Squad for Moldova/Denmark

[Scumjob]

Thing is gen the 6 centre back options in the original squad are Hanley, Hendry, Cooper, Tierney, McTominay and McKenna. NOT Considine or Gallagher who you keep mentioning.

And you're advocating Kal Naismith, Dominic Hyam and Elliot Philadelphia in their stead. Come on son.

It looks to me like you're getting a raging, kilt lifting erection over anybody in the abroad league pal.

Unlike anybody else in here I've gave good enough reasons why Naismith should be looked at,the guy in the MLS won't come over if he isn't going to play 

So there is room to look at another defender cos Hanley is out why not take a wee look at Naismith in the squad 

Especially when he plays in a 352 and is playing out his skin just now?

Saying players like Henderson and Hickey should be there is more logical cos there better players its as simple as that,wee Hickey is two footed can play right back and is better than SOD

Simarly as Liam Henderson is better than Lewis Ferguson but Clarke doesn't want to up set the balance and plays the ones he trusts who in turn play for him 

But if we don't reach the world cup then maybe there is justification to mix the squad up a bit,maybe look at Gauld as well

It's not, trust me.

[RandomGuy.]

Why are people even debating the mention of a 29yo winger as a CB option as if its not just one of the most blatant troll attempts going?

Honestly just weird.

[craigkillie]

He's played almost exclusively as a centre-back for the last year or so in fairness. He's still not good enough though.

No there isn’t. The World Cup is a incredibly difficult competition to qualify for for a country like us. This has been our best qualifying campaign in over 20 years so there is no reason at all to mix things up.

Just cos I don't think any outfield St Johnstone players are good enough for Scotland,you call me troll

So your happy with keeping guys like SOD in the squad when Hickey could potentially be playing with AC Milan in January 

And even if he is still at Bolonga is playing in a much superior league as is Henderson at Empoli 

We have better players not getting selected who should be,and better cover than the cover we have now especially at CB

We are talking about as cover not to go straight into the team as first pick

Naismith is as strong a contender as Gallacher Bates Constidine Hanlon Findlay Porteous Souttar,in that regard 

And will continue to preform consistently for Luton Town in the championship

Hickey is playing at left back so yes I’m quite happy with SOD in the squad as he is probably our best defensive option at right wing back. Patterson better going forward. Hopefully Patterson keeps getting better and better and makes the position his own.

Calling up a couple of championship jobber defenders as cover isn’t going to help us qualify for major tournaments so it seems a bit pointless calling them up.

You seem to have a bit of an obsession for what leagues people are playing in. To a certain extent you are right but just because Henderson is playing in Serie A doesn’t mean he’s good enough to be getting in the Scotland squad.

McSauce is playing CM for Man Utd but gets played CB for Scotland,so aren't quite sure that you have a argument there and Naismith can play left back left sided CB wide right left wing or up front,he is very versatile

Difference is guys like SOD and Watt and guys like that aren't good enough for the English championship and getting touted for Scotland and are expected to come in and do well its ridiculous 

Nisbet is good enough to play in that league though because Birmingham City tried to buy him

McTominney playing at CB works though as he can take the ball out of defence and act as an extra midfielder when we have the ball. Also just because it works for one player it doesn’t mean we should start chucking as many players as we can in the wrong position and hope it works. Naismith should be nowhere near the Scotland squad. He is 29, not getting any better and isn’t as good as any of our starting centre backs.

What has Watt got to do with what I said? He shouldn’t be getting in Scotland squads either. It doesn’t really matter if SOD isn’t good enough for the English Championship. Right now he is in the top 2 Scottish right wing backs so he quite rightly gets called up. Is he an international quality wing back? No but until someone better who is playing in that position comes along there is no need to change things just for the sake of it.

Clarke said he wanted all his players to be playing European football and then picks SOD over Ralston 

Watt is a Scottish International playing with Motherwell like SOD is

Do you not think both would like to tripple there money at somewhere like Blackburn or Middlesbrough or somewhere 

And why is nobody down there giving them there shot?

It's because they aren't good enough and yet you slag guys like Naisnith and Hyam who are good enough

Naismith does that as well for Luton they play the exact same system as we do

Naismith is probably the most comfortable defender in the championship on the ball

So why wouldn't it work with him?See all you want to do is argue and defy logic.Just cos you want to join in with the other negative posters 

Use your own loaf man

That’s because Ralston is fucking pish.

Watt playing 12 mins in a friendly 5 years ago doesn’t make him a current Scotland international.

What on Earth has what money these players would like got to do with anything?

Probably because they aren’t good enough for the English championship, as I already said.

I’ll have to repeat myself apparently. SOD is in the top 2 Scottish RWBs right now so he gets called up. Hyam and Naismith are not in the top 5 or 6 Scottish CBs so don’t get called up. Very simple stuff.

So you think we should call Naismith up instead of McTomminey? Wild.
