PHATBOY_AK47 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Don't understand why he persits with people who are under performing. Ross McCormack is a striker on fire for the last few years and most times he is overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Playing devil's advocate, should Morrison be included given he's suspended for Poland, or could we have used the squad place for another player? I don't think there's a limit to the size of the squad? In the hope that the Gibraltar game will still be relevant we will need our best XI available for that game, which should include Morrison...

kmcca5 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What has Dorrans done not to get in the squad? 6 games + so far for EPL team doing well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarky1606 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What has Dorrans done not to get in the squad? 6 games + so far for EPL team doing well? ... thats Strachan for you! Last season Arfield was playing EPL every week but Strachan was picking Bannan, Anya, Maloney who were not. Strachan doesnt pay much attention to what league your playing in. He seems to pick his squads based on if the players' style of play fits his philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Can you imagine the debates if the TAMB was around back when Scots players made up about 20% of the English top flight? 100 pager for every game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that it takes more than playing 6 times in the EPL to get in the Scotland squad. You've seen EPL games before, right'?

LewisEDI Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 As discussed on here before, Dorrans is most likely one of the players strachan said he wont call up if there is not much chance of them getting a game so they can spend time with their family.

Do we have some new bizarre selection criteria that is "play 6 games for a team better than Aberdeen"? Otherwise we'd have shite players like James Forrest getting called up. Oh, wait... You're not Gordon Strachan, are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was trying to make was WGS has included McDonald who has no international experience nor has he played at the top level yet Dorrans who has played from the start in 6 of Norwich's games this season in the EPL (Including the 1-1 draw awy to Liverpool is left out. I can't understand why a player playing at the top level is left out when one playing at a lower level is included. I include Forrest in my bewilderment also!

Zander_14 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Not particularly a fan of Forrest but for a young player who has had a lot of injury problems I think he gets some unfair criticism at times. He's a young player with potential. I can guarantee you he doesn’t – he is absolutely honking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braveheart_lynch Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I can guarantee you he doesn’t – he is absolutely honking I just think we might be too quick to write him off. I wouldn't start him v Poland either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er yir macaroon Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I believe Forrest may come good. He doesn't seem currently able to be use his pace and remain in control of the ball. I saw enough in the u21s to know this wasn't always the case. It may be it will take another 6 months or so to get his co-ordination back after being out for so long. Glass half full and all that.

TartanDave Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I like forrest but wouldn't start him V poland. Kinda wanted Ryan Fraser to get a call up, think an on form winger is a necessity in a team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanSpice Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Did the Supporters Club send out an announcement email about the squad this time? Just wondering if they didn't bother this time or whether I didn't receive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
