Blantyre_Braveheart Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Leon King on the bench for the first time this season. GVB must like what he has seen. McCrorie, McLaughlin, Patterson, Jack, Kelly and Wright on the bench aswell. Even with our injury issues Gerrard always went with McClelland (who's chosen NI) or no young CB.

syecosse Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 A few of the fans also on there claim Turnball, Ralston and Johnston do not seem to have it when they are playing big games......I thought losing away 3-2 at Bayer wasn't a bad result.

slasher Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Yeah, as much as he's had a great season Ralston was howling defensively tonight. Turnbull was fine I thought but Mikey Johnston offers little at this level for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think johnston is struggling big time and probably won't make it at celtic or scotland. It's a shame because he is quite a skillful player with flair and tricks. We don't often produce many of those type of players. Hes injured too much and far too inconsistent and ineffective. Ralston has done very well domestically but hes maybe not good enough against teams of leverkusens quality. Either way it's unlikely he will be our first choice right back. He might turn into a decent back up option for Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if Johnston is fully match sharp yet. He was injured for a long time. He can’t just slot back in like a centre half would. Too early to judge him, for me. If he plays 20 in a row that will be the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Dominic hyam and Michael rose are two players that seem to have went under the radar on here. Coventry could potentially be playing epl next season and these two make regular starts for them, hyam more often than rose. Both still relatively young for centre backs and although we have seen an improvement in our centre back options they might develop into decent options in the future. Personally I don't know much about them but Coventry must be doing something right going by their league position. Also jack hendry started last night for club brugge in their 5 nil defeat to RB leipzig. Hopefully it's just a blip and he is good enough to make it at club brugge long term as hes come a long way since his torrid celtic spell.

I also think the tv/radio pundits lazily blame the same players for poor Man Utd performances. And McTominay is one of their go-to scapegoats (along with Fred, the 'McFred' jibe is a particular cheap shot). And some fans naturally take their lead. On the other hand, Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer have all publicly praised Scott McTominay. (Wouldn't be that suprised if the new manager Ralf Rangnick includes him in his plans. Fingers crossed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh i agree, needs to stay fit for a sustained period before judging him. Seems to be the chosen back up to Jota at Celtic so he should get minutes of the bench regularly, he needs to start using his chances productively which in turn might persuade management he deserves to start games.

Hopefully it's just a blip and he is good enough to make it at club brugge long term as hes come a long way since his torrid celtic spell. Just had a little read of their forum & they seem to play 3 at the back, it's the middle centre back McFadzean(also eligible) who seems to be highly thought of but he is 34 so beyond a call up. Hyam starts regularly & seems to be a strong defensively but very poor on the ball. Michael Rose who seems a good all round defender was linked with a big money move to Leeds due to his performances during Coventry's promotion winning season 2 years ago. Last season i think he got injured then couldn't get back in the team so didn't play much. This season it's only been the last month or so he has been a starter, so i guess he needs to stay in the team & really impress at that level for a sustained period then I would have thought Clarke will consider him. All based on fans opinions though as I've never watched Coventry play live since their days in the Premier league which much be 20 years ago.

borojock Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Tierney on the bench second game in a row which isnt good news, i thought the young Portuguese guy who replaced him looked hopeless against LIV so was expecting to see Tierney back in Fraser starting right wing back for Newcastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Robertson start, the Greek lad has been pretty impressive when he's played. They say its good to have completion for your place so maybe it will help Robertson kick on from what has been a poor start to the season for him. Maybe competition is good for Tierney too.

mccaughey85 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Watched 20mins of the Norwich v wolves game and Norwich have been brilliant. Passing and movement has been excellent. They look like they could stay up if they play like this for the rest of the season which would be great for Hanley and mclean. Gilmour will probably be off somewhere else regardless as of what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
