Malcolm Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 14 minutes ago, The Black Bra said: If it’s true about the withdrawals along with the players we’re already missing, not sure we could switch to a back four. Wouldn’t we need wide midfielders/wingers? Could Patterson play tonight? you don’t have to play wide midfielders to play a back four. For example a diamond. Strachan, jim bett, john Collins, Scott brown all played in wide mid positions but didn’t play like wingers. Strachan was more like an inside forward.

Apparently Kazakhstan are on the verge of being promoted to League B. Any more performances like Saturday's though and we'll be passing them on the way down! Seriously, Armenia must have watched that and wondered how the fuck they fared so badly against us last week. I expect we'll see a different performance from them tonight. After Saturday I'd take any kind of win against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide players of the Davie Cooper/John Robertson variety are pretty much a thing of the past now anyway. We've only really Ryan Fraser who fits that bill nowadays. Considering we have a lot of central midfielders nowadays a diamond midfield could be a viable option. We have actually played a diamond a couple of times under Clarke, usually when we've been chasing games. 36 minutes ago, marinello said: Very good question which I honestly don't know the answer to.

We’d still be a point behind Ukraine. I’m sure they would fancy getting at least 4 points off us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak91 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 If we don't win tonight Clarke can stay in Armenia. Regardless of what injuries we have, there is no excuse for us not to be winning this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Rockefeller Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Team announced: Gordon Patterson McTominay Hanley Hendry Taylor McGregor Gilmour McGinn Armstrong Adams Looks like McGinn and Adams will play however their form has been. Both have been brutal this series of matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThistleWhistle Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I've ended up spending £15 purely for the Ireland game as have to take the wee lass to activities tonight - hopefully prove me wrong but at the moment absolutely not bothered missing it and the team has done nothing to increase my enthusiasm. Unless this is an absolute cluster-fuck though wouldn't be considering Clarke's head - 6 points would be a decent return but always felt 3-4 was more realistic following Ukraine game.

jcs Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 WTF Hanley and McTominey in defence again, seriously, i cant believe how Clarke can think of even going down that route i cant believe how stubborn Clarke is, a blind man can see that just is not working, i hope for the best but fear the worst tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Is it possible for us to end up in pot 4 for the euros if we continue to balls this group up? Can't be arsed trying to work it out, thought someone on here might already know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Maybe McTominay will play in midfield and it's a back four ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you are saying in terms of expectation levels after the poor Ukraine game but see with the group of players we have, I honestly believe that anything less than 7 points from these 3 games is a disappointment. If we believe we should be getting to major tournaments with this squad, we must set our sights higher than 6 points against Armenia x 2 and ROI. If we are settling for 6 points from these 3 games then we deserve not to make a tournament for a further 23 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Can’t pretend I’m not disappointed with that team selection. However 3 at the back might be ok tonight, above all we need a performance and a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviebee Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'm not sure just how sh*te our midfield needs to play before Turnbull gets a chance. I'd like to see Campbell in there too - I bet he'd at least look like he gave a fck about being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
