Ok, given the criticism of the Scotland team selection, who would you pick and why (assuming all fit)? I think we need more creativity and would base my team around players who play on a regular basis. So:

Gordon / McGregor

Hutton Berra Caldwell Whittaker

S.Fletcher D.Fletcher K.Thomson C.Adam Riordan

Miller / GOC

Basically 4-3-3 when attacking, 4-5-1 when defending.
No place for the midfielder formerly known as Scott Brown because he hasn't done it at international or club level for a while and I'm a bit iffy about calamity Clangwell. Obviously some Hibs content there but a good few have played together at one level or another.

..Dorrans............................Adam

Subs.

McGregor
Berra
Hutton
K.Thomson
McFadden
McCormack
K. Miller

Wilson will get his chance at Liverpool soon. And as soon as the Red shirt is on his back, there should be a dark blue one ready for him too.

That's your team to get a result against teams outwith the top 10.


Defensive minded team.....

Midfield could easily be shuffled about. 4 in defence isn't an option as the full back have no positional sense (playing Weir behind Hutton last night :rolleyes:). Imagine David Villa last night! Right back AWOL and Weir covering two positions :faf:
A fully fit squad would have a good subs bench tho:
McGregor, Webster, Wallace, Robson, Hartley, Morrison, Dorrans, McFadden, Adam, Miller, McFadden

Edit - When was the last time GOC started a league game?

Last night's team, plus Potter, Houston, and Black, a wall, and a firing-squad.

That's my line-up.

The position we are weakest is our defence, especially at the centre

Wasters like Boyd, McCulloch and McGregor shouldn't be anywhere near the squad.

As long as the likes of Alexander, McLevely, Fox, Morrison, Kommons, Gilks, Driver, et al (England C) arent selected, I'd actually support any team that goes out.

throw in somewhere Robert Snodgrass from leeds and most of the names are pretty much covered.

Can't believe people think Thomson is an international standard player. Anyone can pass the ball backwards and kick people.

Interesting to note that of the seventeen who have so far replied to this post four chose not to answer the question. Of the remaining thirteen who did seven wanted Roirdan in the Scottish team and six did not.

Does this mean that, like Potter, a large percentage of the Hibs support still think that Riordan does not work hard enough?

Can believe snodgrass hasn't had a mention in this thread yet.

I'd play a 4-4-2

Snodgrass is mentioned above. like your midfield Ritchie but not sure about the middle of defence. Scotland used to be so solid in there !
