Martin is constantly slated but has extended our hopes until now, Anya slated set up goal last Thursday etc etc etc. Armchair fans are in armchairs for a reason - because they are not qualified for non-league management never mind international football management. I've done my badges to a high enough level to know how you can change games that arn't going your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Great tactician that Strachan, lose a striker when we lose a goal, only to replace with a worse striker (but with a better tattoo count) later on, genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor or mcginn  should have started, the one who didn’t should have came on as sub. I know I get stick for bigging Forrest up on here but he plays a really important role. He gets the ball up the pitch quickly, tracks back and wins loads of free-kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez if you put faith in them gewtting in an inspirational European manager you surely must believe in tooth fairies. I don’t put faith in them doing anything even remotely capable, but that’s where we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Seems we should listen to Craig Burley in future Maybe Strachan thought he could sacrifice a midfielder to play two up front due to the Slovenians being without 2 key players However you think he would notice us being over run in midfield and change it We were playing on the counter attack for most of that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) 24 minutes ago, Mox said: Strachan is a manager who is over cautious and who employs the tactics of fear rather than expression and who is incapable of putting the best 11 players on the park prior to kick off. It has been pretty obvious that the last five results have relied more on luck rather than the managers ability to get the best out of the players and employ tactics that play to their strengths. Get him and the rest of his cronies to f u ck as soon as possible. Totally disagree.  We have consistently improved under Strachan, the team is getting younger and we have momentum.  Changing now and we could end up with another Berti, Burley or Levein. Edited October 8, 2017 by adamntg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how easy the away game was not beating them at Hampden was criminal. Everyone will look at the England game but the score was 0-1 at 87 minutes and everyone would've taken a point before Griffiths stepped up for the first free kick.

And I say that as someone who doesn't think that much of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Whatever the starting line-up tonight if we never got the win Strachan would be slated. A 4-5-1 and people would have said we needed two strikers as we needed the win. We went with 4-4-2 and he's getting slated for not sticking with the tried and trusted set-up of 4-5-1.

Aye right Aye.  On the empirical evidence that 14 points from the last 6 games is better than 4 from the first 4.  We improved in our second games against Slovakia, Lithuania and England and are now unbeaten in six competitive matches. Why do you think we haven't improved?

We got a lucky win v Slovakia (lucky because of the early red card) and were outplayed tonight. Any fan could pick the Celtic players and fill in the gaps. Let's not pretend Strachan is the reason we have improved recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
