Skyline Drifter Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hanley back into defence for McTominay. Christie for Adams (which I'd probably have done even before knowing Adams was out). McGregor / McTominay coin flip in midfield. Otherwise, as you were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'd have Nisbet for Adams, have two proper strikers there instead of a floaty behind Dykes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, including the manager, knows that Gilmour now starts, with McGinn and McGregor. Noticed that gilmour was suffering and being stretched out for cramp after the goal. I wouldn't be surprised if he's rested for this. On the bench if we need him tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know more than anyone that there's no such thing as a sure thing with Clarke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I believe we can actually clinch second place tomorrow night with a win and losses by Austria and Israel. That’s pretty unlikely as Israel are at home to Moldova, but with Austria playing away to Denmark it should hopefully be an opportunity to eliminate them and only need to worry about Israel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie adie Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Id be going nisbet for Adams, Hanley back in defence, with Hendry to bench, I'm concerned by the yellow card situation , Do we encourage some to get booked against Faroes so they use up the suspension against Moldova ensuring they wil be available for Denmark game, Or do we need to make sure we have all the first picks available for Moldova and risk them missing the Denmark game which might be a dead rubber, The chances are those on a yellow at least one or two will get a booking against the Faroes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still competing against all the other 2nd placed teams to get seeded for the playoffs. The strongest team available needs to play in every game. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Buzzing for this already. With Adams out, I’d assume Christie will be his replacement, but it’s tough to know. Could be Fraser but I feel like it’s a game better suited to Christie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I thought Christie looked sharp when he came on last night so I'd have him in for Adams tomorrow. I do like Fraser and he seemed to work well with Dykes when they've played together, but the Faroes will presumably sit very deep tomorrow so Fraser might not have as much opportunity to use his pace and get in behind. The only other change I would have is Hanley in for Hendry, which is probably a bit harsh on Hendry but we need the big stopper back there. I think we'll do the business fairly comfortably here. 0-3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go all out to win the next two and just do your best against Denmark but hopefully with playoffs already secured. Main issue yellows wise is that both RWB options and our two best strikers both are on the tightrope. The striker situation sorts itself with Adams being out, so hopefully he will be back for November. RWB is more concerning, we need to make sure that at most one of SOD and Patterson get booked tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It's an absolute nonsense that 2 yellow cards over 13 games equals a one match ban. I'd say its the same for everyone but it's not as the groups of 5 have 2 less games in which to accrue them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still competing against all the other 2nd placed teams to get seeded for the playoffs. The strongest team available needs to play in every game. Very true. We can secure second place completely disregarding the Denmark game, but it could end up coming down to that one to determine seeding. And we really want to be seeded. That would obviously mean an easier semi-final, but also playing at Hampden. At the moment (and obviously a caveat on that, because it can wildly change, including us not being there) a seeded spot would be a one-off at Hampden against Austria, Wales, North Macedonia, Norway, Ukraine or the Czech Republic. Unseeded would be away to Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland or Albania. A point in that final match could make all the difference, but it could end up coming down to just avoiding a heavy defeat. We're sitting on +4 at the moment, noticeably better than the lower sides, but 2 or 3-0 could change things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win a penalty at 0-4 up and Dykes is on the park, he takes it? Reasonable? Got a couple of down votes for this but according to the Herald, Clarke agrees that Dykes should be off the penalties. My secondary point was that if the game is won and we get a penalty then giving it to Dykes presents an opportunity for him to get back on track and not let his poor penalties be a ‘thing’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie adie Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 My point is should we be using the suspension system to our favour I agree it's a joke that two yellows mean a ban, but that being the case do we use it to our advantage ie play O'Donell in one of the next two and Patterson in the other 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
