csinclair Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Says it’s all that the squad were late to arrive in Albania as well. Why we continue to fly the day before a game baffles me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though i think it's time for change now, not just the manager but the suits as well, but i know that won't happen. Enjoy the game tonight, hopefully. Fingers crossed. I'm having to miss it as son no 2 is playing in a fiddle rally at the Pleasance in Edinburgh tonight. Bloody weans. 😉 Hopefully it's a good one and we all get to rave about some tactical master stroke by McLeish. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another tired performance awaits this evening I fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he is now one win away from getting a play off spot. So he has already achieved as much as Strachan did. Hopefully he can go one better on Tuesday. Israel are better than Albania though.

Just back from the Fiddle Festival in Edinburgh. Absolutely fantastic night and made even better by the result tonight. 😁 And if you like Scots Trad music, check out Saltfish40. Absolutely brilliant.

We haven’t lost a competitive game at Hampden since Germany 2015. I don’t expect that to change on Tuesday although we do need to win the game. If Israel think they’ll get it as easy as they did in Haifa then they’re in for a shock. Hopefully we’ll get a half decent crowd after tonight’s result as well which should help us.

The same Kris Commons who retired from international football to spend more time with family then first international break went away to Las Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been getting shunted about to accommodate Cadden at right back, as a right back I think Tait is Motherwells best, certainly most consistent outfield player. I’m guessing you’ll have only seen him v Celtic, possibly at left back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have a feeling we will win tonight and put in a good performance. I don't know why but I do think we have the makings of a decent team and that with us missing a few key players. McLeish isn't everyone's cup of tea as we can clearly see by that other ridiculous thread and the comments in it but I really hope it succeeds.

Exactly, and the vast majority of the squad is aged 20-27 which is brilliant. Also don't remember the last time our squad looked so attacking (minus the centre forward issue of course). These lads could be a real solid unit going into the Euro qualifiers. Plenty to be optimistic about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a strong midfield, but we're yet to see how a defensive mid pairing of Armstrong and McGregor holds up to a halfway decent opposition. Striking options are still lacking, even if Griff hadn't made himself unavailable. Defensively we're still pretty poor and vastly inexperienced. Ideally McKenna and Souttar can strike up a partnership, but we're still without a right back other than O'Donnell. There's some potential, for sure, like you say "the makings of a good team", but we're still a ways off it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frustration is it is the team plenty of people were posting on here when McLeish took over but it took him a good few matches and a load of injuries for him to realise it. Anyway, a good performance and three points tonight and hopefully we are in a position to kick-on. Getting Fraser playing every match is vital.

That team was missing Mulgrew, Girffiths, McGinn and Tierney so lets not pretend any of us had the first clue. Not one person would have had Fletcher as their striker, we all wanted a fit griffiths. Nobody would have picked bates either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
