But no way would I bring him into the Euros starting line up. If McTominay does move to midfield, then it'd have to be Gallagher, Cooper or Hanley in the defensive gap. I know that means a bit of rearrangement of the three in terms of left/right footedness plus ability to bring the ball forward etc, but I'd prefer that than putting Hendry in when it looks like he's only just getting his confidence back. All that said, SC being SC will probably just calmly continue to play McTominay in defence. The reason I went for those three is because it gives us genuine pace right across the back and players comfortable in playing it out or taking it up the park. Defensively I’m not sure there’s much in it between those, Cooper, Hanley and Gallagher. Hendry could come into the squad for the WC qualifiers and take it from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have against Declan Gallagher and why does playing for a mid-table Belgian side mean you should jump about 6 players in the International duty queue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinabear Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I see strength in almost every position in that scottish side now. I don't think we've been able to properly play our strongest 11 yet. Mctominay has to play in midfield perhaps alongside Jack and mcginn, although Armstrong and mcgregor would be similar. And Cooper needs to be starting centre half. As much as gallagher played well when he came in Cooper is playing 2-3 levels above him every week. My only worry is right wing back. A toss up between o'donnell and palmer isn't great. Perhaps Tierney can be persuaded 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but goalkeeper is going to be a problem for us. Marshall 35, McLaughlin 33, Gordon 38. It's a fair amount of shite left after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On loan at Stoke I think just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular problem with Gallagher. He can defend his box but not much else. I rated Hendry before he went to Belgium, at least in terms of his potential.. He’s now rated as one of the best in the league and I’m pleased but not surprised. We all know Hendry’s team would destroy Gallagher’s team. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think you’re right but footballers are mercenary b*****ds and he’s already 25 so give it a couple of years and the penny might drop that England have a lot of keepers to choose from and he’s probably never going to get a game for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you read specifically to make you think he doesn't feel "the least bit scottish"? I find that hard to believe, considering his dad's Scottish and played for Scotland. He more likely thought he could play at and go further in major tournaments with England. Hes quite far out of England reckoning at the moment. We should be asking him again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said things may change and I could be wrong but he's not arsed about playing for us by all accounts so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron2000 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Why does McKenna get an automatic start? He’s been exposed as average in the English Championship and was very overrated at Aberdeen - let’s face it out with Rangers and Celtic the standard the Scottish Prem Is no higher than mid league 1 in England - that’s generous based on the the standard of player you cannot deny it.Tom McIntyre, Hanley and Cooper are all performing comfortably better and are all superior on the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Has McKenna been "exposed"? The last I heard, the Forest fans quite liked him. Nobody has been suggesting he gets an automatic start anyway, he's behind the three starters and Cooper in the pecking order.McIntyre has only started 7 games this season, hopefully he's starting to nail down his place, but you can hardly put Reading's success down to him at the moment, in the same way Forest's position has little to do with McKenna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
