Serious fellas. I never taught I would see the day when we have so many local players playing on the starting team in important world cup qualifiers. And this is the first time I feel safe with that.
12 local players and one unattached.
Players like Birchall, Stren and Yorke not even here and I still feel confident, even though they are a must. And I hope the TTFF dont neglet them.
Scotland cant even make de starting line up. Carlos getting sub at half time, Roberts not even called, etc etc....
Before, a foreign based could have walk into a local side with ease.
I may not like Maturana's tactics, but I do like the way he is developing our local players.
Now dont get me wrong, Birchall, Yorke, Stern and Kelvin Jack is a must. Sancho and Spann have to earn it.
And some of the locals I am not sure about, like Gyasi Joyce....
But so far, locals isn't doing to bad.
I dont want to get to excited, but we'll see. Time will tell.....
A solid local core is always good to have, thats for sure...
