TartanDave Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thought Paterson might get a call up to first team squad this time round but other than that no real shocks as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipped flake Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thought Paterson might get a call up to first team squad this time round but other than that no real shocks as far as I can see. agree that Paterson should be in the main squad, been on fire this season so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisEDI Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 craig sibbald should be in that squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 My heart sank when Sbragia was appointed so predictably no Jack Harper even though he is now based in Britain. However, not a bad squad actually. Still a bit short at centre forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, not a bad squad actually. Still a bit short at centre forward. Jack Harper is out with a knee injury. I read a report from 4 weeks ago, saying he is expected to be fit in around 6 weeks.

kmcca5 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 No Tony Watt and no Blair Spittal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisEDI Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 No Tony Watt and no Blair Spittal watt might be too old, 22 in december. spittal i didnt know anything about till i watched the dundee derby, so don't know how consistent he has been. the squad was probably decided outwith call offs by then anyway.

wanderer Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 watt might be too old, 22 in december Think rules are if you were 21 the year qualification for a tournament started then you can still play (sure been a number of players over the years who have played for the U21's at 22 years old.... sure Maloney fell into this case) but might be a cut off date which Watt falls outside of. Probably best to build for the future than to rely on someone who has been with previous squads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Why is Henly unattached? Was released by Reading end of last season, and spent most of the summer on trial at Ross County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spittal's worth a place. He's better than Charlie Telfer at the moment for a start. 20 games last season, ever-present this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norsefox Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 First time in a while I've looked at an u21 team and really thought it looked decent. The majority are getting first team game time and only one falls out of a big club (Fleetwood). Will definitely get to a few games this qualifying campaign.

Bzzzz Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Bit disappointed Callum Paterson didn't make the full squad. No Jamie Walker... maybe time for his call up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Looking at that squad, if the team was to be based on the full team pattern of 4-2-3-1 who would the 2 sitting midfielders be? Soutar maybe for one? I would think Nicholson Gauld and King just behind the striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzed Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 For this campaign, all players must be born in 1994 and later which excludes Watt, Walker and a few others. The next campaign in 2 years time will be 1996 births onward and so forth. The under 19s tournaments are annual and this year qualifying players must be born in 1997 or later. Hope that clarifies that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a flexible definition of "big club" if ICT and Hibs qualify! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You've got a flexible definition of "big club" if ICT and Hibs qualify! For players of this age the club isn't massively important. Christie was the sports writer's young player of the year and there was pretty much no chance he wouldn't be in that squad. Him and Gauld playing together in attacking midfield will be some talent.

norsefox Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Fleetwood have some serious money backing them..... they built a £3m stand when they were still in the conference.

norsefox Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You've got a flexible definition of "big club" if ICT and Hibs qualify! Have you looked at where our players have been registered in the past?! Obviously it's relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Whilst that may be true. Playing every week against League One opposition... League one is so-so...... you have good clubs like Coventry, Sheffield United, Millwall, Wigan etc.... then you have a lot of middle of the road clubs (Barnsley, Crewe, Oldham etc...) and the rest being dross. Callum McFazdzean is in the same league.... and would say League 1 in England is better than the Scottish Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
