slovakia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Robbie McCrorie will be in the senior squad when it's announced. Felt a bit sorry for Porteous last time, kicking his heels on the bench for the senior team.

It should be someone who is playing regularly like Zander Clark or Craig MacGillivray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I’m worried about the goalie position in the medium term. Who is coming through to replace Marshall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn't seem to be alot of young goalies coming through. Marshall is only 35 so he should be around for maybe 4 more years. We could do with Mccrorie or Kelly progressing to Marshalls level in the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't object to Gordon being called up as third choice. That said in his final season at Celtic and in his final couple of Scotland caps he looked a sad shadow of the truly great keeper he once was. 4 minutes ago, mccaughey85 said: There doesn't seem to be alot of young goalies coming through.

Fully fit but no football at all for QPR this season as far as I can see. The QPR fans on their forums remarked that he looked really nervous and made a number of poor decisions when he had a run of games for them last year.

Probably one of the strongest u21s squads we've seen in a while. You could make an argument for 8 or 9 of those players being involved with the senior squad in the next 12 months. Normally I'd expect 2 or 3 at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Echoing what many have said, but what a very decent squad that is. Strength all over. Campbell, Ferguson, Hornby, Ashby, Porteous, Turnbull, McCrorie will all surely be pushing for for the A squad in the next 18 months. A few others too Paterson, Magennis, Kennedy and Hickey are fantastic talents coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's a decent squad but there doesn't seem to be many outstanding talents that are u22 atm apart from Gilmour and maybe Turnbull. Compare that with 4 years ago when there was 6 or 7 guys that were clearly going to be epl level and were mostly fast tracked to the main squad. Guys like burke, Mcginn, mctominay, fraser robertson, Tierney were too good for the u21s and pretty much bypassed it. Saying that there is some good players in there that have lots of first team experience who might develop into top players. Hickey and ferguson look to be ones who can play at a high level in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTominay also didn’t play any age group football for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres some decent players in our youth squads but who do you see as genuine epl quality in those squads? Turnbull and Gilmour is the only ones I can defo say will play at a high level and even those two have a long way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that he is joining up and wants to be part of the squad but Lampard would go ballistic if he played in either match and got injured again. More likely he will join the squad for training. Could be a big player in the finals if we get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
