PB 4.2 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Perfectly understand the point that Craigkillie makes. But this is a game we need to win if we play with Forrest in front of Tierney you can absolutely guarantee we won't create anything down the right and we're back to relying on Andy Roberston as our creating spark. The performances from Forrest and Phillips in the last game were as bad as you'll ever see from wide players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Somewhat concerned by Snodgrass playing and scoring tonight. We're far better without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Somewhat concerned by Snodgrass playing and scoring tonight. We're far better without him. A goal in the championship is probably worth 5 Scotland caps.Going back down the snodgrass route would be a backward step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on form he's very, very good for us. But that seems like its been a long time coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Keeping himself fresh. I can't see him going with Snodgrass unless something happens to Armstrong. He'll play pretty much the same team he has the past few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 McGregor, Armstrong and Forrest all on the bench for Celtic tonight in the Champions League . Ironically all 3 being kept out by non - Scots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Griffiths notches in the Champs League tonight. Think this is his first group stage goal but great that he is racking up a decent tally at this level generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 He wasn't carried off or limping but he knew straight away he couldn't continue. Worrying. McGregor potential backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor potential backup? Not really a straight swap there though. Seems Brown felt a niggle and decided not to potentially aggravate it, good experienced play from him.

Hopefully no need for a replacement.Pretty sure McGregor has been or was playing alongside brown for Celtic as one of the holding two? Or has that changed?

sergie's no1 fan Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Probably end up playing Morrison and McArthur if Brown doesn't make it. John McGinn is the long term replacement for Brown but not sure if GS would throw him into the 2 massive games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Armstrong a doubt as well. Shambles if they're both out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 If Armstrong was to miss out I'd bring McGregor into the squad and straight into the starting eleven, but in all likelihood Snodgrass would be back in the team. Brown missing out would be unfortunate but Morrison and McArthur is still a solid partnership, losing Armstrong would be a massive blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Brown & Armstrong now definitely ruled out. Even if we were to call up Calum McGregor, there's no chance Strachan will put him straight in, even though he'd be a decent replacement for Armstrong. My bet is Strachan will go with a midfield three of D Fletcher, McArthur and Morrison and we'll get nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddymcp Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Darren Fletcher and James Morrison - you could argue - are better footballers than Brown and Armstrong. I have no problem with them coming in to replace them. Its a blow because Brown can set the tempo but we are strong in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 f**k. Two of our most influential players. Not quite sure who’ll replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'd be more worried about losing Brown, although that's only on the coin-toss of whether he'd put in a Ukraine-like performance where he gets under their skin, or more like last season's player where he struggles to make any impact at all. Armstrong will be a big miss, but I don't think he's 100% integral just yet. I just hope he doesn't start Snodgrass, or if he does, it's the Snodgrass that started the campaign, and not the one that has played the rest of it.
