AMMjag Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 With some of the names being touted to replace our creaking has beens in goals, the time has surely come to forge some kind of documentation declaring Tam Cerny's availability.

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We have so many players selected in last squad not getting game time or injured will be interesting to see what the stubborn wee shite selects. His back is against the wall result wise so picking in form players playing regular is the way to go, the fact he already does not do that is probably the reason his results have been shite All the above is correct, however strachan allows his favourites to see playing for Scotland as a chance to build up fitness get some game time etc. Just like a pre season really, this is a huge factor in why we are so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head and shoulders above the lot. Husnae played for the Czech's yet... In all seriousness I'd give Liam Lindsay a look. He's not international class, certainly, but we should really be trying new things in that position given how dreadful our "best" options are. The chance of him blootering one in from a corner outweighs any negatives obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The friendly will be used for those not getting much time at club level i.e. most of them to build up match fitness.So most of the many time failures will play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Jamie Murphy likely to be playing in the Premier next year. Good to see him doing well at Brighton. Wouldn't mind seeing him called up for a friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Strachan to beg Sam Gallagher to join next Scotland squad: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/gordon-strachan Good player, but not sure about this one tbh. Fact he's explicitly turned his back on Scotland tarnishes the whole prospect. ETA: didn't realise his dad was Glaswegian - thought the link was more tenuous than that.

I was gutted when Gallagher and Matt Targett changed to play for England as thought they had great potential. I was in two minds as well however l think if he wants to play he should be in the squad as he's the kind of player we need. We really need as many good forwards coming through as possible and with Gallagher Burke McBurnie Atchison all 21 or under I feel confident a couple will come through to be good international players. Ps where have all the Jordan Rhodes fans gone who think he will revolutionise our front line ? 1 goal in 6 games and a number of poor performances!!!

skippy2015 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Let's be honest our forward situation is dire just now. Martin now on bench, Griffiths on bench, McCormack on bench Rhodes of form, Naismith on bench most weeks, Burke good but not played much as central striker and on bench, Fletcher on bench, watt in league one and on the bench....... no wonder strachan looking at other options.

I'm a Rhodes fan but there's not been much to shout about really. Quiet start at Wednesday (and they play 442, though seemingly a very cautious version of it with little in the way of crosses etc).You're right about our striking options - all hugely underwhelming. Perhaps a false 9 would be best. And as fir a more conventional 9 like Gallagher or Miller - can't really argue with trying these options. We're desperate.

skippy2015 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think our midfield is going to be good for the next 5 years. Full backs pretty good to we just need x 2 centre backs and a good striker and I think we would have a good team in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other countries like France Brazil Germany Netherlands and Portugal take advantage of this all the time so no reason we shouldn't. As long as he is 100 per cent committed I don't have a problem with it. Remember he's only 21 to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So say karamoka dembele becomes world class decides he wants to play for Scotland you would say no as he represented Scotland then england them scotland again? Who cares what under 21 teams these guys play for you can change your mind up to the point you play a full competitive international game and numerous countries take advantage of this. As long as he's fully committed what's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy2015 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Why would someone who plys his trade in the lower reaches of the championship be good enough for international football though He's 21 has potential to play at Premiership level if he improves. The championship is also unfortunately a higher standard than the SPL at the moment so if we are excluding championship players we may as well exclude everyone that plays in Scotland to........ come to think of it we may struggle to get a squad if that was the case lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
