Snodgrass is massively over-rated by some Scotland fans. We have much better options in his position. 

totally agree, some on here were claiming not so long ago hes the best we have had in his position since kenny dalglish !!

apart from the malta game he's had 2 good performances for scotland in competitive games! both against croatia and they were ages ago.

he is a good but not exception player but some people hold him up to be some sort of faddy type maverick which clearly he is not. on current form and recent performances for us he should be nowhere near the starting line up.

Ryan Fraser playing well the night Bournemouth up 2-0 against Swansea 

He's quick, he's talented, he's skilful, he can beat a man, he chips in with odd goal for Bournemouth, he's on form in one of the worlds top leagues..............he won't play.

He should start against Canada.

Just a shame he's playing on the right for Bournemouth and not on the left.

We should start the likes of Fraser, Burke and Armstrong against Slovenia. The rest have had their chance and they've failed.

Totally agree, would play them in behind Rhodes. Time to change it, either as a last through of the dice for this campaign or to look to the future.

Murray Wallace last ditch block from earlier today.

Nice to see a Scottish centre back get a little praise at a decent level. 

Would be good to see Wallace or Lindsay make the squad next time out. 

Is he playing regularly at centre back though? I always saw him as a left back.

When did League One become "a decent level"?

When he's playing well and getting praise in the Championship, fair enough, there's some good teams and quality players in the Championship, League One is still horrific.

John Fleck nominated for E league one player of the season. He is still only 25, looks like he will be in the Championship next season. 

 

Highest number of assists all season.

Noticed that when I was checking on Jordan Archer. Archer of injured in first half, shame for the lad as only just back from injury.

Really think he should be in the squad just for the experience no point in carrying on taking 3 ageing keepers.

Start for Oliver Burke

 

I was at the game.

He started at RW, and was moved over to ST around 35 minutes.  Got subbed off around 68 or so.

He had a reasonable game.  Touch and accuracy of passing was very poor at times (much like the Canada game).  That said, so were many of the other players on the field, especially including the Leipzig number 9 (the team's hero) who came on for Burke with 22 minutes to go and was utterly woeful.

Burke doesn't look out of place in that team or that league, but clearly needs more game time to build up confidence and tactical awareness.  He missed a free header in the second half, played a team mate through who absolutely should have scored and had a hand in the first goal.  He looked far more of a threat at ST than he did on the wing.

Still looks a great prospect, but I think we should be very aware that he's 19 and a long way off the final product.

Yep and for what ever reason no one on here can see that.

 

People on here can see he is a good Championship player but let's not forget he moved down a division in the summer.

People have also seen in his few caps for Scotland that he is very slow, gives the ball away a lot but is capable of brilliance.

He's a useful squad player and has a part to play for us.
