Not too many complaints with injuries etc. Paterson is at least taking that useless cunt Palmers' place. I personally would have taken Griffiths over Taylor, no need for 3 left backs and Griffiths can score a goal out of nothing.

You still counting Tierney as a non Scot? 

[Henry]

Aye, three left backs is probably the strangest one, Taylor is lucky to get a #spotontheplane

Aye. 

[davieb]

Considine will be gutted

[shut up meg]

Maybe but what I've seen this season, he has no complaints

 

[davieb]

Fleck is the present day Scott Gemmill, how he makes every squad is a complete mystery!

Very true, but there are a few in there that that could be applied to!

You are a fool, Henry. A fool.

No Griff is a shocker

Good to see Colin Hendry back in

It's Callum they thought he was a defender after his loan spell here.

I would say the same if we had taken 3 RB's but he has replaced Palmer who is English & shite.

Aye back in prison.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Not many complaints with the squad.

I would take Paterson before Palmer as well to be honest. Palmer is 29, crap and he isn't even Scottish. At least there might be long term hope with the wee hun bastard. 

Taking 3 left backs is bizarre. Especially when we probably won't play any games with a left back. Not to mention the fact Taylor is pish. 

Gutted for Considine but he probably isn't good enough. Glad Shankland hasn't been called up, strange he is gets a mention. He scored 7 goals last season.

Griffiths only has himself to blame for not being there. He should be first choice and getting the number 9 shirt. The myth that you pick him because if he gets a chance he'll bury it was put to bed when he had chances against Slovakia and Israel which could have got us a play off place for Qatar 2022.

Shame for Consi but from a selfish perspective he needs a good rest so he's ready for Aberdeen next season. 

Playing every week for us and going away on international duty all season must take a toll at his age. 

[Andy_123]

We’ve had worse squads.

Patterson I can understand, not convinced he’s ready for that level yet, but be as well get him some experience rather than taking crap like Palmer.

Taylor and Fleck are both lucky. Way down the pecking order for their positions but get a spot anyway. I’d have rather seen Gauld and Griffiths in the squad in place of those two.

Forrest is a bit of a gamble given how long he’s been out injured this season. He’s only just back from months out isn’t he? 

 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Which one is Hendry again.  The dundee to celtic lad that they decided wasnt good enough and is now shagging tulips.  Or something.

He was looking good when he was called up, but I think his form took a bit of a dip towards the end of the season, so not completely surprised.

If Aberdeen had been performing as a cohesive unit maybe he would have stood a better chance. 

[eddiec]

big surprise for me was Ryan Fraser when even his own manager is saying he needs a full pre season to get fit 

[Hoofball]

Would’ve gave Gauld a chance over Fleck. Don’t understand the need for three LBs when Scotland will play 3 at the back

Yep. Gauld should have got the nod over Fraser. Pointless taking an injured, unfit player. Same with Forrest.... surely he’s not going to be 100% either?

Good little player i thought

[shut up meg]

Fleck must be a good player if he is regularly playing EPL/Championship level however when he has been picked for Scotland, he has been anonymous.

I would rather Griffiths or Gauld was picked ahead of him or Taylor as we seem a bit short up front.

Fraser has delivered on a number of occasions for Scotland. Not many can say that.

Gauld has had 2 decent seasons in his entire career and they are about 7 years apart. Portuguese league isn't up there with the very best so I don't think Gauld has done enough

Not strictly true though is it?

See McBurnie, Oli
