scottincarlisle Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 We should support the Czechs on this & not play anyone that played last night either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burj_Alba Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Thank God for our gallows humour. Before it was just another qualifier which only us and the czechs would be interested in. Now everybody will want us to lose against their under 12s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigma Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) https://olomoucky.denik.cz/fotbal_region/zapas-lvicat-ve-strani-zrusen-ceska-dvacitka-se-presunula-do-olomouce-20200905.html Google translate should work ok. Essentially, the article mentions the cancellation of the Czech Republic vs Slovakia U20 friendly because some players will be needed for the match on Monday. Also, seems like players will on be picked from clubs in the Moravian region. Edited September 5, 2020 by Sigma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was forgetting the playoffs were over October and November. The Czechs already have a game scheduled for the day after (or it might be before) the playoff finals though.

The just need to replace the original coaches and players. Being expected to win is fine if you win. Surely if the Czechs have to cobble together a new squad from players they wouldn’t normally pick at 2 days notice we will beat them comfortably? If we don’t then serious questions should be asked about the current management and players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Nothing is certain for us, should we come away with the 3 points on Monday we have 4 pts over the two games, my objectives are remain in League B, try a new formation and get Dykes a goal or two and gather enough points to remain a pot 3 team for the World Cup qualification groups. We would be unbeaten in 5 and therefore on a "papier mache" run. We learned Dykes is worthy of the squad, McGinn is our best player, McTominay is no right back or defender in general, our midfield in-spite of looking good on paper is not clicking with the formation we tried out and likely a few players are rusty and lacking sharpness.

Yeh I would say thats a fair analysis, if we can get a confidence boosting win against a depleted Czech and try going back to the old 451 formation to see if we play better then that would be good. 5 games unbeaten and then go into the play off with a bit of momentum.

We got denied a stonewall penalty in that game as I recall. Mind you, it didn't help that McLeish sent an unfit and struggling Darren Fletcher out to play in that game. It was like playing with ten men. Think Alan Hutton was injured or suspended that night too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theabsentee Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I wonder in any eternal optimist was brave enough to have a punt on us last night, i guess we might have been around 8/1 immediately after those 2 performances . We have all missed a nice potential little earner there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs are going to start pulling their players out left right and centre. Frankly I’d can football altogether until we can fill stadia again.
