John Lambies Doos Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Squad will have an enormous hangover for this one. Don't really see us winning but not really that arsed either.It's important tbh. Slovakia will also have a hangover tbf. They can't win group either.Also if we do f**k up, a win against Israel would also do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is important, I know that, but we're probably not training today and Saturday's might be a bit of a write-off too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win both of these games I think we have a shot at Pot 2 for the WC qualifiers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewan14 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 We need to win it Is this the game Lyndon misses ? He will be greatly missed I think SSC will start with McBurnie !? and maybe Armstrong -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Let's face it, I'd imagine both sides would be up for just not playing the game and having a piss-up instead, but I can't see Clarke letting that set in. Both sides will be on a wave after qualifying, but we really need to keep this going. If we can get one win from the two games, or even better stay unbeaten, we could very well go into the Euros squad announcements having not lost in fucking ages, and being effectively guaranteed a second-chance playoff spot for the next two tournaments. And the best thing is, it doesn't seem in any way like we're waiting for the run to end. We're not blowing teams away, but it's not like we're hanging on either. 4 points from these games, and who knows what we can do? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Looking at how Clarke handled the post-Israel Slovakia game from last month, the defence stayed the same apart from the Cooper injury. We do have the depth there if we have to rest someone though.McLean is a cert to start. Both McGregor and Jack played 120' so it's difficult to say if either of them will start. Unless Mctominay moves forward there's only really Armstrong or moving McGinn back for the other CM spot. Difficult to see Clarke starting Griffiths over McBurnie currently.A little worried about the midfield but maybe something like:MarshallO'DonnellMcTominayGallagherTierneyRobertsonMcLeanArmstrongMcGinnChristieMcBurnie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if McLean will start the next two and Jack and McGregor will do one each. Other than that, I'd say your team will be right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The problem with McLean is that I'd say he's the most likely to still be hungover by Sunday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenockraver Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 i think we only need to win one of these upcoming games to win the group and get a wc playoff (likely) . Will be funny meeting israel as tournament goers after what has happened recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking 45mins each but Clarke doesn't seem to sub anyone at halftime.Mcgregor got ~20 mins vs Slovakia after 120 vs Israel. Jack got 2 mins after ~80. Dodgy one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 We're gonna ragdoll them aren't we? We're never losing again. Having another chance to watch this team of absolute stauner merchants so soon after their swording of Serbia feels like all my birthdays at once. Slovakia 0-3 Scotland. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastecoatwilly Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I don't usually pick on individuals but McBurnie should be no where near the Scotland set up get Nisbet in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
