Draper has potential, but is a little hot an cold.

He had a penalty saved late in a game last weekend, is that the potential of a WC striker?
Maybe the keeper that made the penalty save should be going to the WC!!

Are you serious? Everyone has penalties saved from time to time. The potential of a WC striker shouldn't have much to do with penalties being saved.

It's hard to argue with any of the squads people are suggesting just because we lack so much depth that it's pretty obvious who will go, the only thing is if we take one more keeper/midfielder/defender instead of Costa, because with Brockie able to cover up front we have about 5 strikers already. It's ashame Aaron Scott hasnt been performing well enough to get game time because I feel we should take a wing back cover, maybe Hogg is the answer.But all the defenders except Lochhead are centre backs.

40 minutes to go. Getting quite excited actually.

So will Radio Sport just broadcast a press conference or something?
