Indeed. We’d only need to beat the Czechs and avoid a hiding to go through probably. However if there is a way to go out by a wafer thin margin, we’ll find it.

It is the hope that kills you.

It’s a disaster that. 

It is a bit, he's both a defender and an attacker, a danger to the opposition because they can't mark him.

Tierney out, massive blow for us, but i would've went with Adams upfront, but hayho, it is what it is.

c'mon Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Happy birthday Callum MacGregor! Dropped 😀

 

Correct decision though. Tierney being out is a big, big loss though.

Yep. It’s ultra conservative.

Which is Clarke’s strength as a manager, but also his weakness.

He might be wavering towards the truth....

Is it a disaster though , Tierney has looked ok going forward for us but maybe without having him there the balance will be more natural? Positives guys positives

How long do we continue to play Marshall on the back of penalty save. Rubbish against Austria and Israel yet still in team? It's like starting game a goal down.

Not sure on some but Gordon fits in as keeper.

Tierney out is a blow,  particularly as his runs forward create so much space for our forward players.

Adams is a better forward but think Dykes there to help defensively as CZ very strong at set pieces

I'm unsure if it's because we have not been to a finals or so long or whether we actually have a half decent side this time but the optimist in me is beginning to take over

 

However history teaches you to just hold back and think again

 

Can we win at least one of our two 'home' ties....yes and we have  good chance to get to the last 16, no and it will be the same old story from years gone by

 

I want to join in with much of the country and just predict victory in one of the ties but the side will need to do what all previous sides have not

 

Lady luck must give us a break sometime

 

PS Armstrong seems to ne ignored but for me he should be  playing

 

Might have been mentioned but what previous sides have done will probably be enough to get through the group stage this year.

that’s a horrendous side. Tierney injured can be accounted for but there’s no pace and no creativity. Defenders all over the pitch. 
 

pish

I think this game is our best chance of a win and I would have liked to see Forrest and Adams starting

Have to say I'm disappointed with that XI. We only play with a back 5 so Tierney and Robertson play together. With Tierney out surely having an extra man in midfield or, another striker would be more attacking. We've essentially lost an attacking threat and replaced it with an extra defender.

Marshall and O'Donnell to me are based on loyalty, Adams is a better player than Dykes, I reckon he could do anything Dykes can in terms of team style. Armstrong used to be the first name I looked for, but not anymore. 

 

Kind of team I would have expected on Friday, not one to take the bull by the horns, but I have huge respect for Clarke, even if I believe this was a great opportunity to continue the Scotland rebrand, he has gone for the meticulous

Would have played Che Adams from the start. 

 

Far better player than Dykes imo.

Dykes is in to combat the Czech aerial threat.

Thats a great point, dropping out a centre half for Che Adams would completely transform that team

Playing Stephen O'Donnell when you found Nathan Patterson is the biggest wtf for me.

Yup exactly.

Tierney out means we can have another taller defender so might actually help us

(trying to be optimistic but failing!)

A bit disappointed with that.  Knew he would play Marshall so no surprise with that but still the wrong decision, play the man in form and the one who’s been a better goalkeeper for the best part of 2 decades ffs!

 

Cant understand Dykes instead of Adams, that’s bizarre - another case of blind loyalty?  Play the striker that’s playing and scoring goals at a higher level, surely?

 

At least Armstrong is playing instead of McGregor..

He was struggling to keep in the derby county team yet Steve Clarke considers Marshall deserves a start

Having trained and played for months in that formation it would be suicide to change it because Tierney is injured - even if that was the reason for the formation.

 

We don’t know when the injury was but the squad will have been training that formation the past few weeks.
