Johnny, our future lies with the youth. I would love to see Cook, Byram, Mowatt, Taylor and others develop together There were som brilliant flashes of movement from yong Cook yesterday. With harder work on the training ground and greater levels of concentration these lads are going to improve.
I’ve made the point constantly. We MUST sign a Strachan-like figure to play as role model-mentor to these youngsters. Somebody who can inspire and lead the way. Somebody who has been there, done it at the highest level and still has enough petrol in the tank. Remember, when young Bremner, Eddie Grey, Peter Lorimer were coming through they had the likes of wee Bobby Colins – a giant of a half-a-pint if ever there was one!
So Johnny, me New Years wish would be an old hat com in and take over as military general on the battle field. Otherwise the young uns are going to struggle. Any names com to mind, then?
And oh, if we could offload no-goody Woody and let Erwin off the leash at some point.
