Richey Edwards Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 We will win this at a canter and then people will complain that this Scotland team did not turn up for the Euros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0rtonfc Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 This game has a stinking draw/defeat written all over it if we continue with the same formation and tactics that's killing us, both teams rubbish at the Euros. I guess you could maybe say that Poland at home first game is probably the best we could have hoped for. I really hope with Tierney out it forces Clarke's hand and we move to 4 at the back, a 4-3-3 would be good to see and at least have a go, a back 3 and I foresee another 90 mins of us passing it side to side without a shot on target.                    Gunn Johnston - Porteous - McKenna - Robertson      McTominay - Gilmour - McGinn        Forrest            Christie                 Adams Something like that would be decent. Ralston would probably still do a job if he got the nod, might be more comfortable in a back 4, suppose we could take a gamble on someone else in for Forrest or Christie but can't see Clarke doing that at all. Bit more of an attacking formation I'll be more confident we can win this but back 3 and it'll most likely be 0-0 or a narrow defeat.     0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocketman Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Difficult to call and God knows how the team will line up and whether they will be motivated. All things being equal a dour draw or Scotland to sneak a cagey win. And then to go on and get truly pumped on Sunday.  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on council telly in Poland, you might need a VPN though. https://sport.tvp.pl/transmisje/pilka-nozna I expect there will be a last minute deal to broadcast it here though, it's getting televised anyway. Maybe STV will jump in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I basically agree.  I’ve got a bad feeling about this. Clarke looks like he’s not enjoying it any more and I’d imagine he’s on the verge of losing the dressing room.  The SFA should have thanked him for the memories and moved him on after the Euros. Continuing further down this path will really start to tarnish his legacy.  0-2. Lewandowski goal in each half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I hope this is on the telly. Ideally council telly. Poland were pish at the Euros too. If we want to win a game in this group, this is as good a chance as we’ll get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Aye, Poland have been sub-par for a couple of years now. Still entirely capable of a good result, but too many defeats to mediocre/poor opponents of late. I'm not sure how Scotland have been doing over the past year; surprised there hasn't been more chat about it on here TBH. Lol. Much with the Euros, it's going to take a total turnaround in performance to get anything here, even if Poland haven't picked up yet. I don't know if anyone, players or manager, has any idea why we've gone from impressive performances to this, but surely Sir Steve will be away if we're still toothless by the end of this round-robin. We're entirely capable of avoiding last place, at least, so hopefully there's good work going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The squad looks like a crusty shite. We've dropped off heavily from 2023. The likes of Torino, Las Palmas and Middlesbrough are pish enough but EFL1 level players should be nowhere near the Scotland squad. 1 win in 14 after these games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard we're calling up no-marks from places like Canada now too. The SFA don't even have a picture of him. Probably a part-timer on loan from Tim Hortons to fill out the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
