Savage Henry Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 6 hours ago, Desp said: Gunn to start. Kelly for Gunn sub (91mins) Clark for Kelly sub (93mins) Thank you. Even as a Motherwell fan, I know fine well that Kelly is nothing more than a solid Scottish Premiership level goalkeeper. The same applies for Clark. We don't have anyone else at the minute who could be in the squad, so I suppose giving them a token cap in a friendly is a nice gesture. They're absolutely good enough, however, for where we're looking to be. We just need to hope that nothing happens to Gunn in the next 8-9 months. Clark is anything but solid. Hopefully he’s in his “good” frame of mind, not his “I’ve never seen a football before” frame of mind if he gets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Looks like Deschamps had his fingers crossed behind his back when they agreed to play second string teams tonight... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I have the absolute fear here. Getting pumped does nothing at all for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Would rather McGregor or Mcginn were playing instead of McLean. Gunn for Kelly. that’s an outrageous French team and hope the changes/ injuries don’t make it too big a gulf. Regardless, biggest test we could possibly get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorOnopko Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Not sure what ths point of this is. Very strange to field a 2nd string and a weak keeper against world cup finalists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Its a friendly, calm down. We need to know if the likes of Kelly, Ferguson, Taylor and Patterson can play against this level of opposition with Clarke's game plan fo know if they can or cannot be trusted going into the Euros. Its literally why we're playing them tonight. Bring them on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you learn a limited amount by playing irregularly used players against a side that will dominate us? Does that tell us anything about how suited they are for Georgia/Norway, and then the likely opponents in March/June/July? I am utterly bemused and equally terrified by this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyStar Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Would be better with Camavinga in goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydeTon Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I would much rather use this is a test of how we can compete against the top (literally THE top) side in Europe, than a 6-0 hounding with a rotated side. We have Euro 24 and League A Nations League. This should be our window into it (in this case, unlike the Spain game, we have nothing to lose at all.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about Georgia or Norway now? Its all about the Euros and who can and cant be trusted in those games, especially games against the likes of France. Time for someone to step up and try push into the frame for a start against the usual starters. We'll lose. But Clarke will learn more about those players than he'd learn playing the same lined up as last week IMO. Also a good opportunity to give guys who turn up every camp and barely get game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously ? the difference between being in pot 2 or pot 3 will be massively influential to us possibly getting out the group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
