Sherps Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 A good decision. He absolutely bossed the midfield against ROI at Celtic Park, so should be given a chance to do the same against England, alongside Brown. Strachan won't play him, though.

andyD Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Kingsley at left back for me. Brown and Mulgrew in the middle of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeLuvIrnBru Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Mulgrew is not playing at all well for Blackburn in his limited appearances for them. He is as slow as a week in the jail. he should not be near the squad on current form Playing him at left back would be suicidal against the pace England have down the flanks. A huge no for me.

I cant see him playing left back, though with Strachan anything is possible. Just wonder if there is a thought to putting him a midfield holding role with Brown, like the ROI game from 2 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been Strachan's downfall that he does not select on form, and indeed selects players that don't play or play well . Loyalty is all well and good....but not at international level and not blindly picking players through faith alone. If a player is not playing or playing well he should not be in the squad.

He's lot long back from injury, but they seem to see him as a nailed on starter, so i'm surprised to hear his form is that bad. Especially given his assist against Villa at the weekend.

Parklife Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 An absolutely farcical call up but one that's completely unsurprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianp Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 This call up is another "old pals" selection by Gordon. It is obvious that others should be selected before Mulgrew e.g. Shinnie. The call up will be our assistant manager if a forward drops out. I fear for our team on Friday night, hope I'm well off the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree with you at all. Just confirming to me even more that nothing will change on Friday, part of me is/was hoping that Strachan would have one last go at it but probably fully expecting the same lethargic performance as Slovakia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I like Shinnie but not at left back. I haven't seen much of Kingsley as I don't watch the EPL much. Is he really a much better option than Wallace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Shambolic decision. These old pals acts justify my decision not to go. Is it wrong to want a defeat so the decision for him to go is surely taken out of his hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully understand the frustration with WGS and we all have our opinion, whether or not In Gord We Trust but IMHO we need to leave this aside for a few days and do what we used to always do - especially for this game- go to Wembley and unite in our support for the team, get right behind them and let everybody know who we are and let them hear us for 90 minutes and more. Whilst respecting the host country and its people and customs of course!! Just go and support the team properly and hope for the best and hopefully our GS will be happier than theirs at the end of the game. Massive game.
