Caledonian Craig Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think Eck will make a few changes for Tuesday's friendly v Hungary but do think he'll stick with a similar system. McGregor will probably be replaced by Archer or McLaughlin I don't think we'll see Andrew Robertson who played the full 90 minutes on Friday. I can see him being replaced by Barry Douglas. Also we may see Hendry coming in to replace either McKenna or Hanley. In midfield I can see starting places going to Armstrong, Forrest and maybe Fraser. I see the line-up as being something like this:- McLaughlin Douglas Hanley Mulgrew Hendry Paterson Fraser Armstrong Cairney Forrest McBurnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfingers Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Agree with most of the lineup but I would go to a back 4 and start McGregor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 McLeish said in his interview yesterday that Hanley can't play two games in a row because of his shin splints so he'll definitely drop out. I'd be happy to give McTominay another run out but McGregor and Fraser need brought in, we seriously lacked the ability to carry the ball up the park quickly on Friday. Even Forrest might have made a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANDABBYDOZZY Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think go out to win this game with the next 2 friendliest being against stronger opposition or he’ll get a hard time from the fans so I expect he’ll play his strongest 11 & leave any debuts till the last 10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our problems by all accounts was our final ball and Fraser's good on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotlandWintheWorldCup Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 McGregor Hendry, Mulgrew, McKenna, Robertson McTominay Forrest, Mcginn, Armstrong Cummings Would Like to see McKenna again, played decent and needs to get experience. Also Hendry has played right back for celtic last two games, lets see how he does. Think McTominay will make a great shielding defensive midfielder. Like Cummings up front, seems to have a scoring ratio to shots and I like his confidence. Reckon this is our strongest midfield, mcginn is better centrally no?

I would like to see us get at least a draw on Tuesday though as we could end up losing 6 games on the bounce. I certainly can’t see us getting anything from Peru, Mexico or Belgium. Losing 6 friendlies in a row wouldn’t be the disaster it would have been in the past since the world rankings won’t affect the pots for the European Championship qualifiers but it will hardly do our confidence any good going into the Albania game.

I'm a bit surprised McLeish didn't pick Berra, does he see McKenna as a replacement for him or will he continue his experiment with a three? Ideally Paterson won't be right back and it may well be that McLeish sees Tierney in that position similarly to Strachan's last selections. If Tierney is injured however then it would be useful to see how Hendry would acquit himself, given that Bardsley is out the picture and we don't really have anyone else.

PASTA Mick Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I really think we need to win this game. We've just lost 2 in a row. The 2 summer games will be very tricky (end of season v highly motivated, decent sides) and the Belgium at home before the Albania match. If we lose this we could easily go into the Nations League with 6 defeats in a row. With that in mind... ..........................McGregor Paterson...McKenna...Mulgrew...Robertson .........Armstrong...Cairney...McGregor Forrest...............McBurnie..............Fraser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm hoping he tries some more guys and/or gives a 2nd cap to some of the new starts but not almost all in midfield like the Costa Rica game. Defo should have either Armstrong or McGinn starting. I'd like to see both new keepers get a half each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyVizion Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 IMO McGinn should ABSOLUTELY start each game. He's no Usian Bolt, but he's not slow either. He's intelligent. He can see and make a defence splitting pass. He has the passion and energy to take no shit from the opposition. He doesn't lie down. He doesn't take being pushed around. He doesn't let himself be dominated. We need someone to do all of that and set an example for the rest of the team. But he's lacking international game time, so play him as much as possible and increase his experience/confidence. Does anyone agree? Or am I just nuts?

Clyde1998 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I wouldn't mind something like this: Archer Paterson - Hendry - Mulgrew - Douglas Fraser - McTominay - McGinn - Robertson Forrest Cummings Give Archer, Douglas and Hendry their first caps, try out Robertson in a more advanced role and have Forrest in a free role in the attacking midfield position.

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 McGinn has to start, but am a bit worried that Peter Grant is pushing the case for the two Fulham players, they were abi let down on Friday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
