woof! Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 2 hours ago, Gordopolis said: This Belgium fixture is the first of a double header (Albania NL a few days later), so I'd expect a strong/full squad for this one - Fraser, Armstrong, McGregor, Tierney, Griffiths (if fit), Robbo all included. Problem is whether we actually field any of the above for this friendly or keep them fresh for Albania. I'm a little concerned that it'll have been a full year since anything like Strachan's strong side from the tail end of the Russia qualifiers have been together in Scotland shirts, and I'd be tempted to go full strength to try to re-establish that momentum (if possible) sooner rather than later. Not sure fielding second choices Vs Belgium and taking a scudding will do anything for us, and I'd have some confidence in a strong side at least giving Belgium a game. It’s September, players are fresh and i’m sure both games will be full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally Fraser is 5ft 3.5 in, and Docherty 5ft 8in. I never said the latter was tall. Tierney is a left back and he’s been touted for just about everywhere. Docherty is a champion 400m runner, tailor made for RWB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting a look at some of the fringe players in the Costa Rica, Hungary, Peru and Mexico games, I think the team will be smth like this: --Gordon-- Tierney--Hendry--Mulgrew--Robertson McTominay--Armstrong (or McGinn, depends on Stu's form for Southampton) Forrest--McGregor--Phillips Griffiths (or McBurnie depending on Griffiths match fitness) Pretty much spot on and the team I would go for, if he isn't keen on Tierney at RB then I would possibly have 3 at the back with Tierney dropping into LCB role and have either Forrest or Fraser at RWB, McTominay holding with Armstrong/McGregor/ Phillips in front and the thumb up top.

Your worries about his height don't hold any water. So that’s one player. He won’t play there too often for Bournemouth. The fact that he keeps withdrawing from squads suggests he won’t play there too often for us either. I’m not convinced 5ft 3.5 in is ideal for a defender. I’ll also wager Docherty has played more often in that position than Fraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Why does McTominay start. We are playing two teams in nations cup which we can afford to go and attack. McTominay wrong choice for that. He's a good defensive midfielder and should play against the better teams when we need to counter. Obviously Mr defensive McLeish will pick him; twat of a man.
