Wales have blooded youngsters for the last 3/4 years who have yet to start a senior game for their clubs. Ethan Ampadu, Harry Wilson and Ben Woodburn spring to mind. Think Daniel James could be another. All good players but no better than Gilmour.

The point is, we - like wales - are not blessed with enough great players to overlook a talent like Gilmour. Chelsea operate at a higher level than Scotland. If yer good enough yer old enough.

All of these players were eligible to play for England which would have played a part in why Wales decided to cap them so young.

I can only assume Tom Cairney’s failed to impress SC in training. Great goal on Saturday and again tonight. I’ve seen him regularly at Craven Cottage until last year and he is the best player in the championship by a mile. Fulham had to fight hard to fend off West Ham and Newcastle.

A clever, creative, technical 10/free midfielder. Really disappointed he’s out the picture.

Could be, yes.

He is the best one imo but it’s SC whose opinion counts.

At 28 he might be getting on a bit. Blooding the youth like mctominay and christie might work out better for the future.

But on the other hand John Fleck is the same age. 

Was slightly annoyed at Shanklands inclusion and then couldnt think of many strikers better than him at this stage. S. Fletcher maybe (rumours hes retired) or griffiths but we all know his problems. 

Shankland obv wont play v Russia and you could see him scoring against San Marino
