Realistically a squad player in a top 4 PL team will always make our squad, even though he has played less recently it seems. In his primary position he has been sitting around 3rd or 4th choice at best for a midfield slot. More likely to play as a playmaking defender when playing weaker teams, but less likely to start in defence against teams where we will be under more pressure, which I think is fair enough. This. With our midfield options, he's certainly someone we'll have in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Ferguson decent in central midfield away at Torino. Hickey currently playing at right back for Brentford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csinclair Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 In the youth levels tonight, Doak played for Liverpool U23s and Rory Wilson played and Scored for Aston Villa U23s who had Kerr Smith on the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Hickey was flawless tonight. He also appears to be much more comfortable using his right foot. It was never a weak point but if you didnt know better you would have thought he was right footed tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfingers Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Looks like Jack Hendry injured too. Worrying prospect of who will play CB’s in the qualifiers.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be hard to ignore Hyam at this point with Cooper, McKenna, Hendry all injured and Souttar only just being eased back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes already missed a fair few squads over the years and he adds another dimension to our team when he plays. Its typical of our luck that half our squad is either injured or not playing regulary.

mccaughey85 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 It will be a serious knock to our chances of getting a result against spain if hes not playing. Cyprus we should be able to beat without him but getting a draw or even a win v spain will require our best players putting in a big performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDB46 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) My major concern is a lot of our players are just not playing club football at the moment. Should get away with it against Cyprus , but Wouk’s fear the worst against Spain Edited March 10, 2023 by DAVIDB46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the form of the majority of our players, I think our best realistic hope for the next round of games would be 3pts against Cyprus without any bombscare in the process and putting in a good performance (but not necesarilly result) against Spain without getting absolutely molested in the scoreline. Anything extra would be a bonus. Following that, reset for the June games which will be of greater importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyprus have given us problems. Lucky to beat them away last time. We really can't afford a poor start in this group. Too many times we have started poorly in the group and after three games or so are starting that if Cyprus can take a point in Norway or Georgia can draw against Spain carry on. We must come out flying and look to win both home games. If we can go to Norway with at least 4 points it makes a big big difference than going into that game with only say 1 point. Let's keep it in our own hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aye, it's a tough group we've got this time and we can't afford to drop points against teams we're expected to beat, especially at home. Three points against Cyprus and hopefully a point against Spain (or at the very least a good performance) are what we should be realistically aiming for.
