Having him obviously gives us an attacking overload on the left, but without him do we expect Hendry to power forward? Hopefully KT makes it, but if he doesn't I'd want Clarke to be less dogmatic. Hendry is decent going forward from one side of the back 3. Remember his goal against the Netherlands? He did f**k up against the Czechs but as long as he’s told not to try any silly Hail Mary shots I don’t think playing him at LCB will be an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper would be more comfortable there though wouldn't be suprised if he started even allthough he has looked out off the picture lately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your talking about the left side not middle or right side usually you play a left footer on the left side to bring balance Where did I say that all that I said is that there is a good chance Cooper might start 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is a good player even when he doesn't score he works his socks off for his team and runs himself into the ground And he can provide genuine peices of quality such as this goal,let's just hope he does it more for Scotland very happy to have him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumjob Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'd be tempted to try this formation for this game: Gordon Tierney-Hendry-Hanley-Robertson McTominay McGregor- Gilmour-McGinn Adams-Fraser (Dykes when available) I think the development of Hendry and Hanley means they're strong enough to play in the middle of a back 4. The similarities with the current system though is that when under pressure McTominay drops back between them giving us great flexibility to either have him sit with the fullbacks bombing on and even swapping sides throughout the match or to have McTominay rampage up the middle which against the weaker teams I'd expect him to do plenty of. This is the only way for me that we have all our best players on the pitch with the main compromise to achieve this being Tierney at rightback though this is our weakest position and he's a class act who I've no doubt would as be strong there as at left centre back. I don't see Clark doing this at all, he'll stick with what has been succesful so far but I think it would be a way for us to make a small change that gives us a plan B or more flexibility with the shape staying relatively similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Paterson has to play we have saw what he can do in a attacking sence and offers more of a threat bursting forward than O Donnell Who in his defence been unlucky not to score for his country he can hit good long shots and been close on a few occasions I aren't happy with playing a winger as a striker as well he is far to wee to be up there yes he has pace but we have a few others with pace as well that are genuine nines who would be more natural through the middle When Nisbet went on you could see how better we were cos he know the runs to make and knows how to play innthe box a natural striker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by up front I mean at blindside flanker against Tonga yesterday in the egg chasing. In all seriousness though there was a period I thought he'd be a good bench option for us, he was chaotic up front and had a knack of banging a few in and I thought that would be a good plan B when we didn't have one. Though maybe that's now Dykes and Plan A... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hanley currently struggling with an injury in the 1st half of their game v Leeds. Might be a doubt for this squad now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
