Blantyre_Braveheart Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Are we seriously only playing one game again next month? That is utterly bizarre that we aren't even setting up friendlies to give these lads gametime together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine it’s hard to convince countries to travel or vice versa for friendlies with the quarantine rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blantyre_Braveheart Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Most other countries seems fine to get friendlies. Even arranging them with the home nations would be fine or arranging a friendly against a lower league side just to get these lads time on the pitch together. Hell why not throw together a Scotland B team and play them. We just seem very poorly run from u21 level down. I'm sure the u19s didn't even have a get together let alone a game for well over a year. All the other homenations had get togethers or friendlies in that period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syecosse Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Would have been interesting to see who made the u19s apparently no Dire Mebude who has been excellent for Man city youngsters, also wonder how far off things Dickson Peters is of Norwich 4 goals 3 assists in 4 games of the prem 2 for Norwich.

They were very good against Turkey away. The Danish team have had some excellent results this year though. Tough one and a good test against top quality opposition.

Blantyre_Braveheart Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 See when you look at Kelly's passing and technical ability you have to actually wonder why Gerrard isn't giving him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering that myself. Kelly has probably been Scotland's best player so far, and I have been quite impressed with Burroughs too. Slicker doesn't look like the goalkeeping superstar we've been crying out for though. We've played okay, I think, but the Danes have created the better chances.

We've played okay, I think, but the Danes have created the better chances. Technically we have some good players but it's the tactics that are the problem. We have guys who can play out and play wonderful passes but Gemmell wants them to play extremely direct. With Slicker he has just turned 19 and it shows. He's made some decent saves but is still very much a youth keeper. He will learn from that mistake and his nervy moments. He has shown enough for me to see his potential but I don't see him making it near a Scotland squad for quite a few years. While still quite Raw I've liked the look of Ashby at times. He's got a lot to work on especially in defence but he looks like he has a big chance of making it. We could have a very good crop of RBs in 2/3 years.

I think you could tell Slicker has never played any senior football (only Man city & Scotland youth sides) and he could probably do with a loan move to get some experience.

Slicker has time on side, definitely, although Craig Gordon was Hearts' first choice goalie by the time he wasn't much older and David Marshall had played in the Champions League for Celtic. To be fair to him though he did better in the second half. 10 minutes ago, noctonjock said: No out and out striker . Struggling up top like the mens team Jack Stretton is an out and out striker. Gemmill didn't play him though. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry george Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I thought we were very poor with only Ashby and Kelly getting pass marks. Watching the U21's has been a painful experience these past few years. Gemmill's tactics seem to be simply "give me a shift and, if you get the ball, panic!" Dreadful stuff to watch.😌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudScot Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 The sad thing is when Gemmill eventually gets canned he will be replaced by one of the dinosaur brigade out of the Billy Stark mould. Possibly even by Billy Stark himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
