Kirk Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 no bite in midfield again and matt Philips who was utterley terrible last 3 games, at least fall over Forrest had a go in the last game. If griff is playing wide this is f*ckin desperate stuff. Pass me a beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they've lost three of their last five games. So depends how you want to look at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus have two consistent starters from their midfield missing. Birsa would have been winning his 100th cap tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely will not be easy. But when was our last easy win? Even the two Malta games we won weren't particularly easy. I'd be worried if we were playing a supposedly easy game - these are the ones we normally mess up. We have a long history littered with banana skins which have Scotland-shaped footprints on them. I'm very happy that we are playing a tough but certainly winnable game to try and secure that playoff place. It will ensure we retain our focus and don't get complacent. For me it's our best chance.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Not sure how this impacts on their mindset but Slovenia coach has announced he is standing down after this match. Salmon pink strip again tonight. Edited October 8, 2017 by Caledonian Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borojock Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Im about to pop out to a friends to watch the game been nervous as hell since the Slovak game, but im confident i really dont think this Slovenia team is great - yes i know they havent conceded a goal at home in this campaign. If we keep our composure, press the game onto them, keep the back door shut with the two CB & CM, play as well as we have recently then we will be fine Good luck everyone and see you on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 2 minutes ago, SteveHFC said: 4-4-2. I was hoping we would go 4-4-2, but was thinking more, Anya, Berra, mulgrew, Tierney, Phillips, Fletcher, McArthur, Robertson, griffiths, Martin. robertson and Tierney attacking and overlapping down the left, Anya overlapping on right with Phillips cutting inside. Fletcher protecting defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsman Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Looks like a 4-4-2, with Phillips and Bannan as the wide players. Seemingly, thats where Bannan has been playing for Sheff Wed, and according to reports, he was outstanding in their win over Leeds last weekend.

Happy with that team so I won't be slagging off Strachan if we don't win. It's all down to the players now. I might have started Anya because he can fire in some good crosses but happy to save him for later in the game if we need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bino's Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 will be a man light in midfield away from home not sure would have gone with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 What formation are we playing here? Either way, Bannan, McArthur and Fletcher is grim, grim stuff although McArthur is certainly the best of a bad bunch. This is going to be a carbon copy of the other night, with a midfield that has zero creativity or inventiveness to unlock a defence, so it will be pumped up to Martin and Phillips in the hope that something falls for someone and we get a win. Not looking forward to this in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
