Six Gers in Scotland squad


Recommended Posts

According to last nights news this squad is only for a first get together down at Turnbury. This is not the squad for the Georgia game.

 

I thought it was for the friendly in February (cant remember who against). But even if its a get together - that makes his exclusions worse.

I'm not talking about dumping the guys in the team but kids should be in and around the squad. The likes of Thompson (steven) aren't the sort that will take the squad forward for 2010 world cup are they? Will Murty, Alexander, Hughes be there for that qualifying section or wil it be Steven Smith, Maloney, Riordon, Naismith. Christ look at naismith's performance last night - is that not a man on form?

Has Naismith been playing like that all season ?

 

See, I don't see how you can use Naismith's performance last night as justification that Eck should have included him, especially as Eck's first squad was selected before Naismith got a hat-trick.

He had a bit of a dip in form after his trip to Arsenal but has been playing really well most of the season.

 

What about Maloney? Scotlands player and young player of the year last season?

 

Riordan, consistently scored goals over the last 3 seasons?

 

Scott Brown, a dynamic attacking midfielder, in the mould of, erm, well, no-one in the 30 man squad Mcleish picked.

 

The fact that this is for a get-together rather than a qualifier makes this selection all the worse. He has to get these guys involved. Most of these players have been enhancing a reputation over the last 2-3 seasons so they aren't one-season-wonders! A distinct lack of foesight and vision from our new glorious leader!

Riordan is barely getting a game at club level.

 

How many of these players were selected in WS squads ?
