Or god help us Matt Phillips? 🤦♀️ Bit harsh. I'm sure there have been better players than McBurnie who have missed sitters. Key thing is if Griffiths is injured we're struggling so I don't really mind whether it's McBurnie or Cummings. I was a big advocate of Phillips getting into the Scotland squad as I believed his strength and pace were assets but I fear my judgment was flawed.

That's a decent shout although I'm not sure about your Forrest experiment and would prefer either Armstrong or McGregor in there. Also I doubt either Robertson or Mulgrew will play from the start. I'm sure I saw somewhere Sheffield Wednesday have a game on Thursday? Edited March 25, 2018 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenmcn Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Not what I'd pick, but something like what I'd expect Archer Paterson Hendry. Mulgrew. Robertson Fraser McGinn. McTominay. Douglas Armstrong. Cummings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Hanley isn't a surprise as some have mentioned here, he struggles to play back to back games because of shin splints. No idea about the other 2.

jackhayes17 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 McLaughlin Paterson Hendry McKenna Robertson Armstrong McGinn Forrest McGregor Fraser Cummings Mulgrew has a game with Blackburn Thursday night so doubt he will start.

Yorkie Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Not getting the calls for Jordan Archer to get a game.

I would think he'll play Mulgrew rather than risk an inexperienced pairing of Hendry and McKenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he might have left out Berra because his distribution isn't that great and in playing 3 at the back that is crucial. Think it was more of a mistake to leave souttar in the U21 as he has said we are short of right sided CB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering most goalkeepers don't peak until they're around 30, he's absolutely worth taking a serious look at as he'll probably be in the squad regularly for years to come. 14 clean sheets in the English Championship is not to be ignored, particularly at a newly promoted club.

Caledonian Craig Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 What with Hanley being ruled out and Mulgrew surely being rested for his Blackburn match on Thursday I think now, in hindsight, Eck may revert back to a 4-4-2 system going with McKenna and Hendry at the centre of defence, Robertson at left-back and I'd go with Barry Douglas at right-back. In midfield go with Armstrong and McGregor in the middle and Forrest and Fraser on the flanks with McBurnie up front alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
