As has been said on here a few times already, a team is about the sum of its parts rather than individuals. McGregor, Gilmour and McGinn is our strongest midfield unit and it won't be broken up just to fit a form player in and Clarke won't change the formation either. we will see. Jack and Mctominay are playing better than mcgregor and gilmour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for Scotland they aren't , just think we have a midfield that really compliments each other,and when they play together again they will feel comfortable and positive because ot the way they bonded before.Don't get me wrong,i like both Jack and McTominay but think it would be crazy to change what looks like a really good combination.

thelonehutch Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I really don't get the desperate desire from some on here to change the midfield🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The only reason to change the midfield would be if the formation changed to back four or a lone striker. No need to do either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syecosse Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Most Newcastle fans are saying he looks a different player since Bruce went and that Bruce sucked the life out of him, a lot now calling him there favourite player which is a big turnaround, maybe this can also be a good thing for us.

He was one of the best players in the league when he was playing under Howe at one point a few years ago. Good to see Howe's bringing out the best in Fraser again.

I'm really hoping he'll be in a much better frame of mind now, and he'll make the effort to mend any broken bridges there may well be betwen him and Steve Clarke. (No guarantee he'll get his place back in the squad, but playing well will certainly help his cause?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syecosse Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Talking about Newcastle Not sure much has been said but apparently Elliot Anderson has been pretty amazing while on loan at Brostol City since joining on loan from Neecastle, Apparently Eddie Howe was not happy about the level of football he was loaned at.

Shame as his stats in his games were impressive. Pretty sure he would be one of the first names in the squad if starting for an SPL team He's been terrible for QPR last two games, gifted goals in both. I get the dislike for Gunn but ultimately past this campaign and keeper becomes a big issue again just when other areas are coming along very nicely. Gordon will surely retire at conclusion of this campaign and Marshall simply isn't good enough anymore. In any case I think selection debate is a bit moot now as looks pretty certain the games will be postponed until June which I think is correct call.

Yeah it's a bit of a surprise they loaned him to league 2 with Bristol Rovers. He's atleast top end league 1 level at this age. Maybe even championship.

(No guarantee he'll get his place back in the squad, but playing well will certainly help his cause?) I've said it before and will say it again, an on-form (and present) Ryan Fraser should be one of the first names on the team sheet. He is one of those special players that can create something out of nothing. It was good to hear Clarke saying he chooses players 90% on ability, and only 10% on personality. Which makes me think he'll forgive Fraser and move on. Eddie Howe clearly has. We don't have a big enough pool to be exiling players. I really don't want a repeat of the Steven Fletcher or Barry Ferguson feuds with managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
