Dembele with another goal for Blackpool yesterday. That's 7 goals and 11 assists in the league this season. He's only just turned 21 as well. Probably a good chance he ends up playing for us or the ivory coast if he keeps progressing. Not exactly very keen on him after all his switching between England and Scotland but we do tend to lack attacking wingers with pace and flair so I could maybe see him being a useful addition in the future if he turns into a decent player.

It's not that incredible when you consider his main position that he's played his whole career has been attacking midfield. Saying that I think Clarke needs to consider him for central or defensive midfield sooner rather than later as it's clear he can play that role well.

Conway's two goals. Surprised there isn't more excitement regarding him. He's probably got 50/50 chance of becoming an established epl striker in the future. Something we usually lack in our squad.

His club form has always been hit or miss. End of the day he is a average championship striker who wouldn't get picked normally but has done pretty well for clarke in the chances he got. He's definitely not a guaranteed starter but he's certainly earned his place in our squad regardless of club form. I agree though that he needs to show a bit more in a Scotland shirt as recently he hasn't done much. I would give either shankland or Adams the starting position for the euro matches especially if they do well in the two upcoming friendlies.

Ooft dykes is taking a slagging on here. Surprising consider what he did against Norway away and all the other important goals and assists he's scored. He's been poor for his club but the guys been pretty good for us overall considering he's a average championship striker.

Handful of decent performances? I think I remember 1 game where he played ok. The rest he was absolutely honking. Couldn't control or pass a ball. There's a reason Clarke doesn't pick our only epl scoring striker. Normally we are crying out for epl strikers but mcburnie doesn't get picked. There's a reason for that.

Let's recall Olly burke and have two ollys up front for the euros.

Tbf Adams has a goal every 158mins which is pretty good. I think the fact he's slumming it in the championship is why ppl feel he isn't doing well plus he isnt starting every game due to his uncertain future at saints. He's still very much an important member of the team/squad. I think shankland deserves some more chances. Maybe a confidence boosting goal against either Finland or Gibraltar will set him up for the euros. I dont mind trying Ferguson or mctominay upfront if it's in a pair but on their own I don't think would work. One thing's for sure is we need to give fergie more chances.

Yeh he never missed much clear chances but he did look poor regarding his touch and ability. He honestly looked like he has never played football before when he played for us. I think it's quite telling that Clarke refuses to pick a guy who is scoring in the epl. I don't want to go overboard with how bad he was in a Scotland shirt as I have said it countless times and I actually don't mind the lad as person. I don't mind him getting another chance but he will have to perform alot better in the small chances he gets. Wether Clarke gives him that chance is another question. If theres an injury or 2 then he will probably be in line to be called up.

No hatred from me, I just feel his performances were that bad that I didnt want him getting picked but I think he deserves another chance. He's scored enough this season in the epl for a terrible team that I think he maybe deserves another shot but I wouldn't be giving him any starts. He would have to show that he can play well off the bench or in the limited gametime he gets. I think thats fair as he performed so poorly for for Scotland in the chances he got. Even the u21s games I watched he was terrible in. I think the conversation with fleck didn't help things either. Ppl didn't like his attitude there despite him always turning up.

Hardly any of our players have started this weekend. What happened to them?

Lol is 'retarded' a banned word now. It's gunna be tough to have a conversation with anyone if we start banning words like retarded.

As much as I have slagged him for his Scotland performances I do think if he scores 3 or 4 more goals this season then he deserves a call up. He maybe even warrants a call up based on current form.

Mcburnie with a goal. Let's get him back in lol.

Lol Billy Dodds and Gordon durie. That just illustrates my point about how poor our striking options were. Craig brown did a pretty good job when you consider how weak we were in some areas. We missed McAllister for sure and mccoist really should have went but his career was starting to fade pretty bad at that point.
