Lads Christie shouldn't be near the squad imo. He was chronic the other night. Did nothing goin forward whatsoever. No need to be selecting him again. Stevens i think is in the same boat. Hes just do lethargic in possession and generally gives it away. He hasnt the pace to even think about beating a defender either. I still think McClean has some value to the squad so i would keep him around.

Just checked, Smallbone has 16 PL appearances over the years - and is in some form now.
The cupboard is bare for us in creative midfield positions in this window - surely he should be with the seniors on merit now and actually get some game-time. If not starting, to come on when the game opens up a bit. Can't be any worse creatively than what we've had so far in the last 20 min of games when we needed a goal (and probably be a big improvement).

Stevens was awful. Christie was mediocre. Little threat going forward. But again, what world beaters do we have in reserve?

My starting team would be
Kelleher Festy Collins Duffy O'Shea McClean Browne Cullen Ogbene Knight Robinson Obafemi Hendrick Parrott Manning Molumby Keane a mix to come on early if things go to pot.

Browne shouldn't even be in the squad, the definition of sh*tE.

It's a good lineup but we'd probably get booted out of the competition if we started twelve players.

Nothing against Smallbone but there's no point throwing him in to the lion's den with all this needless expectation of him and have him getting criticised too if he doesn't step up with a great performance straight away.
It's a young lad who's started sporadically for Southampton and struggled in his limited appearances this season. I don't think he's the answer right now on short notice.

Yep, absolutely no way we can go with a two man midfield here, it's their strongest area. We'll struggle with three in there to be honest. Knight is going to be run ragged again trying to do too many jobs by himself in attack and also off the ball.

You could also argue that without Doherty, whose absence during this window has been under-emphasised in terms of how we attack through the middle of the pitch, we don't have the squad to play 3-5-2. I don't see us getting a result against Scotland. I can't remember the last good performance we put in a "derby" game. Even the 1-0 win against Cardiff was a backs to the wall job.

Jesus Cullen would be fetching water from a Leaky boat there. Far too much pressure out on Cullen and would be destroyed by Scotland's midfield. I think he needs an extra midfielder in there with Knight and drop Robinson who looks unfit/wrecked.

Collins and Ogbene the only two that didn’t look gassed after 60 mins in both games. Can see Duffy starting tomorrow but the others could be replaced
