Tartan Blood Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think this would be the perfect match to test out McTominay, Gilmour and McGinn in the middle together. They are arguably our best centre mids and may be a taster of the future of our midfield, if not for the Euros. You never know, they might be an instant hit, and force Clarke's hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiemike Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hope we just stick with Gordon, far better than Marshall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can progress the ball well into midfield and is more likely to get the space and time playing deeper, a bit like Tierney. It also means we can pick one fewer centre-back, which remains our weakest position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 We should rip it up and start again for this one. We have nothing to lose.Orange juice at half time? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 You know the film The Perfect Storm? Well we just drove through that to get to Lux and it's caught up with us now. Should be dry Sunday apparently.Any recommendations for beering pre match? I think we're staying 5 minutes walk away. I don’t think you’ll find many near the ground but there’s a Scottish pub (interestingly named ‘Scott’s Pub’) about half an hour walk away by the river. Place D’Armes is the main square and about 10mins closer. More restaurants than bars but loads of tables outside in the square for a beer if it’s dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 There's a case to be made for that, but regardless we do actually have talented guys who can play in there, and that's not really what McTominay is either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I hope people can see past the result of this match as it isn't important. The team seems to be ready for the tournament so this game seems to be ideal for fitness and maybe testing contingency plans. The things I'll be looking for are: Minutes for the players who need them. (Marshall, O'Donnell, Patterson, Hanley, Fraser and maybe Forrest) First cap for Patterson. Some involvement for the players who never played on Wednesday (McTominay, McGinn, Adams) I'd like to see Adams or Dykes or both score. The midfield tweaks worked pretty well on Wednesday and the defence looked pretty good . It will be interesting to see if someone comes in for Jack Hendry because I'm not sure who in the squad really covers his position other than Scott McTominay. It therefore wouldn't surprise me if Scott McTominay played right centre back today even though Steve Clark already ruled it out although I would rather see him in the midfield. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
