Griffiths, Christie, Forrest and McGregor were rank against us, also a Championship team, yet three of them are (rightly) in the squad and many are lamenting Griffiths' absence. Are San Marino worse than Dunfermline? The point wasn't to be critical of Shankland's performance. The point was it's ludicrous to say he'll do fine against San Marino, as a matter of fact given he's prone to off days like every other player in the world. It's ludicrous to think the service he will get playing for Dundee utd is comparable with what he will get playing for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misunderstood due to the sheer number of folk who jumped on him not scoring Friday night as some sort of indicator that he shouldn't be given a chance. 1 minute ago, 19QOS19 said: 1 hour ago, BingMcCrosby said: It's ludicrous to think the service he will get playing for Dundee utd is comparable with what he will get playing for Scotland.

19QOS19 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Maybe that's his point!No, not at all. I found it pretty cringeworthy that folk were laying in to Shankland after a quiet performance tbh. I want it to work for the guy, I just have concerns that in the 'backs to the wall' games, he'll not be much use. He needs service and chances in and around the box, something that wont be in abundance while playing for Scotland unfortunately. In response to your second post, aye, I've maybe picked bing crosby up the wrong way [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Marshall Odonnell Mulgrew Findlay Robertson Mcginn Mcgregor Mctominay Forrest Christie Fraser Probably play burke up top though coz of the height and pace. Centre half is a major problem, don't want mulgrew in there but if not we'll have 2 guys with 0 caps playing. Findlay in instead of devlin because he's fast for a cb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that team, it probably gets our best players on the pitch that we have available. He would get pelters for not playing with a striker and would also get pelters for leaving out Christie so he cant really win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On thursday we wont have much of the ball so when we get it we need to get it forward and keep it. We wont do this with that front three. Sadly i am not sure what the other option is. It will be russell and we will get pumped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The flat 3 in the middle didn’t work in the last 2 games. Get McTominay and someone else sitting in front of the defence with Armstrong or Christie further forward to hopefully stop whoever’s up front from being cut off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, it'll be Burke up front in Russia and Shankland against San Marino. McBurnie being as far away from the Scotland squad is the best thing for us.

Gordopolis Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Shite that these games were supposed to be about 'finding the right mix' for our problem areas of defence and striker, yet both areas have been utterly rinsed by call-offs. Finally some mumblings about McKenna being called up according to BBC sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwelumo also had a good scoring record in the Championship and also had a brief spell in the English Premier League. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
