The Algebraist Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I think we'll score tonight. Been a good while since we haven't at Hampden. The question is how many will they score? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzler Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Desmond 2-2. Dykes to score to take the lead, then we will concede 2 sloppy goals, then a heroic Jacob Brown last minute equaliser Edited March 28, 2023 by bobbydazzler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I can't think of any genuinely baldy Scotland players since Naismith (Dykes doesn't count and Porteous is trying to fight against it). Scott Brown? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Wasn't fully focused watching the Spain game on Saturday night, but they're typical of a lot of modern elite sides in that they'll stay quite wide in buildup, typically with a sole DM but one of the other midfielders sometimes joining Rodri, but flood the central area once it's progressed while keeping extreme width through either wingers or the full-backs. Laporte and Nacho played plenty of switches to use that width too. The back five will at least let us match up in the last line and hopefully Hickey and Robertson can get out a bit quicker to those switches, but there's always the concern with a back five that the opposition pins your WB and you can't engage. Especially bad in a 5-3-2, although that would in theory match up with Spain, but can still be an issue in a 3-4-3/5-4-1. Gonna be a long night, but with the right shape, mentality and some luck, we've proven that we can get results against bigger teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'm weirdly optimistic about tonight. The weather, the crowd, the pitch and Spain having a couple of key players out. 2-1 Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have waited so long for an emphatic win against a “power nation” and the stars are aligning. Yep, I have been drinking. Since midday. Bookmark the shit out of me.

Bairnardo Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I too have a wee sneaky feeling. I'm not feeling the usual cocktail of fear/anxiety here. Certainly not as I did when the draw was made. Don't show this mob too much respect. If everyone does their job I think a full Hampden can push us on to a tight win here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I think the Georgia score tonight could be more important for us than our own. I reckon we'll lose and Spain will take full points in the group. If Georgia take anything tonight it puts us in such a strong position. Obviously though I'm praying we get something against Spain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 It’s rare that a team goes through a qualifying campaign with a clean sweep. Out of ~10 or so groups in a campaign you’ll see it once, maybe twice at a push. Sometimes it doesn’t happen at all. We need to get out the mindset of assuming that our top seed will take maximum points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
