er yir macaroon Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Harsh on Gauld. I’d question the inclusion of Greg Taylor. I suppose I’d take Forrest in the hope he gets fit even though he’s been diabolical since coming back from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's brilliant, but he has been playing the last wee while for his club, has pace and could be an option off the bench if we need to change things with his direct running and speed. If it were a 23 man then he'd not get in, but for me, we badly lack pace amongst the squad for wide positions and it would be good to have the option to go wide should we need to. Christie has pace, but he tends to cut in. Bit out there, I appreciate, and I don't expect Phillips will get back in, but hey ho. We only play with one anyway, so Fraser and Forrest are enough to support our striker. We’ve got pace on the left wing back position and right if Patterson plays.

I was counting hendry still as Celtic , Taylor is questionable, Forrest I get why included but probably finding his way back to fitness but just walks in.

DING Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 7 CBs if you include mctominay and tierney ....way too many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Fair enough but 6/26 is still hardly loaded. Clarke wouldn’t be naming a squad today if it wasn’t for Forrest and he is now back playing for Celtic so there is no way he’d be left out and rightly so.

McTom will likely play in midfield. So we have 5 CB's plus Tierney. He's left out Considine who could play either CB or left back and Palmer who could cover at right centre back.

Tierney, mcginn and Mctominay are brilliant. Gilour has the potential to pass them all. Turnbull and Patterson called up Considine as much as I want to see him.there isn't going because we've got much better CBs now. We've got better options upfront with Dykes and Adams All positives I'm encouraged by this squad, there are players I'd like to see in and out but there will never be a squad to make everyone happy.

weekevie04 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Reasonably pleased with that. Dissapointed no Gauld, but happy he's gone with Paterson, Turnbull and Gilmour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only player who has missed out that most of us would like to have seen selected is Gauld. Clarke obviously feels the players he has selected for that position are better than Gauld which is fair enough. He’s the guy that’s paid to make these decisions.
