Third Lanark Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Maybe Slovakia will be disheartened now so that is definitely must win... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flumax Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Not sure GS can be sacked. Unbeaten so far 6 scored, second in the table (which I'm sure he was asked to get) Plus why pay another manager off and Who do you replace him with.

gusmac Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 A load of sh%te.....Strachan is just looking a bit strange now. Chris Martin......taking Burke off. No other word for it but strange. Still 2nd in the group but we probably need a win in Slovakia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Burke should've stayed on, but let's be honest he was actually pretty shit. Not sure Forrest even touched it apart from missing that sitter right enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 We drew at home with Lithuania - thet's a sure fire sacking offence on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamDav1982 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Burke was doing nothing but stumble over the ball and was not in the slightest bit interested in working defensively. He cant have any complaints. Not sticking up for Strachan though. That was horrendous and they looked better set up and more confident on ball. Guess that happens when Strachan constantly says how poor/average the players are and he has little to work with. Little arrogant twat can get to now.

Big Col Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 poor performance. Late equaliser shouldn't mask that. 2 games in and we're already saying that's it effed. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McVinceSCT Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 By playing for a draw, it's not a surprise it ended 1-1, even if 0-0 would have been more logical. SHAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I don't think we were massively bad tonight - we had about four chances that were within an inch of going in that didn't. If one of those chances had gone in, then the complexion of the game would've been very different. We need to sort out the defence though, Hanley got sucked in too often today - which cost us the goal and nearly cost us a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thought Burke looked our biggest threat. Nuts he went off. Ritchie survived too long. Martin did nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four decent chances is the least should expect vs Lithuania and they had three or four of their own. The ex Hearts player ran riot ffs.

Are there a lot of candidates knocking at the door? who else? feckin anyone - a SPL Championship or 1st Divsvion manager would pick a more coherent squad and play a team that wasnt baffling to the majority of fans. Why not start with Fletcher and Griffiths up front together at home? why pick Martin up front on his own? why take of Burke for Griffiths? Strachan has become the mad king and he seems to be now intentionally making bizarre decisions through entrenchment, you are suggesting on the back of all this there is no one better to replace him? Mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke looked decent going forward, very poor defensively though. Ritchie wasn't great today. Martin had a number of decent chances - the one that he headed just wide, the one that he couldn't reach from Forrest's shot, could've had a first half penalty. Don't think he'll start in Slovakia though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was a lot of pressure for Griffiths to play instead of Martin but I'm surprised Fletcher didn't get the nod, he seems top have been in good form at Wednesday.

JamDav1982 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Cant think of one good moment from Burke. Had a few decent runs but nothing came of them. Think him looking dangerous is more base on what he has abiity to do. He didnt even look interested to me and was lazy as . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Shocking stuff. Lithuania defended and did their job well, so fair dues to them. They didn't create much at all, but took their only chance. The first half was terrible. Two very poor teams playing each other. Burke is young and raw started quite poorly and lost the ball a few times with poor ball control, but had a few decent moments - a baffling substitution as he was starting to get in to the game and is a dangerous player for us to have on. The defence are just a bombscare. Robertson was excellent, but Hanley and Paterson are not defenders. We will always concede goals. Second half was much better, but still we struggled to break them down. McArthur and Griffiths were both excellent when on. Snoddy did ok. Strangely you could say Slovenia winning is a result that went our away, and whilst a draw is a bog-awful-terrible (making up words now, ffs) result it's not the castrophic disaster 1-0 Lithuania would've been. Lithuania are rank though, and we've dropped two points. We HAVE to win now in Slovakia! Did they have the gall to play the shite song after we scored? I hope not.
