braveheart_lynch Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You could argue uncapped 22 year old Tony Watt deserves more of a chance to prove himself for Scotland than 29 year old Ross McCormack with 11 caps and previous call ups.

Third Lanark Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Yes, but Mccormack is more of a flank player than an out and out centre forward like Watt; could you play him in the Fletcher role? Or as a number 10? Edited March 13, 2016 by Third Lanark sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Aside from the fact that he's completely ignored the best player in Scotland outside Griffiths, and a consistent and acknowledged goalscorer in McCormack....why in God's name should we keep a 'first 15' that are proven failures ?    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what everyone was after?  He sees them at training and clearly our mid-20s second choice of last term still aren't as good as the previous first choice failures. Time to try a new lot of back up to see if they can oust the first choice. Btw Shinnie is neat and tidy and a good player but he's never going to dominate an opponent or control a game. I'm excited to see what Watt, Burke and Tierney can do. They've all got the potential to get significantly better. Everyone knows damn fine what Shinnie can do. McCormack's a good player but where would he play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 If everyone knows what Shinnie can do, then why are Whittaker, Robertson and Mulgrew called up as potential left backs ahead of him, and why are Bannan, Fletcher, Brown and Bridcutt called up ahead of him as midfielders? Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Shinnie's performed consistently well for a few season's now, that means he's not good enough for Scotland, yet a few untried kids who have played a handful of games are ? Utterly bizarre.

MikeyGC Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Steven Naismith & Steven Whittaker have withdrawn from the squad due to injuries, Ross McCormack & Paul Caddis have been called up to the Czech Republic squad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girvanTA Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Mccormack deserves to be there, Caddis has done well at Birmingham, I was kind of suprised that Caddis and McCormack were not named in the original squad  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Always been a bit surprised that we have never actually seen anything of Caddis during Strachans time as boss. At his first Q&A at Hampden after his appointment he must have name dropped Caddis at least half a dozen times in 2 hours (recall he mentioned something about his ex-Coventry and Celtic assistant manager being at Birmingham and telling Strachan that he needs to take a look) and do not think he was even in that squad at the time (think he has had only 1 call up?)

Naismith we know what he can do so it's good McCormack is in also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Im glad McCormack is there but not sure about Caddis - he looks solid enough in Championship surely Shinnie or Bardsley better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geed Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Glad McCormack is in the squad deserves it, should be a regular starter for us, scores some cracking goals and his crossing of the ball is brilliant, would start him in prague now Naismith is out.

I was just highlighting that Strachan was havering pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazziessc Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Lets see if he starts him and contradicts himself further. Hopefully Caddis gets a chance too, still feel Shinnie should have been the one drafted in, doesn’t say much if he’s not even back-up to Whittiker never mind ahead of him!
