gkm_vancouver Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Everything crossed this could be another historic game with a WC place at stake. Worth starting a thread to keep up with the game. I'm going to stick my neck out for a 2-0 win🥴 and hope we keep our nerve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I've just clipped my nails so I won't be able to bite them tonight. Please, please, don't let's have any more last minute dramas. An early goal - not too early - is what we need for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I like the look of the team. Nisbet and Brown could both come on later to provide more firepower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blantyre_Braveheart Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Armstrong seems a rather strange choice. Especially if he is employed as a makeshift striker or playing just off the ST. Surprised it isn't Nesbitt instead tbh. Given we've struggled for goals, it might be a change to 5-2-2-1 that helps fashion more chances. Hopefully get an early goal and settle everything.

Tartan blood Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I'm quite surprised at how many on here, and across the internet, seemed to have convinced themselves that Brown would have started. When has Clarke ever brought in someone new and immediately put them directly into the first 11? Maybe with the exception of Covid crises, though maybe not even then. This is the team I expected, but wouldn't have chosen myself. I'd have had Turnbull ahead of Armstrong, but i understand why he has gone with this 11.

noctonjock Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Not a lot of quality to come off the bench if we're struggling. Maybe try Brown last 20 if we're in need of a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have played Turnbull or another striker ahead of Armstrong. I really cant see what he offers in a game we really should be attacking. Apart from the Tierney Robertson switch against Denmark it's hard to fault Clarkes team selection, hopefully he's got it right again.

He's actually done that several times.

GaryWood34 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Armstrong owes us a performance big time. Find it hard watching him after 2-2 Hampden v England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryWood34 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 What a year eh. This time last year we had qualified for nothing for 20+ years and one year on with competition football under our belt we are 90 mins away from a playoff with a game to spare.

I know we've had a few call offs but I don't think we need to sink the depths of calling up Rab C. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the nations league has played a major part in that. We are a lot closer in the amount of competitive games we have played as opposed to other countries that were making playoffs and tournament finals. Just compare how important a lot of our recent games have been compared to the last 20 years when our chances of qualification were done and dusted long before the final game. This is our most important game since the last one seems to mean something these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how much the squad has improved when you think that Brophy, Findlay and Devlin are no longer involved. Also blows out the water the theory that Clarke is too loyal and conservative. He is changing the squad by evolution not revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Armstrong is the surprise inclusion but hopefully he can link up really well with his club mate and it is not edge of the seats stuff. Take our chances and we should be fine. COME ON SCOTLAND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I always feel we look better with two up front… so slightly surprised and concerned by this.hoping the two play well up the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThistleWhistle Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This formation looked really crap vs Faroes. The two behind the front man just seemed to make everything really narrow and condensed in the middle of the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brophy vs. Cyprus Devlin vs. Russia Fleck vs. Russia Findlay vs. San Marino Gallagher vs. Cyprus Dykes vs. Israel Turnbull vs. Netherlands I stand corrected! Turnbull's was most likely due to that mini-covid crisis we had though. The rest, I would say was Clarke going through a period of trying to find his best team. We are much more settled now and I love that we have a large core of players, with only small tweaks needing to be made here and there.
