    Naismith creaking through another 90 minutes for Hearts in the Championship. His attitude can't be questioned but I think his legs are totally gone. We saw it in his most recent two Scotland performances last November too where he was well off the pace, even against poor opposition.

    Did Naismith not play well and score a header against Kazakhstan?

     

    I genuinely can't remember much of the game but Scotland were good second half that night

    A defeat here would be a real kick in the cock. I'd go:

    Marshall
    McTominay Gallagher Cooper
    O'Donnell Jack McGregor Tierney
    Armstrong
    Dykes Christie

    Hopefully Christie can make it. It was a toss-up between Armstrong and McGinn but think Dykes should be added to today's front three as Armstrong/Christie were great together, plus McGinn could probably do with a rest.

    Armstrong is suspended

  3. With the result today agaisnt Slovakia

    A disappointing score but a decent performance (Scotland were the better team today)

    A good thing is that the team we played on Thursday is far superior to the team today

    We may already have topped the group by the time of the game (If Czech republic and Israel draw later today)

    I actually want us in a way to not be already confirmed as top by the time the game starts as I want us to put on a full performance

    McBurnie did nothing tonight - If we had Dykes on (I know he was suspended) - we would have won - scoring at least 2

    Dykes will be back on Wednesday

    Not sure if Robertson will still be injured

    I reckon same team that started against Serbia should play if all available

    Armstrong was pretty poor today (A player I rate very highly) - think he is suspended though for the Israel game

    Marshall

    O'Donnell, McTominay, Gallagher, Tierney, Robertson

    McGregor Jack, McGinn

    Dykes Christie

    If Robertson is injured Tierney moves to LWB and McKenna takes Tierney's place

    We can do it

    First any players “coming out of retirement” can get to f**k!

    We’ve got a serious lack of goals in our strikers which is very worrying and when Dykes went off we had zero up front. Shankland scored against San Marino and Burke against Cyprus hardly world beaters, Paterson and McBurnie have 0 goals in 30 caps a shocking statistic for any striker. For me the rest of the squad is fairly easy to pick with the odd player missing out but our striking options are really poor. Naismith is still one of our better options but playing Championship football. There’s half a season for our strikers to impress Clarke and with the exception of Dykes every other striker spot is surely up for grabs.

     

    The only thing I disagree with here is that it may be a bit harsh on Callum Paterson - most of his caps were when he played in defence I think and he is usually a subby when he comes on nowadays?

  5. McClean and Armstrong will start

    Palmer to come in for Stephen O'Donnell too

    Apart from that I would be very reluctant to change anything unless players are injured

    Burke for Dykes who is suspended

     

    Marshall

    Palmer, McTominay, Gallacher, Tierney, Robertson

    McLean Jack, McGinn

    Burke Armstrong

  6. Marshall) (40), Gordon (54) McCrorie (0)

    Paterson (16), O'Donnell (15), McTominay (18), Gallacher (6), McKenna (16), Cooper (4), Tierney (14), Robertson (39)

    McLean (15), Jack (9), Armstrong (21), McGinn (27), McGregor (25), Fleck(4) Christie (14), Fraser (14), Forrest (35)

    Dykes (6) McBurnie (13), Griffiths (20))

    Something like this Palmer, Considine, Taylor, Gilmour, Burke, Shankland - absentees

    Not sure on 3rd keeper either after Marshall and Gordon

  7. Just now, JagsCG said:

    2 goals in his last 5 games, both goals coming off the bench. Never played any part in their last match. 

    That's not a bad return to be fair. I was genuinely asking - I barely watch club games in Scotland. Dykes will and SHOULD start but I reckon Griffiths is the type of player who can pull something out of nothing - even when he was a young player at Dundee (I was a season ticket holder then) he stood out like a sore thumb. Glad he is back in the fold.

    This is from a few years back but Armstrong is quoted as saying his ideal position would be playing off of a striker as a 10 anyway: https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/14749294.stuart-armstrong-is-in-his-best-position-and-back-in-form/ and then you can factor in his recent run of form for Southampton (6 goals + 5 assists in his last 21 league games) have all been from right midfield. 

     

     

    I'm a Newcastle fan (for my sins) - Armstrong was easily the best player on Friday night for Southampton against Newcastle - he scored a good goal too - he is on form - I would start him

  9. If we go with 3 centre backs I would go

                                   Marshall

           McTominay, Cooper, Tierney,

    O'Donnell, Jack, McGregor, Robertson

                         Armstrong McGinn

                                      Dykes

     

    If we go with 2 centre backs

     

                                   Marshall

    Tierney, Cooper, McKenna, Robertson

                       McTominay, McGregor

              Armstrong McGinn Fraser

                                      Dykes

    Alright, the data is still a work in progress in terms of how I want to present it, but I know how eager everyone is to peruse the lists as soon as possible, so here is some information. 

    - There are 87 entrants

    - The most popular pick was Prince Philip, with 51 picks

    - I really don't want to count all the solo shots and deadly duos (at least right now), but there's fucking loads of them. 

    The list of entrants, teams and relevant information has been added to the third post at the start of the thread. Please let me know how the formatting and loading works for this - it shows up fine for me on desktop but my monitor is quite wide, and it was quite slow to load because of how much stuff was there. In the meantime, I've attached the full spreadsheet to this post. You'll probably need OpenOffice or another program that opens spreadsheet files to view it.

    In the spoiler below is a full list of names and how many times they were picked. There may be some repeats/omissions, but everything in the original spreadsheet is correct and any issues with the lists/presentations should be corrected over the coming weeks.

    Since this is the last of the stuff I'm going to post now I'd like to say thank you for the volume of players and of support I got from lots of your PM's. I know the Dead Pool has been going on here since long before I started posting, so I hope I can do it justice over the time I'm in charge of it. Good luck.

    I cant see the lists on the first page?
