Third Lanark

Injuries happen to all teams but you would think with all the players England have playing for elite clubs who regularly feature in the latter stages of campaigns that they would have a lot more injuries - yet they rarely get injuries to their key players. Better treatment perhaps?

He's only got 9 goals though cf to that Smzodics with23. The latter has just been 'discovered' by RoI. Why can't we find someone like that? Anybody with Scottish connections with over 20 in the Championship would be automatic for our squad.

Now you're just being silly. Burke never did anything in the EPL: McBurnie now has 6 goals.

Certainly McBurnie is outperforming Dykes right now. Don't kow why he's hated by some on here. Think it might be because he is a Rangers supporter. But they will say, No! It's because he's rank.

Thank you.

Anyone know why McGinn didn't play for Villa in their 4-1 defeat? Is he injured?

Better news on Gilmour; 3-4 weeks apparently. Just Hickey to worry about now.

After watching that you tube analysis of Ferguson the whole way through ( can't find who posted it but thanks for doing it), I now think we should build around Ferguson, even it means - leaving out Tierney or Robertson. He is the ideal no. 10 and should bring out the best in Shankland. How about: Gunn: Hickey, Hanley, McKenna, Robertson/Tierney; Gilmour, McGregor; McTom, Ferguson, McGinn: Shankland.

Title of the thread?

I will only accept folk saying Clarke should go if they can suggest a credible replacement who would be willing to take the job. I can only think of Michael O'Neill and he turned us down.

Sticking Super john McGinn on the programme cover was a crass error, comparable to the 1978 send-off for Argentina. McGinn is not undroppable any more; he has hardly scored this season for his club and the last 2 matches he has been rotten, sending crosses out of play and shooting wildly. I'd give his spot to Ferguson.

I'm trying to be positive. Well, NI may have done us a favour by playing how they did. We should line up like that v Germany and hope to sneak a goal on the break. Everybody here would take a 1-0 right now. If they can do it with players from Preston, Huddersfield and Stevenage then we can with Hanley and Cooper etc. in the same formation. BTW, lot said about Patterson not playing for his club; Cooper has not had much game time at Leeds yet I didn't see him put a foot wrong.

What a strange comment. To what are you referring?

Well we bloody well should; ranking points lost mean we continue to get tough draws.

Really think Dykes should not go to Euros but it won't happen.
