O/T Scotland tonight

[GUNBOAT]

Would agree, a must win in the second game of the campaign. Jeez. Scary.

I'd go

Marshall
Palmer Gallacher Hanley Tierney
ChristieMcTominayMcGinnArmstrongRobbo
Dykes

But no chance that's what we'll see

Dykes is not having a good season but he may well still have credit in the bank with Clarke from the euro's qualifying campaign.

True, but he scored for QPR last Saturday and I don't see how Adams should be ahead of him at this point.

Its the age old Scottish problem of finding a striker who is bang in form,over the years very few Scots have scored more than 30 international goals.
I think that was the first goal Dykes had scored in around 20 games,as for McBurnie well me and you have scored as many goals for Scotland as he has Stokie Boy.

I cannot believe McBurnie gets the nod ahead of Shankland, neither in goal scoring form, but Shanks has to be the better player, despite price tag and league differences. Shanks is more than just goals

Israel looking like Brazil against us as per usual,didnie like the stat that Crocker came out with earlier.They have only managed 2 clean sheets from their last 15 games and both of them are v Scotland.

Maybe better qualify that selection

.................Marshall
Palmer Gallagher Hanley Tierney
..................McTominay...
Christie......McGinn.. .Armstrong.....Robertson
..................Dykes

Palmer isn't as phyically strong as O'Donnell but I think he's better in possession and can cross a ball.
I think Clarke will stick with O'Donnell, drop Armstrong for McGregor and start Adams instead of Dykes.
I never felt Hendry deserved to start ahead of Gallagher at CB, maybe Gallagher is carrying a knock, it'll be interesting to see if Hendry starts again tonight.

Tinkerman.
We look stinking

[GUNBOAT]

You would think it was 40c over there,we are plodding about the pitch and not pressing them at all.Hendry out of his depth phuck knows why he's even in the squad never mind the first 11.

Being outplayed especially in midfield. Israel creating chances whilst we seem to be hoping for the best in our infrequent attacks near the box. Lucky we are only 1-0 down. Using the long ball too often and gaining f**k all from them. Am I being harsh - I thought Marshall should have saved the shot for the goal?

He should save it,we could be 4 down and its FN shocking.We need to turn this around or our world cup is over and out tonight.
