noctonjock Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 9 points would be nice for remaining games and get Griffiths back in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I would like to try and treat these games as if we are still trying to qualify and get 9 points and bring Griffith's in so that we are ready for the play offs. Build some momentum and establish a stable team that will be the bedrock of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchart Circle Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Let's drop the admission to £15 and get a good turn out rather than embarrassingly low attendances. Oh, forgot that the season ticket holders would complain then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Need to get a couple of young players introduced to the senior team. And for anyone who thinks "they huvnae served their 'apprenticeship' yet" stick it up your arse. Give McLaughlin and MacGillivray a home game each in goal.

todd Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 What the hell are you all talking about? 12 points from the next 4 games and Russia to lose to Belgium and Cyprus and we'll sneak second spot! Jeez the negativity on here 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The same thing we should be trying every game, trying to win. By all means bring some younger players into the squad but no time to be fannying about with the play offs not far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I really hope Burke does well in Spain. We’re lacking a player who can give the opposition trouble by being able to take several players out the game with a burst of power and pace. I can’t say I’m optimistic, but I’m hoping.

romanticscot Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 We should permit ourselves some experimentation to solve our issue then make decisions based on the info we have. McLeish seemed to be all over the place until the campaign started and by that point morale was totally wrecked because of the heavy losses in those dumb friendlies in America. The problem areas are ..... everywhere lol. Formation, right back, central defence, Tierney placement, attack and in the mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 What to do at right back ..... Soldier on with Stephen O'Donnell and hope for the best ? Kieran Tierney ? Ryan Jack ? Ross McCrorie ? Surprise re-call for Danny McGrain ? A. N. Other ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket prices are scandalous for Scotland games, to watch us getting humped on a fri/mon and asking the general public to pay £35 for the privilege for it. Hampden is a soulless bowl with the worst stands behind the goal known to man. Feck, you're closer to kilmarnock than you are to the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was injured then it is obviously a concern, and not much can be done about it. If he's missing games because he can't get in the side, I think (given our lack of options in the striking dept) we should still look to play him. Celtic are a stronger side than Scotland, hence he might not be figuring as much as we'd like. Our (excuse the oxymoron) "strength in the depth" is so weak, that if some our best players aren't playing week to week for their club sides, I don't think we can afford to let it bother us.

Sorry but I just cant agree with that. I would love to have the Griffiths of two years ago available, but there is no proof what so ever that he is any were near that good at the moment. We have McBurnie who was very good in the championship and is now playing in the EPL, Paterson who played and scored goals as a striker in the EPL last season and Phillips can play there too. Probably Forest or Russell as options too. Forgot about Burke So poor as our options might appear they are not non existent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBurnie, as you rightly say was banging in goals in the English Championship, but has woeful in a Scotland shirt. Phillips likewise. Forrest too in all honesty (Nations league games apart). These guys are letting us down. Griffiths on the other hand has shown plenty in a Scotland shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
