But why persist with Naismith? He is not the future. Ryan Christie is worth a run. Maybe he is aiming for a blend of youth and experience. No need for all the team to be youngsters. + We need some leadership on the park. For me the main thing is, if it's not working, and/or the older players are tiring, then change it before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like: Gordon O'Donnell Hendry McKenna Robertson Forrest McGregor McGinn Armstrong Naismith McBurnie 4-4-2? We'll probably lose 0-5 Probably lose 0-6 if we played 3-5-2 so any thing better than that and I am right😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the players we are producing at age group level now, don’t only compete and get results against some of the top nations, we also play possession football against them. And even at 16/17/18 years old some of these boys are getting first team exposure, Cochrane at Hearts is injured at the moment, but Levein has already said he’s the best midfielder at the club. and wont be first choice when fully fit. Problem is Mr 4-6-0 got money to spend at hearts and went down the foreigner route again. Last year when he didn't he gave loads of youngsters a chance, including Cochrane.

exile Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 We have to remember it's an experimental side for Portugal too, with several players changed from their last match. So we should see this as an opportunity, especially for the youngsters to stand up and make an impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 If we don't see a huge change in attitude and application tonight then it's curtains for McLeish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee-toon-red Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Much, much, much better so far. Players look like they know what they’re trying to do in a normal and sensible formation. Shock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
