Scumjob Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I think the general posts some OK stuff but it needs toned down. I've certainly learned about a lot of potentially eligible players however if Steve Clarke followed his advice and called them all up we'd have a squad of about 50 players. If we ever decide to resurrect the B team then by all means put the general in charge or give him a job scouting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Context would be great in here Especially when I mentioned the defenders as back up to other alternatives like Constidine and Gallacher Seems I can't post anything in here because it seems that someone wants to judge what is a good post and what isn't Exactly why don't they just block me if I'm such a terrible poster? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith_94 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Never heard of the guy, but if Jacob Broon can successfully navigate the off/of conundrum he's alright in my book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm not back ups but better alternatives back up to who plays rather if any ever were lucky enough to get in Jack Elliott has pace is 6.6 six and 25 but aye let us play SPL jobbers ahead off him that will make sence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again if you read the answer to the guy,he was talking about back up to the squad to come in And that is what I am talking about as well,that we have some good options that haven't been capped that are doing well in a league better than ours Maybe if Aberdeen and St Johnstone played European football consistently got to the group stages the conversation would be different I love Scotland and Scottish football but I'm only being realistic And want our country to be moving forward together even if we don't make the world Cup Be in a stronger position to be at the next Euroes and players like Gallacher and Constidine aren't the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumjob Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Jack Elliot may be worth a look at some point though Clarke has actually benefited from the centre back position improving a fair bit in terms of depth compared to previous years. Hanley looks to have shed some of the bombscare tendencies whilst maintaining his monstrous physical gifts. Hendry is maturing into a genuinly decent centre back. Tierney and McTominay are strong options for the system. Cooper is a premier league centre back, that doesn't mean he's any good but we rarely see our central defenders get a gig at this level. McKenna is one of a clutch of players playing at a solid level in the Championship and has been in and around our squads for awhile. He's also in a similar mould to Hanley in terms of his strengths. The likes of Dom Hyam and Tom McIntyre are doing well at that level but need to do more if they're going to displace one of the above as Clarke rightly likes a settled squad. Equally there are centre backs our side of the border like Souttar and Porteous who are looking to prove they deserve inclusion. It's great for us that you no longer get in the squad just because your side is fourth in the championship, because you're 6 foot 6 or just because someone finds out you've a Scots nan. This is progress. Edited November 2, 2021 by Scumjob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McIntyre isn't playing after getting linked to Bayern Munich and a lot off times when he does he has coverted into a holding midfielder he singed a new deal at Reading So what your saying is Clarke doesn't pick the team on current form? Wait till it turns against us the same people will be shouting sack him cos he doesn't play form players Guy canny win sometimes your missing 6.6 with pace where as Gallacher is 6.5 or 6 with no pace there is a difference -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott has Scottish parents the same as Lyndon Dykes in my opinion that makes them as Scottish as any off us that were born here,get him involved in the nations league get him in the squad get a look at him in training 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher isn't even in the squad? I don't really know what you're suggesting, Clarke is picking a settled squad of players he trusts. None of whom have been so dreadful for us to be deserving of being binned off. We can see with the gradual introduction of Patterson over SOD that he will favour evolution of the side rather than revolution and he will identify where the side can be improved. What are you suggesting? Play musical chairs with every squad announcement calling up various players who you've decided are arbitrarily on form sometimes based on league position or their physical attributes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I aren't suggesting that at all just suggesting Gallacher and Constidine are good enough back up and aren't the future Constidine is 34 If your looking at a new younger left sided defender that can carry the ball out off defensive as cover it has to be Kal Naismith who is 29 he is performing to a much better standard As I said if Scottish teams were performing in Europe there might be cases for Porteous Souttar these younger alternatives but they aren't 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendy is playing with a champions league team because he has athletism and pace he can block and has perfect recovery time,very few defenders in our squad bar Hanley and Tierney can do this pace is everything We need more that can do this,aren't going to mention McSauce cos he should be in midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about pool off players Serbia aren't that much more more populated than us,they maybe are but only by a couple off million And there squad is much more bigger than ours why do people have such a fear off a bigger squad? We don't know how a player is going to turn out just look at Harry Souttar as a example who we mist out on he looks set to move to EPL And we mist McGeady and McCarthey as well,we should have a bigger squad And give us another year or two we will have a bigger squad We have some cracking talent coming through we should have no fear in throwing in Doig if needed Hickey if needed Ramsay if needed Potential caps for Gauld Henderson And that is just a few off the home grown ones It's not counting the shocks like getting guys like Brown in from down south Might be a few others flying under the radar that we can get that nobody knows about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
