Caledonian Craig Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 58 minutes ago, PASTA Mick said: Gordon Patterson, Martin, Berra, Kingsley Morrison, Brown, McArthur Burke, Griffiths, Snodgrass Pretty much spot on for me. Hanley has to be dropped. Kingsley playing at a higher level than Wallace and the rest near enough takes care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Charlie Adam putting the boot into Strachan on Sky Sports News. Hard to disagree with what he's saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to disagree with what he's saying. I can see what he is saying but Adam was gash when selected for us before when he was in a much better vein of form. Basically, I think this is more about him being pi$$ed off about missing what is being perceived as a special match. Never heard him piping up until now - oddly enough.

Well I certainly haven't read anything in the media or online or elsewhere from him on this topic. I will say again that his previous secondary run in the side hardly yelled out that he was meritous of a long run in the side and that was when he was in a far better run of form.

irish Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Did Adam feature much in the last campaign or was he injured? If he's fit and playing he should at least be in the squad given his passing and ability at set pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said something similar a couple of months ago, think it may been in 5 live as well. Edited to add, from June - http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/charlie-adam-baffled-gordon-strachans-8166188 Agree with your initial comments. I can see what he's saying and to be fair to him he did mention others that are playing but yet nowhere near the squad but his form for us bar once half v Spain has been questionable.

He got his chances and failed to add anything extra to the side and fell out of favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but who has "yelled out that he was meritous of a long run in the side"? Absoluetly no-one. He plays fairly regularly in the the EPL and all he was saying was that he considers himself worthy of a squad place. Also teed up by the media to moan about browns de-retirement...... which he was happy to do, and quite right as is a "look at me" move by brown ...... although if brown wins us the game it will be well worth it.

O'Neill would probably play him in a deep position. Would you be hoping for a draw between Slovakia & Lithuania? I'd say that'd be the best result for Scotland so no one's running away with second place. Edited November 8, 2016 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not in favour of Brown's return either but that is done now. Thing is with Adam is this is like deja vu. Fans backing him for a call-up and recall as was the case a few years ago (then pointing to far better league form) and then after a fair few lack-lustre displays they were happy (or at lease far from peeved) when he was axed. Now we are at the same stage again so why is it going to be any different this time when Adam is not in as good form as he was then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same could be said about Jordan Rhodes (well a few months ago anyway) Yes Slovakia/Lithuania draw would be good for us and I'm not convinced Slovenia will have it as easy in Malta as we did. I don't think anyone will in the remainder of the group to be honest. They (Malta) will take a point or 2 off someone at home, somewhere down the line. A defeat on Friday certainly doesn't put is out of the running for second place, once a new man comes in with 4 homes games next year we may be able to salvage it, though I suspect the worst 2nd place could come from our group. I suppose this weekends results could determine that. I'm convinced GS will walk away no matter what happens on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 He is only saying what almost all of us on here have been saying. Strachan has his favourites Its for that reason I hope that win, lose or draw that Strachan will be emptied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Is he gone lads if Scotland lose badly?

A draw and he may still walk but the SFA won't sack him after a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going through the "they've had a chance and done hee haw" route then i'll expect Ritchie, Bannan, C. Martin & S. Fletcher all to be jettisoned too. You could also add a whole host of others who haven't played well in a long time. He should be in the squad IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me Stephen Hawking could get in our squad given our forward options for Austria away on Saturday. Long is a huge loss who can take the pressure off the defence in these type of back to the wall matches. Like youselves we're in big trouble up front and defensively with Clark & Duffy. Either our group given the evenness of the teams and your group will be one of the two groups with the second worst placed team. Slovenia might struggle against Malta away but I think Scotland will have a tough time away to them. They missed some amount of chances against England and should've beaten them.

There was some chat on Radio Scotland last night that some think he will go even if we win. Edited November 8, 2016 by bossman4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
