wheres the pies Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Few hours till kick off thought I get the thread up nice and early and no half way into the first half so biggest game in years so what’s your thoughts on the score ? Going for a nervy 1-2 win for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I will go for another tense 0-1 win. I dream of a Lithuania-esque result away though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitre Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'm in Danang, Vietnam. Hawf jaked already. We have been in this situation many times before but sadly I don't think we will win. Prove me wrong Scotland ya bams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Todays ref is Jonas Eriksson (Sweden). Anyone have any ideas what type of ref he is? Also on a positive we are certainly going into this match as the form side. Both sides last five matches record is:- Slovenia PLD 5 W 2 D 0 L 3 Goals For 6 Goals Against 2 Scotland PLD 5 W D 1 L 0 Goals For 9 Goals Against 2 We have played each other four times and Scotland have won 2 and drawn 2 and lost none of those matches.

They really struggled with crosses at Hampden. Starting Martin makes sense. Just need to make sure Bannan gets some decent balls in. I would prefer a CM that can drive at them but we have options on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Martin it gives Griffiths more of a freedom to roam role which he is good at as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Slovenia haven't lost a goal at home this campaign yet apparently. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 If we are playing 2 up right enough, then I can see why the more disciplined Macarthur is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 An early goal would make all the difference. Obviously. Either way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernscum Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Just spent the last wee while feasting on Scotland goals from the campaign, getting ridiculously nervous now. Last time I felt this way prior to a Scotland game was the dreaded Italy game at Hampden in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 That strikes me as 451 with Griffiths wide on the left & a very very slow central midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ten years since we were this close (or so it seems) even though it's only a game to get to a play-off not to qualify. Still, I'd still rather play a big team at home than a small but higher ranked side away, as we'd never be complacent defending a lead against the likes of Italy or France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious? I know Italy are a shadow of their former selves at the moment but they could still beat us easily. Slovenia are there for the taking.
