andyD Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 According to the record: Marshall Hutton, Martin, Hanley, Whittaker Brown, D Fletcher Forrest, Naismith, Ritchie S Fletcher http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scotland-stick-steven-fletcher-lead-6597136 Based on this, it feels like we're setting up to try and contain Poland, and sneak a 1-0. Don't know if that's the best plan honestly, but aww well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyD Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Well, Whittaker or Robertson. Robertson's the attacking options. Whittaker will probably sit and doesn't have a good enough left foot to delivery early from that flank. Whittaker's the more experienced defender tho, so to me that choice is definitely favouring defense at the expense of attack. Darren Fletcher won't get forwards like McArthur has been for Crystal Palace, he's going to sit, defend, move the ball on. I'll be surprised if he finds himself in the last 3rd in open play. Ritchie retains the ball more than Maloney does. Maloney will try a thru ball or take a man on, often giving it away, Ritchie (from his previous games for us) tends to roll it back to center mid or his fullback if there's no immediate option on. Those are the reasons for my thinking anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyD Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Could well be. Part of me would much rather it was a win or nothing tonight. Fingers crossed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
