Meanwhile we’ve got full-backs by the fcuking bucket load. Couple of friendlies - chance to take a look at Gauld? Nah! Fraser playing regularly for an in-form Newcastle team? Nah! Irritating. Given they’re friendlies I wouldn’t be surprised if Fraser indicated he couldn’t be arsed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did move over to right-back on Sunday towards the end of the game, having spent most of it on the left. Either way he can play right back and will be much more of a attacking threat in the final third as SOD -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Other than at strikers, there are least options if anyone drops out. Just the four left backs in the squad. We're clearly just the reverse of England. Could we swap Taylor for Alexander-Arnold since he can't get a game for the English? (Never mind Livramento!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper and Souttar are injured he hasn't a lot to pick from that are good enough and as a Grand Father he probably doesn't like guys who attack women so hopefully Porteous will never get capped again -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Given Patterson could play next to no games between now and the playoffs and O’Donell has been pretty bad domestically Im surprised he hasn't included another right back with the play-offs in mind given both could be well out of match practice or form. ETA - I am assuming Hickey is an option though there as there isn’t really much point calling him and Taylor up otherwise.

Shrug. It's not like Patterson was getting loads of gametime for his club previously and he still came in and did well, over the piece. Clarke even said himself that the friendly nature of the games makes a difference here- "Nathan Patterson got a fantastic move to Everton that hasn't quite worked out for him. It would have been difficult to pick Nathan for a competitive game being honest but going into a friendly situation it might be a chance for us to get minutes into Nathan's legs." With O'Donnell, Clarke does like to stand by his players from previous camps. We've seen it enough, so it isn't really a surprise. We've also seen O'Donnell produce the goods for Scotland despite poor to middling domestic form before. Be great if one of the available back-ups were playing week in week out, that might strengthen the case for one of SOD or Patterson to be left out, but I don't think any are. RB remains, if not a problem position, then a position of concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumjob Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 My word nothing like a squad announcement to squeeze so many absolute mares from the General into a short space. Squad is very much a Steve Clarke squad, no real surprises at all and little emotion generated for me but good to see Hickey involved and the continued slow inclusion of new players continuing, slowly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think an extra right back might be worth a sniff at. I have stuck up for O’Donnell on here but he just looks likes he’s not switched on of late for Motherwell. Still in covid times though so no point having a bigger squad than needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 If O'Donnell continues to play well for Scotland when called upon, as he absolutely did in the two qualifiers he played in September and November, then he could be scoring a hat-trick of own goals every week for Motherwell, it wouldn't matter a f**k. You don't drop players who are playing well for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not really any other player battering down the door for the position, though, so I suppose it becomes easier to overlook or do without in such circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Clarke getting these squads spot on, he picks the right moments to bring the younger ones in Like he has done with Hickey. Fraser seems to have had some sort of disagreement with Clarke and I would back the manager 100%. Nobody should pick and choose when they want to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice idea in theory but if the guys been playing out of sorts for months at not too high a level you can’t expect him to just turn it on against higher opposition. I appreciate teams like Northern Ireland used to do that with certain key players but he really isn’t that sort of player for us albeit he is underrated by many. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 O'Donnell has been shite all season for Motherwell but still turned in a superb performance against Denmark. He'll do it again if needed in June or beyond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
