DAFC. Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 He'll 100% stick with the same team, but I would have hoped Bannan would be dropped out and replaced with McGregor. Don't know what else the guy has to do to get in the team. He's been a big player for Celtic and is playing in the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednyella Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 For once wouldn’t it be nice if we can have a 2-0 or 3-0 win and comfortably see a game out as the fans celebrate an amazing win. But It probably won’t happen and we’ll all be pacing back and forth until it peters out in glorious failure yet again. 0-0 or 1-0 Slovenia is probably more realistic.

Paco Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Any win will do. To be honest I think the same team is probably about right, provided Bannan/Morrison show a bit more desire to help out Fletcher as they did on Thursday night. We'll be under the cosh a bit more, you'd expect. Can't win the game if we go gung-ho from the off and lose a couple. A couple of early Slovakia goals would perversely be welcome too, to extinguish any vague hope the Slovenians have. This is going to be torture. Not totally confident we can do it but if we do fail to win I hope we at least go down swinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point, but there's evidence all over the squad that you don't need to be playing regular football to be involved in the Scotland first XI. Anya, Robertson, Hanley, Snodgrass v England in June etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not convinced a player who's club manager doesn't trust to play 90 mins against the likes of Dundee, is someone who deserves to be starting away from home in a vital must win match.

If the game is still a draw after 60 minutes Mcgregor is perfect to come on and get the goal we need,it would be a surprise if Strachan started him.he played the full 90 against Hibs with 2 goals.

accies1874 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I would’ve liked Fraser in for Phillips, but that’s obviously not happening. Other than that, the team should largely stay the same with Morrison getting forward more, much like the second half on Thursday. Oblak is absolutely incredible, but I’ve seen him make some mistakes for Slovenia that he wouldn’t for Atletico. I’m not sure whether it’s because he’s playing with worse players or not but just doesn’t seem as comfortable with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher is in that team. If that's the line-up is expect Bannan to be on the left, allowing Robertson to get forward outside of him, Phillips on the right to give natural width there and Griffiths playing off Martin. Can't see Griffiths and Tierney both playing on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern for this game is the mental fatigue from Thursday if we start the same 11,i couldn't careless who scores the goal to win the game.

pandarilla Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Div usually knows the team, right?I'll be shocked if Martin starts and Forrest doesn't. But Strachan has seen them train since Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The biggest thing that needs sorted from Thursday is the amount of space we allowed Slovakia to have in front of our defence. 4-5 times they easily worked the ball in to the 'number 10 position', despite us playing with 3 central midfielders and them playing with 10 men. Fletcher dreams a lot of the time, and neither Bannan or Morrison are particularly aware defensively. We'll be sitting back a lot more tonight so that space will probably be closed off naturally, but we still need to be more aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 2-0 Slovenia. I wouldn’t put my mortgage on it, but I’m sadly confident that’ll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
