[vanderark14]

why does he persist with Gilks?

 

Levein is a gump

[paddy]

Fit about Rhodes?

[vanderark14]

Fit about Rhodes?

 

U21's have a big game coming up so hes with them, I think. could be wrong though.

[OddJob]

So he finally decides to recall Webster, took him long enough. Agree VDA, the picking of Gilks is so boring now.

You're right.

thank fuck Rhodes will soon be a pick for the first team soon. I could not handle another campaign with Miller upfront.

 

Levein and Fletcher should also be sitting down like adults and ironing out any difference they have for the benefit of our team. Imagine Fletcher and Rhodes as our first picks or Miller again :suicide:

[boboisared]

Good to see Russell getting a go up top, doubt he'll get on though.

[Dazzler]

Good call up for Johnny Russell. Would have liked to have seen McCormack in there. Super happy that he's not called up Robson again.

Scotland squad

 

Goalkeepers : Matt Gilks (Blackpool), Craig Gordon (Sunderland), Allan McGregor (Rangers)

 

Defenders : Phil Bardsley (Sunderland), Steven Whittaker (Rangers), Christophe Berra (Wolves), Gary Caldwell (Wigan Athletic), Russell Martin (Norwich City), Charlie Mulgrew (Celtic), Lee Wallace (Rangers), Andy Webster (Hearts)

 

Midfielders : Barry Bannan (Aston Villa), Scott Brown (Celtic), Craig Bryson (Derby County), Don Cowie (Cardiff City), James McArthur (Wigan Athletic), Matt Phillips (Blackpool), Shaun Maloney (Wigan Athletic)

 

Forwards : David Goodwillie (Blackburn Rovers), Craig Mackail-Smith (Brighton), Kenny Miller (Cardiff City), Johnny Russell (Dundee United).

 

Potter gets a fair wad of stick, and rightly so. What would everyones best starting XI be though? If everyone was fit, not dying, not fallen out with the manager etc.

 

I'd go:

 

Gordon

Bardsley Webster Mulgrew Wallace

Adam D.Fletcher McArthur

Banan S.Fletcher Maloney

If we must persist on picking English born strikers i'd rather have Jamie Mackie or Fletcher in before CMS. McCormack ahead of them all in my book though.

[barassie_afc]

Think thats one of the poorest squads I have seen, but injuries and other issues may be effecting this. (Fletcher x 2, Naismith etc)

[StandFree1982]

There are only TWO non OF / English based players in that squad. Just goes to show how shite our manager and / or our league is right now. I've lost interest in Scotland these days, can't relate to the teams picked anymore.

[barassie_afc]

If we are picking english born strikers, we should at least pick ones that score

[tup]

Like?

[barassie_afc]

Like?

 

preferably none, should have rephrased it , remove english and include strikers that can score

We dinna have many of those.

I'd go:

 

Gordon

Bardsley Webster Mulgrew Wallace

Adam D.Fletcher McArthur

Banan S.Fletcher Maloney

 

I'd be annoyed if that was our starting line up

 

for me it would be

 

Gordon

Hutton Webster Caldwell Bardsley

Adam D.Fletcher Dorrans

Naismith S.Fletcher Maloney

 

Would still leave Mcfadden, Rhodes, Banan, Brown, McArthur, Morrison, Berra, Wallace, Snodrgrass, Mcormack & Russell to come off the bench.

 

Miller can get to fuck

[Foster14]

I assume Mackie at QPR is unavailable for whatever reason.

 

7 goals is a nae bad return considering he has been punted out to the wing, played for a largely shit team and missed the first half of the season with a broken leg.

[Chrisyboy81]

It'll be through gritted teeth that I'll be supporting Charlie Mulgrew, I really can't stand the cunt.

Next up Aluko will claim he has a Scottish Granny.

[vanderark14]

Gordon

 

McNaughton - Berra - Webster - Mulgrew

 

McCormack - D. Fletcher - Phillips - Snodgrass

 

S.Fletcher - Rhodes

 

That would be my preference if I gave a fuck, albeit Fletcher is away to quit football by the sounds of things so I need a central midfielder who is impressive to fill the void, Charlie Adam isn't great so need someone else to step up to the plate.

 

goo team that mate, I'd forgot about McNaughton.................. I don't agree with Berra before Caldwell

read elsewhere his wife is aboot to give birth

[Foster14]

Actually, ignore that last point. He came back in October. Would still have him in before Mackail Smith currently.

[tup]

Good to see Levein tearing into Steven Fletcher as I had urged him to do just last week.

 

I reckon he reads AFC Chat.

[Sonoftherock]

What happened to Dorrans? He scored at the weekend against Arsenal..

[vanderark14]

the only people that are suffering here are the fans and the team. Fletcher is arguably our best striker and a hell of a lot better than Kenny Miller.

 

the two need to sort out the differences now so we can look forward to the next campaign with our strongest squad

Dorrans wife is also about to give birth

It won't happen.

 

Levein has said Fletcher will never play for Scotland again.

 

I agree with that 100%.

 

He's going to play in this Team GB pish anyway, rendering himself ineligible.

 

Good riddance to him.

stupid mistake by Levein

[K-9]

Wonder which 12 players will pull out of this needless friendly this time around "injured".

 

Players want to just fuck off on holidays at this time and call offs happen every year.

 

In fact half these players will probably be away on beach somewhere with families already.
