rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 So I have taken on the impossible job of leading Scotland to glory. I am going to clear out the dead wood and try to use a younger squad where possible. The computer hasn't given me a great start with them losing in Cyprus but hopefully can claw that back. Think it will be the next qualifying campaign before we see results but fingers crossed. Will be playing this save once a week but should be able to rattle through a few games quickly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 So first Squad named for a big match at home against Cyprus. Really should be a win but who knows. Tried to get rid of the older players but there is only so much you can do straight away. Already lost 2 young players to other counties. The game makes such a big deal about this for players that are miles from playing Luis Appere has decided to play for France and Dapo Mebude had jumped ship to the English. Both will probably come crawling back when they don't get a game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Went about as well as could realistically have dreamed. John Mcginn was absolutely brilliant and we could have easily scored 10 Absolutely no chance of qualifying which is a shame but things already look better San Marino up next so will probably stick with the same team and win 1-0 Edited April 21, 2020 by rovers271194 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Good luck Interested to see what keeper ends up your long term number one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Absolutely brilliant. This team has loads of goals in them although I couldn't have asked for an easier start. next up is Belgium away followed by Russia at home. Russia running away with the group and within 3 points of Belgium but no chance that is happening. Oli Burke was brilliant after coming off the bench so will be a good replacement for Forrest. Hope to have Tierney back at right back for the next games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it looks like Liam Kelly will have it long term unless someone else shows up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Squad for the games against Belgiium and Russia John Mcginn, Andy Robertson and Steven Naismith all had long term injuries so have replaced them with Tierney, Fleck and Shankland. To be fair they all probably deserved to be in the squad anyway. I do fear the worst for these games though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 The result was expected but we created a lot of chances but their goalkeeper was brilliant Long way to go before we can show any progress against decent teams Hopefully put up a good show against Russia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 opted for Griffiths up front instead of Mcburnie to see if he can hold the ball up better. This will be a big test 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Absolutely dominated but didn't create many chances. Definitely missing Robertson and McGinn. Next up is San Marino at Hampden and away to Kazakhstan so hopefully 6 points to end it before the draw for the World Cup At least I have a play off to look forward to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Moved Tierney to right back to get rid of O'Donnell and gave Greg Taylor his debut. Another easy win. Hope we can do better than the actual result in the last game against Kazakhstan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Given Liam Kelly his debut and rested Ryan Christie. Hopefully get the win to finish 3rd in the group 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Managed to finish third after a comfortable win. SFA already saying they will begin to look for my replacement unless things pick up which I think is a bit harsh considering the start the AI gave me. Happy with the start so hopeful for the playoffs and hopefully a good draw for the world cup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 This is the team chosen for the biggest game in 20 years. Not ideal due to injuries but hopefully good enough Come on Scotland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Fairly straight forward despite going down to 10 men late on. Serbia in the final at Hampden which is an unexpected bonus Difficult game but definitely better than the real life scenario 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers271194 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Bollocks. We just didn't perform at all. Hopefully get a break in the world cup qualifiers but I doubt it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysartrovers Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Forgot to add that James Forrest's early penalty miss didn't help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
