1320Lichtie Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 This is (finally) a totally reasonable point, and one I agree with. The Qatar game was a total waste of time for a number of reasons, but that should have been a younger squad at team. That I don't have a problem with, because I'd still expect a team of Scottish 'potential' team to scud them. But Scotland teams barely ever have a chance to play together, they get what, 6 games a year maybe? That's the reason why the first team always plays together, to build an understanding. These friendlies also count towards rankings and then in turn pots. If they slipped up it could be bad. It's up to players to develop and get games at CLUB level not International level. International football is not about blooding youngsters in any way whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitnail Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Or we just stick with the same team as this campaign and then have the same discussion in two years time about players that are two years older. Who knows. If we blood young guys they might not get scudded all over the place, they might just over perform. Or. We could stick with Maloney, Whittaker, Hutton, Mulgrew, Brown, Morrison, Fletcher (D and S) etc etc etc. I'm not for a minute suggesting that these guys have let the jersey down time and again but they have proven themselves incapable of getting us to a major finals and sitting about with our thumb up our arse hoping everyone else gets worse isn't really a forward thinking solution. We've not qualified for a tournament for 18 (maybe going to be 20 years) so the same approach is clearly not working. Try sonething different. If we don't qualify then what's the difference from before. If we lose ranking points then yeah we might go backwards but we need to aspire to something better than glorious failure. So....select worse players and see how it goes? Scotland football fans really are the absolute worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going down to 40 rankings anyway. Problem being we are heading for another voglts revolution. Strachan isn't remotely interested in finding younger players, if he stays it's same again , they fail again and we then have a dads army side that is too old. The next manager then has to throw in players who long should have been capped and we probably then get poor results again. This could easily write off 2016, 2018 and 2020 tournaments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When players are past it, they will be shown the door. That is fact. New players will then come in who are not past it, they may be 20 or they may be 30 but they'll be the next best player in the position that's needing filled. Really simple stuff.
