I'm hoping neither Barnes or Anderson are in the announcement. Not because I don't want them included, but because the discussion on here and everywhere else was all about Anderson for days and days. Which ultimately was a waste of all our time, since he didn't even travel. The debates got rather tedious. I'd love a wee wildcard inclusion of Doak or Gauld, but I'd be pretty surprised if we see any shock callups.

Anders1997 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I can see Josh Doig being called up to replace Tierney. And Ben Doak could also receive a call up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed re they take over the chat but would be good if they'd do enough background work to help avoid that, include them in the squad if they're going to play, not interested in someone who can't make their mind up if they're Scottish or not... aye. Would LOVE to see Doak in there, this "he must progress through the stages" pish does my head in, he's clearly good enough to be there, just do it ffs. Having a 17yr old future star in the first team would provide SO much inspiration for kids, so many other countries do it so why not us. It's an issue with self belief IMO.

Personally, I predict the only changes from the last squad maybe being Greg Taylor in for Kieran Tierney and perhaps another central defender such as Liam Cooper or Dominic Hyatt in for Elliott Anderson.

And to be fair to him he hasn't let us down when called upon. Plus I am putting myself in Clarke's mindset here and think that is what he will do. Lets face it we need a left-back as back-up to Andy Robertson and Greg Taylor (now that Doig in in the U-21 squad) is the prime candidate.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Just now, ProudScot said: Clearly it should be Doig ahead of Taylor I agree but we do not pick the squads. A fair few fans were against Ryan Porteous call-up but that has worked in our favour. Point being that Clarke has made unpopular decisions with some fans - some work some maybe not.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) No major surprises. Tierney out Taylor in and Cooper returns as does Jacob Brown. At least the Elliott Anderson matter seems to have been put to bed. Edited October 4, 2023 by Caledonian Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few players I'd like to see in the near future, but totally understandable why Clarke doesn't see this window as the right time to throw them in. We're playing 2 of the highest ranked teams in the world. Not an ideal time to drop anyone new into the mix. If we do indeed qualify this window, then a few new faces next time would be great. Doak and Doig might make the next squad. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The thing is, even if we qualify during this double header, we cannot go tinkering with the side and risk a drop-off in results as it will affect our seeding and in return deal us a tougher draw.

ProudScot Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Good squad. Jacob Brown is garbage as is Greg Taylor. Apart from that it’s as you’d expect. Ryan Jack lucky to be in too you’d say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand there are few ideal camps to bring in young folk, if we were playing a lower ranked team instead of France I would be supportive of Doig and Doak. Only name I'm indifferent about is Jacob Brown, and Jacob if your reading it's not personal it's just you've been in what, 10 camps and I've never seen you beyond a few minutes nor does your domestic form excite me.

scotlad Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Greg Taylor is decent back-up. Nae point in bringing in Doig just to have him sat on the bench when he could be playing for the U21s. I'm slightly surprised to see Kevin Nisbet in there when he's injured though, and no Lawrence Shankland. Nisbet is the better player, IMO, but at least Shankland is fit to play (I think). Jacob Brown isnt someone I see the genius in, but at least he's clear in his commitment to the team, unlike certain others who have been called-up lately.

runningtings Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Surely Shankland is injured? Otherwise I can only think that Brown is more mobile than him hence his inclusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
