Last night the commentators spoke of our run to Manchester and we had 9 Scots in the squad and only 2 started last night. Also, our run to Saville, gio was able to change formations depending on the game.
We all remember the change at half time against dortmund, who threatened to overpower us that night. Interesting, I certainly would love more Scots and maybe PC has to look at other systems depending on the game. If we are as open again, we could lose 3 or 4 to teams like spurs.

Football changed a lot since 2008 tho ows. Having 9 Scot’s we wouldn’t get to next stage of Europe.

Lennon Miller and the Right back from Hibs, also named Miller would be a good start mate.

It's my opinion that PC doesn't have it in him to change things up. If he did, we wouldn't be witnessing some of the worst football we have watched in a long time. Unfortunately, to change things up, we need a manager with better tactics, and better players to play those systems. We have neither!

Add to that Kevin Nesbit or shanks (not both)
I’d also take Armstrong and Watson from Killie, and we should have took a chance on McCowan before he went to them.
Our squad is paper thin and before anyone starts, Barron was not the first name on the Aberdeen team sheet and he’s now a mainstay for us.
We need Scots, English and norn Irish and Welsh for steel and foreigners for flair.

"Run to Saville" nah that's not happening ???.

Kieran Dowell as a first choice sub is a massive red flag.
Persisting with Tav as a starter every week is another.
Then there is the consistent lack of structure to the team almost a year later. Worrying.

One Walter if you could pick a Scottish player for each position from the spl outwith Celtic who would you go for? and do you think it improves our starting 11 or just adds competition to position?
There are a few imho but the lack of Scottish talent in our league is frightening.
Our unders regularly perform very well at national level but again a very high percentage now play academy down south.

Lewis MilleR is Australian baldy and he’s brutal. Hibs fans are desperate to get rid of him.
04 Oct 2024 20:37:58
As it stands just now, losing 3 or 4 to spurs or man u, might be a good result, God help us!

aye we could go back 16 year and maybe hope for a time machine, or 1962 when we had a good side my da kept on about when Tottenham battered us senseless, good side that Spurs right enough and we had 11 Scots and they had 3 great Scots plus Greavsie . Time machine eh? bollocks really.

Scotland canny find 11 Scots so how can we ?
04 Oct 2024 21:21:18
It's a tough one when the rebuild is as big as it is.
We moved on 16 and probably have another 4-5 that know they would have been sold if we could.
Financially we're heavily restricted so singing Scottish players to bolster the squad probably wasn't top of the agenda in the last window.

EHL even if there were first team ready Scots who would improve the team. if they were that good would there not be a clamour of championship teams at least trying to sign them. no-one tried to buy any of the players mentioned. Aberdeen took Nesbit on loan and shanks has scored 1 this season so far with no-one interested. press didn't even make up stories about them except to us. does that not seem odd?

Angus, not really.
There are several Scottish players that we're monitoring and would probably quite happily sign.
They're seen as a bigger gamble though, so unlikely we'd splash what little cash we have on them.
More likely that we'd risk waiting until they are free like Barron.
