Goalkeeping is still a desperate worry though: mistake merchants and bench-warmers…and that’s our best!
Many other interesting outfield picks though; surprised Kenny McLean’s still there and Calvin Miller isn’t?

At least Angus Gunn is back playing regular football and not a 3rd choice for his club. Best of the 4 easily I’d say.

No place for Dominic Hyam who was in the WC squad. has he lost his place at Wrexham? I see he came on as a sub in the 6-0 thrashing by West Ham last Friday.
I must admit I had to `google` Luis Binks. He`s had a nomadic career - born Gillingham, Spurs Academy, Montreal, Bologna, Coma, Coventry, Brondby. He qualifies via a Scottish grandad.

Dykes was very much a Clarke striker. His role in Clarkes team wasn`t to score goals. It was to punch holes for the `actual` goal scoring threats (McTominay and McGinn) to exploit with runs from deep. He played that role really well.
Pocognoli clearly wants to try something a bit different.

The squad is refreshing. Keen to see how some of these young guys get on and the influence the new manager will have. I just hope we hive them some freedom and try and play some football. As much as I enjoyed the WC our football was terrible.

It will be interesting to see his first staring line up v Slovenia.
What formation ? 442, maybe 3 central defenders ?
Will he start with Hendry and McKenna and maybe one of the 3 new CB’s……or chuck 2 of the 3 in at the deep end ?
I think McBurnie will start up top with Ure probably.
Midfield still kinda picks itself , unless he gives McPake a start in place of Christie.
We’ll soon find out…
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

I must admit, I wasn`t expecting as many unforced changes. Pretty optimistic as a Scotland fan, to be honest, and I can`t wait to see how we play in a competitive group.

Ryan Gauld is talented but both him and Morgan looked ordinary when they made their cameos. He’s 30/31. I just don’t see a place for him.
Fair play to him with the 50 goals/assists but we’ve got better players in the squad than him.
Unless we are going to drop John McGinn, Gannon Doak, McTominay, Christie, or Gilmour to squeeze him in.

I must be the only one not concerned about results over the next two weeks.
We have a new coach meeting his players for the first time, he needs time to find what he wants in terms of tactics and preferred regulars.
I treat these games as friendlies so he can experiment a bit and bond with the squad.
Let’s not do to him what we did to Bertie and not give him s chance to rebuild.

first squad and away to Spain to minimise the over-scrutiny of the media etc and let him work with his players getting to know them and them getting to know him.
Looks very hands on with training in the behind the scenes stuff shared.
Very impressed how he had conducted things so far.
Looking forward to the game on Saurday afternoon
