Salt n Vinegar Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Well, this thread has taken a strange turn... With Dykes out, (matron!) how will our - what some countries refer to as - "forward line" or "attack" shape up? I understand that nobody else is being called in to the squad. If Adams gets injured, will we go for the Craig Levine 4-6-0 "Norway solution"? Edited June 5, 2022 by Salt n Vinegar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Armenia changed system for their victory over Ireland yesterday and potentially will continue that against us at Hampden. Maybe a bit of a handy heads up for Steve Clarke. Quote Obviously we’ve watched Armenia, studied their last 20 games. They’ve only played 5 at the back once against Germany. They’ve never played 5 at the back before, they always play 442. Stephen Kenny https://youtu.be/sIrDS1XBG1g?t=61 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Adams to presumably start on Wednesday, and be replaced at half time (when I’d hope we would be leasing). Stewart is going to get decent time now. That’s fine, but we can’t be making wholesale changes behind him. No point throwing in a new striker whilst experimenting with wing backs and midfield at the same time. I imagine Christie starts, probably also alongside O’Donnell, Souttar, and McKenna. McTominay may start in midfield ahead of Gilmour (who doesn’t look match fit). Armstrong, Turnbull, Stewart, Taylor, Brown(?) to get game time. Perhaps even a keeper change if it’s comfortable. A huge amount is determined by what the score is and when… we really could do with being out of sight by 60 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-raising Lazarus Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Having recovered somewhat from the utter scunner I had on Wednesday, Campbell might be a good addition to the midfield, if a high pressing game suits him perfectly, and would maybe give the midfield a bit of bite, whilst replacing Cooper with Hendry or souttar should allow more play to start from the defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought that was a daft thing to say, but regardless if Steve Clarke was basing his set up on the last 20 games Armenia have played it might give him food for thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 One thing with Ross Stewart is that it’s concerning to me that Souttar was going on as a centre forward ahead of him on Wednesday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I really assumed Souttar was just to replace Hanley after the cut to his head before he decided to just play on. Think people are turning that into something it isn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Seen quite a bit of Jacob Brown in season just gone and he has always looked pretty good actually. Has a nice clean, crisp strike of the ball. I'm surprised he hasnt had any substantial game time with the national team yet. I'm hoping he can get a start somewhere in the next 3 games to properly see him in action with the Scotland players and formation. I think he will come good if given a shot. Clarke indicated there is likely to be a few more drop outs once they have assessed things after weekend. Would hope for a couple of replacements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that a guy who has managed to get 22 caps in less than 2 years is not committed to Scotland? People do get actual injuries in football mate.

Would hope for a couple of replacements Brown appears to be ahead of Stewart in the pecking order but I suppose things could have changed in this camp. I've seen very little of either since Stewart went down south so hopefully they get more than cameos in the upcoming games. You'd imagine at least one will play a decent amount. 1 hour ago, Donathan said: Even still, Hanley was playing as a centre forward. If he did need replaced surely Stewart would be the preference I was thinking about this after the game and wondered if extra-time played on Clarke's mind. If the CB up top worked then we would've equalised, taking the game to extra-time where we could then slip back into a more normal formation. If Stewart replaced Hanley then we'd be going into extra-time with an imbalanced side, perhaps having to sacrifice one of our better players to get a centre-back on. Tbh I'd have taken the risk and brought a striker on (I also reckon Hendry could have been a better makeshift striker than Hanley) but I wonder if Stewart would've made an appearance if there was no prospect of extra-time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 If the game had gone to extra-time I reckon we'd have won about 5-2 regardless. They were totally gone physically at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
