Not sure Iain Black is the answer but he certainly isn't a worse option than Caldwell.

Brown for me is just not good enough either. He's a headless chicken and always good for a booking. We need proper players who are comfortable on the ball and can keep possession. We really need Darren Fletcher back. It's no coincidence that our last decent campaign under Walter and Eck had a consistent central midfield of Fletcher and Ferguson, two players who can actually retain possession for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Adam and Morrison are not terrible players but they are not leaders and both panic under pressure. We desperately need Fletcher back.

IB should be bnowhere near the team!!

Agree db, regrding DF. He brings a calming influence to the team allowing people like Adam to get on with their job. Brown would have been perfect last night, Pandev would not have ran the show had he been playing! He is not everyones cup of tea but he brings energy and drive to the team and with Fletcher and along with Adam he brings the perfect balance

Hutton shouldnt be anywhere near the team until he's playing regularly.

bf,

I think you right about McArthur, he is one i mentioned the other day. He would fit perfectly in to the '2' of a 4-2-3-1 formation. He plays it so well for Wigan offering good protection and retention of the ball - something we are struggling with

a million times better than what we had out last night.

We will still qualify, have no fear.

Doom and gloom merchants on here.

Yep, McArthur would do a job too. Not sure why he wasn't in the squad, was he injured? Seems to have been playing regularly.

I do wish people would stop harping on about Steven Fletcher, he is not going to be our saviour. The man is not interested in playing for Scotland, he has made that abundantly clear. Forget about him, he's overrated IMO anyway.

thing with brown is, although he is not technically gifted he leads by example. his workrate is first class. you can be sure if brown was in the team last night there midfield would have been closed down all night and not allowed to pick holes in our defence.

every team needs a player like brown

Mcarthur played for wigan last time but said he wasnt totally match fit in that game therefore wasnt included for these games.

Fingers

McArthur played last game for wigan tho. Hutton has been nowhere near a 1st team squad at Villa. Didn't stop his selection for Scotland.

Likewise Miller is a spa$tic but is always 1st pick

Not saying he will be our saviour, but he will improve our team dramatically with one up top - and score goals! And its LEvein he doesent watn to play for not Scotland. I would like to tel him to GTF but we are not that well off to do so!

----------------------------------------------
He's never been a goal machine though, he's never been a 20 goal a season man anywhere he's been. Even Miller has had 20+ seasons on a few occasions, I don't think Fletcher has ever had more than 11-12.

He's decent but I don't think we're as desperate for him as some fans make out. Yes we could do with the squad depth but IMO he's not worth grovelling to.

I don't remember him actually saying he wouldn't play for Levein. As far as I'm aware he just said he didn't want to be considered for selection....BY TEXT!!!

He didn't even have the decency to call up Levein and talk about it.

If he feels he has been treated unfairly then why hasn't he said something about it? He has had about 2 years to make some kind of statement.
