Mox Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I noticed recently that Gauld has forced his way into the Vitoria Setubal team in the last 6 weeks or so and has done very well by all accounts. This does present Strachan with a very good opportunity to get rid of some of the deadwood and start blooding some young guys who are playing at a pretty decent level, whether he does that or not though is highly doubtful.

Perfect chance as you say to bring in a few youngsters; Gauld, Fraser.. Even boys like Armstong and Phillips are only mid 20's. He's already ruined the campaign so very little to lose. More likely he sticks with the same tried and tested failure's till his sacking though the stubborn wee kont that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, don't want him back. Always blindly blasting the ball up front as hard as he can, always out the park most of the time, can't make a three yard pass without giving it to the other team and is an appalling reckless tackler. Getting Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Gauld into the team this year is more important than giving yet another chance to yesterdays failures like Adam.

Yorkie Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 What position has Mulgrew been playing at Blackburn of late? He's a decent centre-back on his day and a player I've always liked -  hits a mean dead ball too. Him and Berra in central defence, Robertson on the left and then maybe someone like Bardsley (once he's fit again) on the right until Paterson recovers. It's a struggle right enough.

To imagine that he was nearly out the door in the summer to where he is now is nothing short of outstanding. Goes to show what a change in manager can do for a team/ individuals Part of the change is playing in the right postion and not on the wind where deila had him. Couldnt understand moving him out of position when he was great with United in the centre. On 02/01/2017 at 4:13 PM, ErsatzThistle said: Bit like James Forrest then.

Playing well this season and I wouldnt mind him as an option but in reality we should be going for the younger guys now and he has no chance as he slated Strachan.......quite rightly so.

exile Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 For old time's sake If I'm not mistaken Craig Beattie scored on Saturday - for Edinburgh City Just had me looking out the archives - his last gasp goal against Georgia was his first and last for Scotland.

JECK Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 See McGinn came off the bench to score a good goal last night  and played well for 15 mins or however long it was. Cummings is a strange one. In my opinion barely has a game outside the box and looks a bit out his depth at times yet seems to always pop up in big games (relativly) with goals. Could see last night though they're trying to improve his hold up play, there were flashes of improvement last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rude Gullit Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Cummings has potential, but it's hard to justify pushing a Scottish Championship striker into the national team. Wouldn't at all be averse to giving him a shot in a friendly, but I fear hes destined to be another good, but not good enough for international level type.
