If that was the case N.Ireland, Wales, Bosnia, Albania, Iceland, Slovakia, Finland etc wouldn't be qualifying either. Our problem is more often mentality. We are timid, meek, and passive. How often do you see us take a game to the opposition like others do? I swear we’ve managed it only a couple of times since 2007. Tonight is surely a night for a victory. This team will likely have never played together in a competitive game before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menzel Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Do I brave the pub for this or stay in just in case we fluff it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to be great, they just have to be better than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed have never played a competitive game before. Only Hubník has any sort of significant experience, and the rest have a handful of caps and U21 experiences combined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the entirety of League B, only Israel and Scotland haven’t qualified for any major tournament since 1998. That’s actually a pretty horrifying stat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Manhattan Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm guessing that the people who're putting Gallagher in their team haven't actually watched any Motherwell games this season? While by no means the worst performer in a thoroughly miserable set of performances, he has hardly recreated the form that got him the call up last time either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 That might be the worst midfield trio imaginable for any dynamism. We'll keep the ball but unless the full backs are at it that's all we'll be doing with that lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear we’ve managed it only a couple of times since 2007. agreed. but then we have players at club level who are not lacking in self belief. We consistently appoint managers who are decent enough but struggle to move beyond the "hard to beat" category; once they have steadied the ship they have an inability to then build that into an attacking confident team. We are defensive in every sense from SFA execs down but the real crux of it lies with each managerial appointment. let's see where Clarke goes from here...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 As much as McLean is a neat and tidy player, his regular inclusion does baffle me. I assume some of the guys are dropping out due to fitness rather than being dropped because I'd definitely rather have McGinn in that midfield than him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Just now, itzdrk said: That might be the worst midfield trio imaginable for any dynamism. We'll keep the ball but unless the full backs are at it that's all we'll be doing with that lot. This in spades. That trio is pedestrian. Looks like Armstrong and Christie will need to drop deep to get any service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
