andyD Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Think this would be my line-up at this point. Bain Palmer - Bates - McKenna - Robertson McTominay - McGregor Forrest - Armstrong - Tierney Burke Trying Tierney ahead of Robertson. He's used to being a very attacking fulback, so shouldn't be a massive leap, and we don't have a natrual left winger in the squad aside from Fraser. Morgan can do it, Russell can do it. McGregor can do it. Even Bannan's played out there a bit in recent years. So we can change it if it's not working down that side. The rest of the team kinda picks itself for me right now.

Derek Rae is talking mince. About the only interest in the 3. Liga is whether Braunschweig go down to the Regionalliga Nord. 3. Liga is shown only on a subscribe Telekom TV channel.

I'd probably start Russell out left. Don't know much about palmer and for that reason, I have tierney or O'Donnell ahead of him at right back, Other than that - looks good. And certainly good enough to beat Kazakhstan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with that selection. Allows us to fit both Tierney and Robertson in the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Tierney and Robertson are smart enough to interchange down the left. Ideally we’ll see a fair bit of the ball to make it work in an attaching sense. Can’t see McLeish going for it’s though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 My prediction: ------------------------- Bain Tierney - Bates - McKenna - Robertson --------------- McTominay --- McGregor Forrest ----------- Armstrong --------- Russell ---------------------------- Burke Might even interchange Russell with Burke too.

That's the team I would go with. If we win with a decent performance, I would play the same team against San Marino, barring injuries.

Chripper Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Bain Bates McKenna Tierney Palmer Robertson McTominay Armstrong McGinn Forrest Burke --- Since the Plastic Menace has struck I've replaced Fraser with McGinn, and since McBurnie is under the weather I'll choose Burke.

I think Tierney is s distinct possibility. Off the top of my head the, only other option is Mulgrew. I’m furious about the Fletcher situation. It does not bode well for the campaign.

Third Lanark Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 We have to win this one, as Kazakhstan could easily nick a point off Russia, them being local rivals and that. If we have 3 in the bag when Russia go there it puts pressure on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
