I think the much more traditional Martin O'Neill will fancy Worrall and want him back. Time will tell but I think it'll be a concern for Gerrard because he clearly rates him higher than most on here. 

There is a good chance this will happen IMO. O'Neil has a tendency to fill his teams with big players and cloggers.

Agree with those worried about a Worrell recall under MON. His type of anti-football, high ball back to front and physical all over the pitch will see him look at Worrell (I'm sure he will have watched the OF game where Worrell had a fine game) and think he is worthy of a place in his team/squad. Also will see it as weakening us which will be a bonus for him.

 

I hope SG is preparing for his departure. Perhaps giving McCrorie another chance at CH as his chances in midfield are reducing with Davis coming in and talk of a change of shape which may mean we play with one less CM?

Goldson and Katic should be our CB pairing anyway.

Gerrard has made his feelings clear on McCrories position. He is a midfielder not a defender.

Livingston have signed Chris Erskine from Partick Thistle (https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/partick-thistle…). Maybe Ryan Hardie is staying.

And I totally agree with him. McCrorie was a bomb-scare as centre-back and not really tall enough. He is my first pick in the midfield in that more defensive role.

Thanks i thought he was smaller.

I've seen the opinion that you might play McCrorie in a back three but that he's the wrong choice for a back four.
