Quentin Taranbino

His hold up play and link up play was excellent tonight with his back towards goal. Really really impressive performance

This is my thought too. We get five subs ,(I think) and if we are getting humped 3-0 at half time you can bet all those yellow card players are coming off. We want to avoid the worst case scenario of being unseeded as well as losing a bunch of players to suspension

AC Milan Interested in Hickey

Steve Clarke was at the Fulham vs West Brom game today. I know they are one of his former clubs but a weird choice this close to a game unless he was watching Matt Phillips and/or Karlan Grant (both who started)

Sirike Dembele is another championship striker that is probably worth a look at

I had forgotten about Johnny Russell as an option. Wouldn't be against him getting a call up. Experienced player who is on form. Never was or will be much more than a squad player for Scotland but occasions like the Malta game are when squad needs to be utilised and think it would be a safe call up

Touched upon on Moldova thread but assuming we may see a new name to the squad for the game given Dykes and Christie out. There is a good chance he calls up nobody of course and he hopes he can get through that game with Adams, Fraser, Nisbet and McGinn as forward options and this wouldn't surprise me. However, lets say he decides to call up another striker, where does he go? Does he go with someone who has been in and around the squad before - McBurnie, Burke, Paterson, Shankland etc Does he go with someone scoring goals in League One - Ross Stewart, Ryan Hardie Does he go for one of the under 21 strikers - Glenn Middleton, Dapo Mebude I would say out of that lot, my gut is telling me Clarke won't call anyone new up unless there is another injury. If there has to be a call up I think Ross Stewart might be the most likely name.

Agreed. The improvement he has made even of the course of the last six months to a year is incredible.

I think so, AL Thats right, AL He's a real talent, AL AL AL AL AL AL AL

Has been called up by Sierra Leone

One to watch in League 1 is Lewis Fiorini at Lincoln (on loan from Man City). He was with NEC in Holland last season and did very well and has started well this season. Think he has 3 goals in 4 games now. More of a forward than an out and out striker. Loves a goal from edge of box and far out. Has a fantastic strike on him, would suit the role of playing off a main striker as he plays centrally. Not ready for a call up to main squad yet obviously but out of all our youth prospects, he has improved dramatically with his experience in the last 18 months. His next loan move likely be a top tier championship or lower PL team. If he keeps up his form, he won't be far away from a call up come end of season.

Maybe he means Nico Clouston or Ian MacKay who are both at Deportivo, but they aren't La Liga anymore

He is on the bench for Man City in Champions League tonight

Not a bad shout at all . Well played

Scotland Under 21 keeper Cieran Slicker probably going to be on bench for Man City today. Likely to be a one off though, they have couple keepers out

Tierney, Hanley and Hendry. Thats the back three. Just a shame Hanley now out of the Israel game

Guaranteed sending offs in this game. It's entertaining as f**k.

Watching Scotland play in a game at this pace is frightening

Steven Caulker signs for Fenerbache

There once was a poster called Bing, Who liked to speak from his ring. He was a shite forum poster and also a roaster Will soon be with Gauld in Burger King

Weird behaviour to go searching to bump a duplicate thread

You know this isn't the actual line up right?

One for The Phoenix to answer I think regarding Bikey. As an aside, I really miss player interviews on the website and really think they would be great on SATV. I suspect its all down to whether Ben and the team have the time but I often feel like I know less about the players themselves than in years gone by despite their being far more platforms and technology to do it nowadays. Like a proper 10 - 15 minute interview with each player maybe spread out across the season would be great. A bit of backstory, get a bit of their personality and stuff. I loved the videos when they were doing a crossbar challenge for example....its those sort of videos that showcase the human sides of the players. An important aspect especially in covid times.

Buzzing we signed Laird. How was he for you guys last season, I know he is kicking on a bit but from everything I saw of him last couple of seasons, looks like he is still very capable.

Very happy with both bits of business there. Laird very experienced and Bikey fit and healthy should be excellent. Can't be many more signings, maybe a couple on loans but squad filling up now. Promotion is ours
