Don't know if he's injured or something? Yup, now I’ve looked I see Lewis has been out for a while with a hip injury. Hopefully back in time for the finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many would we have got if Gauld, Morgan & Doak been in the squad, that's the real question! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Part of the reason we took so long to break down Cyprus last time was due to having a stodgy and static midfield. We will have Gilmour instead of Jack which will give us much more thrust and dynamism. We're murdering this lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I would start Patterson over Hickey vs Cyprus. We were sluggish against them at home and we need some players who can beat a man in there. As much as I like the idea of a Gilmour, McGregor, McTominay and McGinn midfield quartet, I think Christie or a second striker would be a better bet attacking wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 It seems absolutely mental to me that we have a midfielder who is tearing up Serie A and has just scored against Juventus, yet he might not start or even feature. That's not me having a go at Clarke. Just crazy to think how different this group is to previous. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also points to our depth in certain positions, similarly full back and even approaching that at center half too. If we could just find another top class keeper and a goal machine upfront I'd be quietly confident of impressing at the euros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker fair enough, but goalkeeper? Of course, Craig Gordon, Andy Goram and Jim Leighton couldn't be considered top class........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have one centre back playing at a good team? Its an area where we're hoping people come through as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a really good defensive record and half a dozen players who regularly do well when called upon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he and the likes of Porteous and Henry turn up they're a well oiled machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to say we're stacked at centre back like we are at full back and centre midfield unfortunately just isn't true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying that we are but given the fact we’ve got six or so good options with little drop off in quality then we do have good depth there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
