Officer Barbrady Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Last time i played FM consistently, i had McCormack and Fletcher tearing up chunks of South Africa getting to the semis, before a humiliating exit to Euro12 at the playoff hands of bloody Belarus. I'd never have got near these games, if i just protected my poor defence better in group games, and limped home in 3rd..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Snodgrass picked up an injury today and will be a miss. I haven't seen much of him but have heard plenty good things about Burke, this could be his opportunity with Snodgrass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacekid84 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If Snodgrass is out it will be a massive blow, Tom Cairney should be called up as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Aye, I saw he scored again today and he seems to get a lot of mentions whenever I see Fulham play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Is Snodgrass definitely out? Saw the injury - twatted his thigh off the post. Big miss if he is out. Would rather have him and Burke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It's his calf. He'd play in behind Fletcher I'd imagine, if fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 How about Marshall Hutton MartinHanley Robertson Fletcher McArthur MorrisonBurke Ritchie Fletcher That's assuming Griffiths and Snodgrass miss out. If they make it I'd have them starting ahead of Morrison and S. Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Burke surely has to. I'd be very surprised if he didn't. I wouldn't risk Snodgrass if he's not fully fit, given the trouble he's had with injury. We shouldn't need him in Malta, but he'd be good to have on the bench should we Tbilisi it up. Griffiths may be less of a risk, but wouldn't be surprised if it's "advised" he doesn't play. Wouldn't be too upset at that, although if any match is going to be good to get him some confidence at international level, it's the one against the bottom seed. If Griffiths is fit enough to start and Snodgrass isn't, I'd start him up front with Fletcher behind, similar to the Denmark game. Flank them with Burke and Ritchie.

Burke to play through the middle up front. Pace power and fearless and the boy can finish. He has played there for forest this season. At 19 that spot could be his for next decade.

You're right that they're no Gibraltar, they've already lost to them.. Since that Italy game, they've won one game - ironically against Lithuania - and if you go back further you need to go to 2013 when they beat the Faroes 3-2. As I said, they were beaten by Gibraltar in that time, and had absolute cuffings from the Czechs (twice), Bulgaria and Denmark. In competitive games, they're not the same level of diddy as Gibraltar and San Marino, that's correct, but we should still be beating them comfortably.

I think we should be winning. But it's not a walk in the park like some are making out. Friendly results mean f**k all as well by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
