accies1874 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It would seem silly considering he was our best player at the Euros, but I worry that we might see Hanley played on the right of the three. He played there against Luxembourg and there was a rumour that he would against CR before Tierney's injury too. I know Gallagher's been excellent for Scotland but I wouldn't have minded him missing out and a more natural RCB coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Genuinely expected Jason Kerr to come in - a better option to play alongside Hanley & Tierney in the back three than any of those centre backs other than Cooper IMO - but otherwise no complaints. Wasn't expecting Ferguson in but I'd rather have him than Fleck and much like goalkeepers not called Craig Gordon, he won't be getting on the pitch anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I don't think Gordon will play all three games, so a decent chance that one of the others will make his debut against Moldova. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I worry about a Scotland midfield that doesn't have Ryan Jack in it and I worry even more when Scott McTominay isn't there either. I think we'll struggle in the middle of the park more than at the back - good to see Robbo will make it. That said, if we get the mix right in there we should be able to carve teams open, Turnbull and Gilmour have a lot of quality between them there, I just worry defensively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess of the three games that would make sense but does Clarke not like to keep the team as consistent as possible. I guess the management etc will be glad this is the last 3 game in less than a week window we face for a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looking after set-pieces, not doing the pre/post-match presser or picking the team. Much like Cathro, McPhee has an excellent reputation as a coach, their performance as a manager isn't really relevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 He changed his goalkeeper in each of the previous triple headers I think - Gordon played a game in each of them when Marshall was around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
