JamboX2 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Can replacements be selected? Or draft U-21s in, if so based on who's out I'd be looking to select: McCormack, Gauld, Christie, Paterson and one of McLean, Reynolds or Ryan Fraser to step in and play against Gibraltar.

TheBigO Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Dont know much about the others but paterson isnt ready for international matches. Na he isn't. We're desperate for an RB though so maybe time to decide who the next one will be and atleast get him in and around the squad to help bring him through. CP could well be next in line, so could see the merit in his selection for the next couple of squads, or for a game against the likes of Gib.

If you're bringing in new blood you want people who will be next in line for when competitive games start and at this point Paterson isn't anywhere near ready.

Don Dan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Now is the time to bring in young players like Walker, Nichilson, Paterson, Mackay-Steven etc. Give them a game against Gibraltar and Germany.

We've nothing to lose as we're out of this completion so let's go for it. We won't though. Cosgrove and Cowan want Strachan to do just that so he can turn round afterwards and give the fans two fingers and say, 'See, the players you wanted aren't good enough. Leave me alone and let me do my job because I know what I'm doing and you don't'. I expected better from Tam and Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These young guys would hold their own against Gibraltar and I believe they would gain massive experience playing against Germany who are no great shakes at the moment. So what if we get beat, its experience that they players need and what better way to gain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand by for another Steven Fletcher 'masterclass in the strikers role' as he increases his international goal tally towards double figures. Against Gibraltar.

Tomorrow is the time for us to give guys like Shinnie, Dorrans and Russell a game, give them some exposure. We'll still beat them comfortably.

Henroddy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I really hope Strachan makes changes. He has a chance to try different players for this "meaningless" fixture. What would be the point in playing the same players that have already been given a fair crack of the whip and come up short. If they cant impress against Gibraltar then we really do have concerns.

Ibrahim Tall Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Dont know much about the others but paterson isnt ready for international matches. Possibly but Scotland v Gibraltar is hardly 'international football'. Giving the likely future of national team there debuts here could only benefit us for the next campaign when they'll likely have to play or else we're planning on sticking with the likes of Hutton, Maloney and Greer into their 40's...

gnasher75 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Not convinced Paterson should be in Scotland team but Hutton definitely shouldn't be.

Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk Whittakers a better option but it's worth noting he'd be 32 this summer, he's not exactly the future. That generation has already failed to achieve anything multiple times now, we'd be better cutting our losses and blooding the next one as soon as possible like the Welsh did a few years back in my opinion.
