I could kind of understand if there was a friendly involved I would have gone for a squad of GK - Gordon, Marshall, Archer DF - Tierney, Robertson, Mulgrew, Martin, Berra, Hanley, Bardsley, Anya MF - Fletcher, McDonald, Brown, Morrison, McArthur, Armstrong, Burke, Naismith, Ritchie, Snodgrass St - Fletcher, Griffiths, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 4 keepers I am finding really odd (as you said, its more a squad if you have a 2nd low key friendly attached on to the main match, than just for 1 match).... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman4 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Surprised at the number in the squad, considering there is a good chance it will be the same team that started v Slovenia. 4 goalkeepers, strange. Defence fairly bang on. 4 full back 4 centre half's. Message to Grant Hanley to get his club situation sorted. Forwards as well. 13 midfielders for what will be 5 positions.

borojock Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 big exclusions for me are below, not saying surprising or wrong decision Hanley - Not enough first team playing this season must get a transfer away and be playing first team football, you may dislike him but best CB under 30 we have Ritchie - Surprised at this, decent retention and goal threat scored a decent amount in championship this season from midfield. Not sure if injured Burke - Not enough game time but his speed is key and could easily run with the below to take pressure off the defence in this game and good height for set pieces Rhodes - Barely plays for Sheff Weds I bet they are regretting buying him for the amount they are set to pay.

Don't forget the World Cup in Brazil. We were there too. That's South America, that's a whole different continent! ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just don't like hitting penalties. At the end of the day I'd rather have someone who was confident taking it over someone who isn't too sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never noticed you left out a no before Reynolds' name but added it in for Shinnie and Burke. I didn't really expect Shinnie or McGregor to be in this squad tbh.

vanderark14 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 4 goalkeepers one of them is Hamilton Reynolds John MCginn - has he been released from Shinnie's back pocket after the semi final yet? No Shinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalgety Bay TA Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I am assuming its 29 players initially as he is expecting a few call offs therefore trying to preempt players heading off on the piss to Marbs in the next week or two. No idea why Ritchie isn't there, he played for Newcastle up to the end of the season. Murphy seems a like for like replacement but Ritchie probably had the better season. I thought McGregor would have been in, has had a good end to the season and, like Armstrong, has picked up a few goals from midfield, always good when you have a forward line like ours. Snodgrass hasn't kicked a ball since leaving Hull. Glad to see Ryan Fraser in again, I would start him. He has finished the season well, unlike Snodgrass.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Rockefeller Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The continued inclusion of James Forrest never ceases to baffle me. I really don't see what he offers, guy's never done anything in a Scotland shirt (albeit he was okay against Slovenia). Even more baffling when it's at the expense of Matt Ritchie and Oliver Burke who are both capable of producing something out of nothing.
