thesaint Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 2 hours ago, Texas Pete said: McLean always turns up (unless genuinely injured) when he knows he likely won’t start and has never let us down when he has started or come on as a sub (as far as I remember anyway). I do see ProudScot’s point in that he likely wouldn’t have featured much in our games in June but a few injuries in midfield and he may well be missed. Think Kenny McLean would have had more of a chance to come on at some point in these games than one or two others in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csinclair Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Also, I’m not Hanley’s biggest fan but this Norwich defence look very shaky without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he carries on like this, he looks a ready made replacement for Kenny McLean or Ryan Jack. Playing further forward today but good defensive midfielders are very hard to find, to be honest at 20 he could easily end up on a bigger teams bench next season. Don't think I've ever jumped on the "do what Wales do" bandwagon, but maybe this is the time. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice settled squad that only changes when someone comes along that is clearly better than what we have. One at a time guys get phased out, but remain available if we have injuries or whatever. Jack will likely retire either after qualifying for Germany (if we fail) or after the tournament if we go. Hackney is in prime position for his spot at the moment but I would say is unlikely to take it before then unless he moves to and establishes himself at a decent EPL club. Getting promoted and playing the EPL (well) will also possibly see a route to the squad but I don’t think that’s an automatic qualifying criteria for us any longer.

mccaughey85 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I think hayden hackney will need to be in future squads sooner rather than later. Anybody watched him much? what kind of player is he? Is he amazing and can he jump up to epl level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be more than capable of playing that role in the championship. In other news Norwich got destroyed last night. No Kenny McLean in front of the defence made a big difference.

Caledonian Craig Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Another impressive performance by Super John McGinn today. Had a hand in two of the three goals, was industrious putting himself about and had a decent curling effort just wide in the second half.

I wouldn’t say he’s a defensive midfielder. He’s a playmaker with long and short passes. Not really a physical, all action type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandScot Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 With Armstrong, Jack, McLean all 31 and likely to be phased out soon, is Mark O'Hara worthy of a call-up? OK he is already 27, but a physical presence with good engine and goal threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syecosse Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Ben House scored again today 4 in the last 3 for Lincoln, 13 in league 1 not the greatest scoring record, but loved by the Lincoln fans and being tracked by a lot of Championship sides, Lincoln fans cannot see them keeping him.

borojock Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I dont quite understand some of the negativity Jacob Brown seems to get from a few on this board He's playing regular football which many of our players arent He's playing at a decent level Playing at a decent club Scoring decent amount of goals Has showed commitment to the team by regularly turning up even when not getting any mins I do wonder those that are having a pop at him how many mins of actual football have you seen him play, are you making an informed opinion on him based on actually watching him or just making lazy assumptions Not saying the guy should be a starter for us but suggesting some of the comments on him are unfairly founded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
