    International Break Bollix

    Beginning of our worst nightmare…

    Spain 0-0 Scotland

    Andy Robertson has had to come off before half time with an injured shoulder.

    42 minutes into the first game played by our players and ours is the one who comes off injured.

    Jeez I detest all these International breaks.

    Very frustrating, but there's always a silver lining to find.

    Gives Tsimikas a run of games to sink or swim, or (depending on set-up) we could choose three centre-backs seeing as Robbi's job is meant to be a LCB when Trent tucks into midfield - so could mean more matches for someone else like Quansah if we are feeling brave.

    Scanlon or Chambers could be used in the Europa League without decimating our side's chances should we decide that Tsimikas isn't up to playing every match - if we're going for a LB role rather than a LCB role.

    We have options. The need to deploy being forced upon us due to injury is obviously crap, but we really should be able to cope.

    International football is a pain and I have no interest in it whatsoever. Champion league teams would beat most international teams. My own country ROI wouldn't get into League 2.

    You could always play Gomez on the left if needs be. I believe he was playing that position when a Burnley hatchet man broke his leg 2/3 years back

    Tsimi will be fine, he’s played in the Europa and he’ll just have played a couple of games for Greece so he should be up to speed

    I think he was partnering Virgil at centre back wasn't he? And in the best form of his life.
