 Wouldn't be surprised to see Strachan try and coax Hutton out of retirement.

Might be the best option tbh. He's playing 90 minutes week in, week out and so trying to gt him to un-retire for one game while blooding a new fullback in the friendly seems like the best plan. The next option is.. Liam Palmer from Sheffield Wednesday isn't it. Playing fairly regularly for a club at the right end of the Championship. Jack Grimmer seems to have been dropped for League One Shrewsbury. Donald Love has by all account been pretty terrible for Sunderland.

At lot of people have picked Berra for centre half . If he plays anything like he did last night against non league opposition we're in trouble

I haven't seen much of him recently if I'm honest but I selected him purely on the basis of he can't be any worse than Hanley has been this campaign.

Not the way I'd like to be putting a player's name forward but this is where we are at the moment, especially in defence.

Love? Martin Mulgrew Tierney

Brown Armstrong

Phillips Snodgrass Fraser

Burke

Would be my team. The way Matt Phillips is playing he'd be my first name on the teamsheet. Wouldn't be surprised to see Strachan try and coax Hutton out of retirement.

That's pretty much what I'd go with. Although I would put Martin at RB and bring in whoever the in-form CB to partner Mulgrew.

Phillips has been playing on the left all season?

Burke would worry me up front

he's been coming off the bench into midfield hasn't he?

Will Tierney be back for Slovenia game, thought he was injured for 6 months

No it was never as long as that. I think it was two months at most.

He was back training before the break so will be back in plenty of time for Slovenia.

Anya didn't do anything drastically bad against England so unless there is a friendly and they experiment with someone else who plays a blinder then can't see anyone other than Anya playing right back.

For me Armstrong is more an attacking mid than a central,holding one beside Brown. I would put McArthur in with Brown, and Armstrong in a 3 with Burke and Snodgrass behind a striker.

And Matt Philips and George Boyd deserve to be in the squad at least too

Had it been an away game i'd possibly swap Griffiths for Phillips and play Burke as a striker.

Not bad. Maybe McArthur for Armstrong (who should definitely be in the squad at least) and basically anyone else but Hanley.

I'd go with this:

 

----------------------- Gordon

----- Martin   ------- Berra ---------- Tierney

Anya -------- Brown ------  Fletcher  ---------- Robertson

---------------------- Armstrong

---------- Snoddy

-------------------------------- Griffiths

* Burke as an impact sub

 

But I think he will go with this:

----------------------- Gordon

Anya --------- Martin   ------- Berra ---------- Robertson

---------------- Brown ------  Fletcher  

Ritchie----------------- Morrison ----------------- Forrest

---------------------------- Griffiths

Gordon

Tierney (Worth a try at right back - We have to try and get Tierney and Robertson on the team. 2 cracking prospects)

Martin

Mulgrew

Robertson

Mcarthur

Brown

Anya

Snodgrass

Burke

Griffiths

 

Plenty of pace and flair on the wings, with full backs making overlaps 2 experienced central midfielders hopefully bossing the midfield with Mcarthur supporting attacks. Snodgrass has licence to roam and I would like to pick a in form striker banging the goals in but we just don't have it, so I would go for Griffiths, who will definitely give a the Slovenian defenders no time on the ball, but there is also a case for Naismith or S Fletcher to play upfront.

I do think though that Ritchie is nailed on to start for Strachan, but please not James Forrest. he is an honest enough player and he does put the effort in but he just lacks quality. He is a poor mans Mcgeady and that's saying something.
