Central defence and centre forward remain the issues for me. We have some quality young guys with physical strength and pace out wide in Robertson, Tierney and Paterson and a number of pretty decent footballers in midfield, some who need further opportunities moving forward. But at the back and up front we still look short and when it comes to the competitive matches it will likely let us down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Fox Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Sadly the Scottish team is worse than Scottish club sides. It is woefully poor - but if you look at the leadership (woeful) in the SFA then it’s their shadow that is cast and permeates to all levels!

I have no idea where goals are going to come from though. I would certainly have Berra in the side in terms of his defensive abilities. I don't think he's the best passer of the ball which obviously has its draw backs at this level (not that the other options are much better in that regard). I still think he is highly likely to be involved. Souttra is still miles off this level in my opinion though clearly he has potential. He is thought well of evidenced by him captaining the U21's (to a truly dismal 1-1 draw with Andorra) earlier today but concentration wise and physically he's not a full international footballer yet. I think he would get badly bullied by good strikers. Agree about the goals and just hope with our full team playing the midfield and the likes of Paterson and Robertson's attacking threat we can find them from somewhere.

Doc Rob Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Well, that was about as good a result as I expected after seeing the team. Don’t get me wrong. I’d be happy to lose a bunch of friendly games if it meant giving youth a chance and putting together a new team. The trouble is that by not picking Berra (clearly the best option at CH right now) and starting Hanley, McLeish has demonstrated he is a total cretin.
