Agree on Martin but Fletcher has been in decent form for Wednesday since the September games. Rhodes only played his first action of the season for Boro the weekend before last away to West Ham and was subbed after about 65 mins. Bardsley hasn't had much game time for Stoke since Glen Johnston was fit again, played the first few games but not had much since then.

The current TV deals are sold centrally by UEFA to each countries broadcasters, has nothing to do with the SFA. Not sure how it works with ITV but they may pay Sky a huge fee to take the England games off them.

Hopefully that's the case if we do indeed loose. Still believe even if we do loose that 2nd place is salvagable. Whether its would be enought to avoid worst 2nd place I'm not sure.

He's joint favourite with Lambert. I cant see it being any of those 3 you mention as it means they'll need to pay compensation, though they did do that with Levein. I notice Lagerback has moved up to 10/1 4th favourite.

Dissapointed if this is true. Feel its a cop out to be using the excuse that the England game is to close. Plenty of candidates available now. My biggest fear is that we get the gallant bounce back performance, loose narrowly or cheated out a point and he keeps his job only for it all to fall apart again March v Slovenia and then we really are screwed.

Madness that a coach would ignore what a scout has told him. Lambert was on the radio last saying pretty much the same. He would have played pace against their back line and looked to play balls over the top and press them high up the pitch, Griffiths in the last 20 mins confirmed to me that's what we should have done.

I said on Tuesday that Berra should be starting, shocking that he didn't.

Tom English has been highly critical of him for a while and I heard his post match comments last night. Acknowledges that the defence is an issue but says that a better manager would get so much more out of that squad. Steve Thompson appears to be the only pundit who seems to be turning or has turned on him based on his comments on BBC.

Listened to Radio Scotland on drive home from Airport. Kevin Thompson mentioned the lack of a holding midfielder being one of the main issues last night. We had 3 guys in the middle of the park all looking to get involved in played furter up the field and nobody there to protect and already dodgy back 4. The only player who springs to mind that could do that for us IMO would be Mulgrew, certainly done well in that postion v ROI in Glasgow.

Would take some run to finish top, something that wont happen. Was saying today on way home that to finish 2nd (with or without Strachan) and to get a playoff we're going to have to win 4 or 5 of the 6, I'm not counting the Malta game at home as that wont count in the race for 2nd place rankings. That means winning away to Slovenia and Lithuania as well as the other 2 home games. Again highly unlikly

I think it'll be Serbia top and Austria with maybe the Welsh piping 2nd. From what I've seen on Georgia in the last two games they look a lot better now, no longer seem to be that 11 men behind team. Superb on the counter. They will defo have a massive say in that group. They should have been 2/3-0 up in Dublin on Thursday

World Rankings Scotland 44 - Lithunia 117 Wales 10 - Georgia 137 Maybe not as bad as we thought

Can we please stop harkin back to the euro campaign, its daein my moobs in. Its gone. Fail to win on Tuesday and I think he needs to go, while it could still be salvaged in some way.

I would have started Griffiths but lack of football since Malta due to an injury is a concern, only played 56 mins of football since then while Fletcher has started every game for Wednesday, scored 3 and has 2 assists in that time as well. Fletcher is in a bit of form just now.

3 in his last 6 plus a few assists as well. For me Fletcher starts only cause Griffiths is just back from an injury

They said as much on talk sport tonight. It will be Southgate unless he makes a total mess of it over the next 4 games.

Did that not happen to England?

Burnley mentioned as well

He played there in the Czech game in March and played very well, might be because of that maybe.

There has to be some truth to the McCormack 'I'll only come if I'll start'' rumours

Did you see his goal from Saturday?

I dont think this is a game fo Anya, Burke might be different as he has the ability to take people on. Really not sure how the team will line up, if all fit. Defence problems worry me with Hanley and Martin with next to no game time, Morrison and Anya similar. Is Morrison carrying an injury? Would find it strange given he signed a new deal over the summer Would go with the below myself Marshall Patterson, Martin, Berra, Robbo D Flecther Morrison Ritchie Snoddy Burke Griffiths

Love, McBurnie and Kinsgley in U21 Squad. Of the others, Bardsley, Boyd, Maloney, Fraser (U21?) Not sure on the 8th. Two unused were Fulton and Adam

And Man U as well according to BBC. A quick search on twitter and a lot of Forrest fans really hoping they dont loose him

Just seen his goal there. Outstanding
