I think the quality of players and leagues they play in is superior to that of our opponents.... whats yer predictions then? you think moldova and austria will beat us? This is a fair point, we will beat Moldova think we will need to win in Austria , just not sure we have enough quality players needed in these sort of games to make a difference . my worry is a heavy defeat in Denmark will just make it too difficult to come back from.

Look at the group as it stands..... the Denmark game is insignificant as they will win the group.... what we need to focus on is the other teams... teams that are bottom we need to beat then the likes of Austria ... we drew already but NEED to beat them now other wise if they beat the bottom teams they will inevitably go above us..... like i say.... draw or a win for denmark then beat moldova and beat or draw against Austria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton_Peck Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Denmark game going to be really tough as will be a full crowd who will be fully behind team after their Euro campaign. They are a very solid team with exceptional keeper, very good centre backs, attacking full backs and Holberg and Delaney controlling midfield. Poulsen, Dolberg, Braithwaite and Daamsgaard in attack. Will need a Wembleyesque performance to have a chance. Gordon McKenna Hanley Tierney Robbo Fraser Mctominay Gilmour Mcginn Adams Dykes Squad: McLaughlin, Clark, Patterson, Cooper, Gallagher, McClean, McGregor, Turnbull, Armstrong, Forrest, Christie, Wright, Nisbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to 'focus' on each match, including Denmark. IF we are to qualify from where we are now, we need to change the script and do something unexpected, like catching the Danes off guard. Getting a point off Denmark could be as achievable as, if not more achievable than, winning away against Austria IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to work the ball properly, but as others have said, the Croats stepped up and showed their class and we chased shadows. I like souness as he through it back in the faces of the English when they highlighted their failings rather than the very professional Scottish play….. but he is borderline senile in some of his chat about Liverpool trading ground etc….. you can’t use him to prove we played ‘hoofball’ 😂 I think because we play Dykes upfront ppl try and equate that with playing hoofball. I never thought we played hoofball in the slightest over the euros and I think most would agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 If we don't beat Austria in this upcoming game then we will have to beat Denmark at home in the final game assuming most results go as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I predict a defeat in Denmark, draw in Austria and a win against Moldova, which reflects exactly where we are in terms of ability. A top striker would get us a win in Austria but we are sadly lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austria made the last 16 of the Euros losing to Italy after two wins in the group stages and are 26 places above us in the world rankings so we would be doing well to get a draw there. A good win against Moldova and improved performance and we've got a chance of a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not denying they are a decent team and did well at the Euros, but they werent great in all their games, I definitely think we can get a draw there, though with our scoring record will need to be a 0-0 draw 🙄 My concern is the order of the games. From a fitness perspective I would feel more confident if we played Austria before Denmark as we haven’t a hope in hell of getting anything from Denmark anyway.

I think the Danes may be expecting a easy ride and if clarke is savy to this he could go for it. there is no point playing the old defensive style as the points are not being counted for us second place runners. lets just go 442 against the danes. big dikes holing the ball and che running off them. two old school wingers running the lines! Come on Scotland! play like you are playing the english and we could get a result against the danes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I was expecting our squad to be announced today, we have a game in a little over a week.
