Quite simply, Scotland isn’t producing players equipped for the top level any longer, both in quality and quantity. It’s a rather fundamental problem and one that will prove challenging to solve.

alberta white Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Depending on the season openers in the NASL , he might want to put Colin Millar in his carry on. (Sure it won't come to that though..will it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 If Scotland do what the article says, and it WORKS, and they stop the bleeding, then it's a valid lesson for Canada. Right now, it's only an opinion. Time will tell. I believe it's better to bring the best young guys up amid the best veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brethers Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I think the fact that it states that Vogts called up lots of youngsters to speed up their development is a lesson to us for NOT doing that. To my recollection Vogts was well hated by fans and it's not really done anything for them. They're in the same situation 10 years later so it clearly didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberta white Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 You can blood young players. If fact most countries do. Waiting until they all pass U23 level can often be too late. However normally you put them in as elements within an experienced squad. What Bertie did was blood too many too soon and at almost the same time. Also they weren't that good.

I'm not saying we shouldn't play youngsters, I really want us to do it. But it shouldn't be done the way Scotland did it cause it will affect their mental side waaaaay too early if they lose lots. Of course they weren't that good, they're Scottish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
