Luckies1874 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Shooter McGavin said: Got the be a cert for Germany though eh Assuming fitness for me there are probably 21 certainties to be in the squad. Gunn Clark or Gordon (ironically this entirely depends on what happens at Hearts!) Kelly Robertson Tierney Hickey Patterson Hanley Hendry Porteous McKenna McGregor Gilmour McTominay McGinn McLean Ferguson Armstrong Dykes Adams Christie This leaves only 2 places. A lot will depend on how Clark wants to balance the squad. Given how he sets us up I can only see one forward/striker and right now I think Shankland has that spot. Cooper Souttar Taylor Jack Shankland Brown Nisbet This does not take into account someone like Barnes becoming available - he would certainly be in the 23. Nor Doak having a fantastic 6 months for Liverpool and becoming impossible to leave out. The reduction back to 23 from 26 (post Covid) isn't helping Shanks and other's. Thoughts?

Robertson Tierney McGinn McTominay Gilmour Hickey McGregor All excellent players. We’ve got the captain of Bologna and captain of Leeds available tonight and they can’t get a sniff. That's fair comment Again though, in comparable terms, I just think that if you look at these players, compared to other national sides, they would probably argue for some of their players being in the same bracket. Then you have the next level where we aren't in the same equation The manager still has to gel, and get the side playing and competing. 2 Euros back to back. League of Nations A team. I mean, would the likes of Strachan, Vogts, McLeish, levein etc done as well as Clarke and with this current team ? Personally, I don't think they would have, but that's just my own opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byyy The Light Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 25 minutes ago, Luckies1874 said: I think he is Scotland's best striker too. But he's not our best forward. And I believe Clarke differentiates between the two things in the way he sets up the team. With all due respect to Lawrence, Clarke is unlikely to change the way we play, one that has brought us more 'success' than in over 20 years, for him. He is going to stick with what he thinks works best up front in respect to how we defend from the front and how that focal point contributes. This does not mean that Shanks can't be part of the squad next summer and he gave the chance of that a massive boost in Tbilisi but that will likely be his role in the squad, to come on when we are needing a goal. 👍🏼 how I see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
