Pie Of The Month Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Looks like the venue has been narrowed down to Andalusia for our game over there. Norway game is already in Malaga so looking at the stadia in the region Seville could be a decent bet to host the Scotland game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merkie84 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hopefully an apathetic home support that doesn’t sell too well after the slow start so Scotland fans can turn it into a “home” game like at the Park de Princes in the McFadden screamer game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Clarke didn't rule out potentially switching to 4 atb in the absence of KT. Wouldn't be averse to it, the only issue is that we don't really have any wingers so would need to adapt accordingly Something like Gunn Hickey-Porteous-Hendry-Robertson McTominay-Gilmour-McGregor Christie-Adams-McGinn Actually that's not so bad and fits in both McTominay and Christie who I think would have been fighting for one spot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Probably have Dykes in for Adams. He was excellent in the home leg, was basically Rodri's shadow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 That squad is stronger than I remember from March, probably my memory playing tricks on me though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite different, but 15 players selected in March have been selected in October. The October squad is only 24 men strong while in March it was 26. These are the ins/outs. It doesn't seem massively stronger to me - just some good, some bad. Edited October 6, 2023 by 2426255 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think those lists are accurate for the games v Scotland. Olmo and Pedri both got injured so weren't involved in the squad for the Scotland game in March and won't be involved this month either, Balde got injured too so technically he's an addition compared to the last time they faced us. Borja Iglesias came on against Scotland too and isn't in this squad. Edited October 6, 2023 by Pie Of The Month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Pedri and Olmo both missing the squad is ideal. I've watched a bit of Barcelona this year and Yamal has looked extremely promising but I don't think he's ready for a game of this magnitude, especially up against one of the world's best left backs. Gaya is a big miss as well, Balde is again an exciting young talent but still very inexperienced at this level I'm talking myself into believing we can get something from this game There's nothing frightening about this Spain team, hopefully we can grind out a point 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borja Iglesias came on against Scotland too and isn't in this squad. The lists are based on the initial squad selections before any call offs and don't reflect the matchday squads that we faced. We can't compare the strength of the matchday squads because we don't know the squad which will take on Scotland in Seville yet. I was simply trying to show the difference between the initial squad selections, comparing like for like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I have an unfortunate feeling that this game will be a reality check game for us. Spain will be out for revenge and we are missing a very key player in Tierney. 3-1 Spain (but I think they’ll get a result in Oslo to qualify us) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney was outstanding that night and will be a big miss, but given the prize of a win is qualification as group winners, I'm hoping we can replicate the same intensity of press that reduced them to a David Moyes Man United tribute act. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
