scot scotland scottish Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37493139 How many more chances Lee Wallace get?..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Pretty much as expected. Still no McCormack or Shinnie. Says he doesnt pick certain players as they are too similar and then goes and puts three LBs in the squad. Sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Players that missed out: Mulgrew, McDonald, Phillips, McCormack, Watt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandydon Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The three left backs baffles me. It's not as if any of them can cover at centre half or elsewhere? I guess two out of the three could play on the left side of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Wallace ? McGinn ? MacKay ? Forrest ? Strachan is still a feckin idiot. Edited September 28, 2016 by Rossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace can play centre half in an emergency. Tierney first choice left back for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I can't see how you need a 3rd choice left back as cover at centre half at this level? Just pick another centre half (which admittedly isn't a position we are particularly blessed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the princesses in our team cant handle that they must win then they are in the wrong business. 13 minutes ago, er yir macaroon said: Maybe Robertson is ear marked for left midfield.

Even Forrest and Burke playing 'inverted' McKay is left sided as well I think? Wallace as CB cover? Haha. 4 in the squad already anyway. Agree with Tierney. I dont think the starting 11 is really in doubt. Its just the options and backup's that he has are a bit batshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs aren't even the best team in the second tier of Scotland FFS - its a poor level to play at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryWood34 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Very pleased with the squad. Delighted to see that Maloney has been re-called - He scores and creates goals and has a wealth of experience. In relation to Hamilton - I don't get it. I watch him every week and he is way behind Fox and Bain in my opinion - Not a big deal as he won't start in a million years. Watt isn't good enough so pleased he hasn't been called up. Does a lot of trying and running for Hearts but he very rarely has an end product so far. He is good enough for Hearts, not yet up to Scotland standard. Fully expect to see Souttar called up when he is fit again - A great prospect for our weakest position.

Slovakia away could mean a more defensive approach with Robertson in left midfield. I'm not saying it'll happen but I think it will have been considered. Pretty sure he's played in a back 5 for Hull, which is not too dissimilar . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radian Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The Shinnie brigade, watching the game against Rangers quite clear he isn't good enough for Scotland. Might gave played well against smaller teams but bug games a chance to impress away at Celtic and the Rangers game never played well.
