Dalgety Bay TA Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 cant wait for fletcher to mess up our only chance by refusing to use this right foot, actually wouldn't be surprised if he "evolves" to trying to punch the ball in rather that use his right I shouldn't but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Let's just get behind the team and then slag them off after they have ####ed up. Having said that Fletcher must be the worst centre forward to ever get over 20 caps for Scotland. But if he gets the winner tonight he will be my hero for ever.

giblet Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I know Naismith is lacking games this season but he is one of our more dangerous players up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B81 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I know Naismith is lacking games this season but he is one of our more dangerous players up front. He didn't show that on Friday (neither did others I know) and why he didn't go to stick ball in net from Maloney's corner instead of jostling with goalkeeper was baffling. Hasn't performed well for us for a while and not playing for his club. 100% behind him being dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hutton ahead of Steven Whittaker? Explain? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McVinceSCT Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I agree with you but think Naismith sould start, mainly because we don't have better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McVinceSCT Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I have a feeling that Strachan will go for a 5-4-1 or 5-3-2 formation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalgety Bay TA Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I know Naismith is lacking games this season but he is one of our more dangerous players up front. Not that we have a ton of other options but he has 5 goals in 39 appearances for us. That doesn't scream "dangerous" to me. He is committed, works his socks off, is a nuisance etc but I don't have him in the "dangerous" category. Then again I don't have any of our attackers in that category.

Dalgety Bay TA Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Marshall Hutton Martin Hanley Mulgrew Brown McArthur Morrison Forrest Maloney S Fletcher ? Hmm.. If Morrison is playing further forward then it will be behind the front man as opposed to wide. I have no idea who Germany will be playing wide right but I am going to assume Strachan never saw Malmo v Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who Germany will be playing wide right but I am going to assume Strachan never saw Malmo v Celtic. Never seen Maloney have a good game out wide. Would've preferred to see Anya left and Forrest right if we're going with pacey midgets. Seriously worry about that back 4 against a good side like Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norsefox Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 So, one player in that team with pace? (and he's only very fast in one direction - if he has to move he's ####ed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjm007 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 but I am going to assume Strachan never saw Malmo v Celtic. Fridays selection proved that too. Brown keeps his place - startling .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint4805 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Feel sorry for Robertson. An easy option to drop because he's a young lad. Hope the experienced guys who should have been dropped prove why they weren't. I think that S Fletcher doesn't work as the lone striker and needs a Rhodes or a Griffiths up top with him but the modern game seems to prefer one striker. The Anya cross on Friday night would have been tailor made for Rhodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Killie Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Whilst I agree that Fletcher is a better option than Griffiths on his own up front, for holding the ball up and linking the play, the best I've seen in recent years playing that role was Naismith away to Macedonia. I would like to see him up there himself again, very good in the air for his size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee-toon-red Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Seems crazy to me that Darren Fletcher doesn't seem to be getting a look in. He's played at a higher level than anyone else in the squad and he's enjoying almost the best run of games of his career so fitness isn't an issue. He's also guaranteed to be the most professional member of the squad and won't be intimidated by Germany. If the team mentioned above is correct, that would make Fletcher fourth choice centre mid at best. That's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint4805 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Does anyone know if Darren Fletcher is actually in good form for WBA or is it a case of anyone rather than Brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well he does merit the chance more than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Does anyone know if Darren Fletcher is actually in good form for WBA or is it a case of anyone rather than Brown? I think he's still captaining the side, playing regularly and doing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B81 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Arguably, Fletcher should be in ahead of Brown who's been honking this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee-toon-red Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'd have Fletcher in before Brown, Morrison or McArthur, not fussed which one misses out for him but since him and Morrison play together for WBA then it seems reasonable to pair them for us given how badly disjointed the midfield looked on Friday.

macy37 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Guys I am not sure why we are doubting....I mean this is a team that is packed with goals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norsefox Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Guys I am not sure why we are doubting....I mean this is a team that is packed with goals..... The Germany squad has 173 international goals in it. Ours has 35. I wonder how long it takes us to score 173 goals? I'm guessing the 1980s Edited September 7, 2015 by norsefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
