Good luck to Lewis Budinaukas, Robbie Fraser, Leon King and Connor Barron in the Scotland U21 squad.
Could be the first time the country qualifies for the Under-21 European Championship in 28 years.

agree teddy. recognition firstly of them and the club. also though a chance for them to play against. decent level of opposition which isn't available at the level they play at domestically.

Good post teddyblue, the sad thing for me is that probably all 4 will have to move on if they want a 1st team playing career, as our Club would rather waste £Millions on so called good players, most of whom do nothing to earn what we pay them.
In all my years following our Club, I've never felt so disillusioned about the situation we currently find ourselves in.

Irvger why would barron move on he's already a mainstay in thr side. If your good enough your playing. Leon king is no where near good enough for starting 11.

Interestingly both Leon King and Robbie Fraser are rated by PC, however not in the positions that they've developed in through our system.
It's a bit of a theme and something that's being changed within the youth set up - seems in Holland and Belgium players aren't coached to within an inch of their life to play in one position.

EHL interesting and not only there at times. Look at Sterling's coaching at Chelsea. I think he said he had been played in midfield etc as well as FB.

I mind John saying King was a midfielder originally. Sure, it was John.

When PC took over he said " I want to play attacking football, with lots of position changes ". Its something he brought with him and will stick to it.

I'd like to see us sign more young Scottish players.

Fork, king started his career as a holding midfielder.
