Caledonian Craig Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Personally, I would take any win right now - even a last minute winner. The result is everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norsefox Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) 39 minutes ago, JECK said: The fact Italy and apparently Croatia have struggled to slim victories over this mob recently suggests 4-0 to us would be mental. Italy also struggled to beat us 1-0 - despite having 20+ shots and ALL of the possession. 1-0 didn't reflect that game at all.  In fact, Italy only scored more than two once in qualification - against Azerbaijan. Sure, Malta aren't a San Marino or a Gibraltar - but using Italy's shocking inability to score goals as proof that they're decent is stretching it... I reckon 2-0, with a performance better than we expect. Edited September 2, 2016 by norsefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Hunt Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 2-0 Scotland. We will look clueless for about 20 minutes, weather the early storm of home attacks then S Fletcher goal from a corner.  Control remainder of game on dodgy pitch and there are bound to be a few hairy defensive moments before Oliver Burke seals it with a solo run and finish in 79th minute. Job done. Do not want 5 or 6 in case the Ally's Army- esque over-confidence kicks in!!! Mon Scotland!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotlandFanMuir Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Can't see where the spark to score a goal is going to come from, so I'm going for 0-0. Strachan to start as many central midfielders as he can in his midfield 4/5. Hope I'm wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Whittaker, Darren Fletcher and Naismith were playing Premier League. Anyway, our best qualification campaign in recent years (the Euro 2008 one) was hardly crammed full of Premier League players. Many played in the SPL or the English Championship.

thewelk Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Malta +1 Got banana skin written all over it. A perceived diddy team (by scotland supporters and players) that isn't really a diddy team. Away game. 30 degrees. Puffing pink faced scots after 10 mins. Scotlands ancient tradition of f#cking these games up. Banana skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ARE a diddy team.  Whether they're 'well disciplined' or passionate or any other shite.  If you fail to beat Malta then you don't deserve to achieve anything. Just for a note, since 2008 - these are the ONLY teams to have failed to beat Malta in a competitive match: Albania (draw) Georgia (draw) Armenia (won 1-0) Bulgaria (draw) Azerbaijan (draw)  It cannot be emphasised enough how terrible a result not winning would be.
