MarkoRaj Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Thought I'd start off the match thread with the news that the big robot is out for the game Absolutely nothing to fear here and it would be good to get a statement win in a competitive match to round off the group 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 No Haaland, Odegaard, Nyland, or Sorloth. Outside a couple of superb players, the rest are very average. This has all the hallmarks of a reality check in the past… If we fix the issues from Thursday, I’d be confident in winning by 2+ goals. I’m really expecting a performance and a great send off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really expecting a performance and a great send off. I was just trying to look into Sørloth, as saw he was in the original squad but then didn’t play on Thursday. Their next back up striker still has 4 in 14 in La Liga, so they probably have three strikers (at least) better than ours right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 He’s shat it from Porteous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Disappointed as I wanted to see Haaland and Odegaard in the flesh but I suppose it’s better for our chances of winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who saw them both in June came away in love with Kenny McLean, so I don't think you'll be missing out on much. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyIncognito Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Also if we win by 2 or more goals here we go into Pot 2 instead of Pot 3 which should mean an easier group in Germany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Finnerty Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 3-0 to Scotland and Georgia to dive their way to a 1-0 win against Spain. Steve Clarke already crowdsurfing around Hampden before the final whistle's been blown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Probably a few too many changes but hey, it was a poor performance on Thursday and some of these changes improved us. Hendry was a strange omission so I'd bring him back in, Ferguson and McLean did alright from the bench the other night and I think Shankland will get rewarded for his goal. The rest are just changes for changes' sake to replace players who didn't perform to their best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Depends what Norway do given their injuries. We've seen they mostly play a positional game, I don't expect that to change against us - so we can either try and out-compete them using the same strategy or do something else. I'd be tempted to play more aggressive, energetic and physical football and less careful, controlled, possession play. I think we'll see more of the latter because we've not had much training time due to travel and we're trying to improve our on the ball play against good teams. I'd like to see Armstrong start and I have a feeling Ferguson will play from the start in this although that's not really based on anything.

Richey Edwards Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 A must-win game IMO. If we win this then Norway cannot catch up with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorOnopko Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I'd start Clark in goals again. He did OK the other night and IMO wasn't at fault for either goal. There's no point constantly going back and forward between him and Kelly. Let him keep the back-up to Gunn status for now unless/until he has a howler. In the meantime, I hope Armenia give Wales a doing this afternoon (although I fear they won't). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Something to keep an eye out for at the game tomorrow.

The rest are just changes for changes' sake to replace players who didn't perform to their best. I'd be happy with that, although I'm never overly fussed what players are playing. McLean played at left-back instead of bringing on Doig so that makes me wonder if he'll be considered although maybe it would be fair to say the reasoning was partly to save on substitutions. I'd still have McGregor (or Gilmour) instead of McLean just for control and Taylor over Doig. Edited November 18, 2023 by 2426255 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
