Burj_Alba Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Think we will do well in these games. Glad the Austria game is the first of the three, wish we weren't playing Israel at all ( but could win this) and fairly confident of three points against the Faroes.

Taylor1996 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think we'll get 4 points. Loss to Austria. Draw with Israel. Win against Faroe Islands. Hopefully the Old Firm match gets cancelled and we have some fresh players going into the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scot1 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I wish the ties were the other way around, Faroes first. It would give us the opportunity to adjust the team and introduce a few new faces into the 1st team. Because it’s my belief that I’ve we don’t reconfigure the team and bring in some new players, we won’t get off to the start that’s needed to qualify. We’ve struggled against Israel, we’ve beat them, they’ve beat us, draws. But the games are tight, and could go either way. I’d imagine that both Austria and Denmark are better teams than Israel. If Clarke sticks with the same players in the 1st team, in the same positions as he’s done recently, then I think we’ll struggle to get 4 or 5 points, which isn’t enough, in my opinion we need at least 7 from these 3 games. He needs to move McTominay into midfield, move McGinn back, put Hendry (or Hanley) in right-centreback. And probably drop Robertson and put in Cooper, push Tierney to Left-wingback. Drop SOD for Rooney. These changes are needed against Austria and Israel. For the Faroes we can bring in fringe players and other new faces, Turnbull, Paterson, Gilmour Edited March 12, 2021 by Scot1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 In light of the recent news with Austria's squad, I want to change my response to three wins. We should be in a better state to play Israel and I am predicting we win there, in the last two years I believe we have seen the best they can play, but they have haven't seen the best we can play.

wanderer Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Austria, 1-0 win (as long as we treat this game with respect and do not look to much into the weakened Austrian side). Israel, 1-1... two sides that know each other like the back of their hands these days, but as long as we can keep Solomon at bey, we might finally get something out there. Faroes, 2-0 (I think Clarke might go into this game a bit more relaxed depending on how the other two games went and use the chance to try out players who are just on the fringes of the Euros squad).

Third Lanark Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Israel always worries me. We never seem to learn how to cope with Dabbur and especially Zahavi. And this time no Alan McGregor to bail us out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Zahavi getting game time and in among the goals for PSV, 8 goals in 2021, so he is on form, but Dabbur not played much in the last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Will Israel have a crowd, what with their vaccine roll-out success? I hope Patterson is in the squad and think Nisbet might sneak in over Shankland. Griffiths will probably find a way in as an option for the last ten when it becomes patently obvious that my target of 9 points is hopelessly unrealistic.

weekevie04 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The Austria news is obviously a huge boost for us, but then again we really struggled to beat a Czechia C team under similar circumstances. Although in a way, its almost an even trade off : we get a home game that would have been rammed probably (having just qualified for a tournament) or we get a weakened team in our empty stadium. I'm a bit worried about upfront, TBH, and none of our main men are in form at all. If Dykes turned out to be a David Healy type player e.g an absolute hero for his country and mediocre for his clubs, then I'll be happy with that ; but have no idea who we put up front at all going on form! Austria 2-1 win. We'll concede at some point, and it'll be very a tough game. We'll hopefully get ourselves over the line and we really should be aiming for three points considering the number of players who will be missing. If we stink the place out but win, I'll be happy TBH, to just get off to a start. Israel - we really struggle here and you could argue against them. I'd happily take a draw, but fear we'll end up losing 2-0 or so. Faroes - ever-improving and they will be a hard opponent. We'll hopefully manage to win 3-0 and it'll be a decent week, but could have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could pick up 7 points (which isn't unrealistic considering the Austria situation) then we could be in a great position. Denmark have 2 really tough away matches. We will know just how good they are after we see how many points they get. If we do beat Austria, they'll need to get something against Denmark or they are already playing catch-up. If my predictions are correct (and they certainly won't be) it would be - 7pts - Scotland 5pts - Denmark 5pts - Israel 4pts - Austria September fixtures 1 Denmark v Scotland Faroe Islands v Israel Moldova v Austria You'd expect Denmark, Israel and Austria all to win. September fixtures 2 Faroe Islands v Denmark Israel v Austria Scotland v Moldova I'd expect Denmark and Scotland to win. No idea about Israel / Austria.

weekevie04 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I reckon whoever takes maximum points in Moldova, Israel and the Faroes will win the group. Denmark have done it, so its over to us. A draw is not the end of the world considering we've got the Danes twice and we'll see what Austria-Denmark do on Wednesday; but we really could do with a win! It'll be a tough game and they've shown in our past encounters, that there's nothing between us. To state the obvious, if you want to go to the World Cup then you need to beat teams like Israel away!

Did Austria have loads missing last night or were the travel restrictions lifted given likes of Dragovic and Alaba from Bundesliga still featured?
