But he plays in the Premiership so he must be good Pretty obvious that some of our players in the Championship/SPFL are better than some of our Premiership players.

Woooaaahhhh there. You can't say that! Everyone knows SPFL and it's players = utter shite and EPL = super duper, best league and players in the world, give Sky £120/month to see them.

wellyman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We need two guys out wide who will work and tackle , I would go for Anya or Phillips and Fraser on the other side. I don't get all the hype about Snodgrass and as for Forrest he can not tackle a geriatric gnat , so get them out. Game plan, stop the English full backs getting forward and get Broony to stand on that guy who advertises his local "Deli" - he is a temperamental wee p***k and can easily lose it, target the 2 centre halves and Head & shoulders in goal - Scotland 3 England 1 - job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser is on the form of his life playing at a high level. He deserves the chance to shine and I think he would shine in a game like this.

Marky Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I don't get all this "I don't get all this Snodgrass hype" bollox. In my opinion Snodgrass was well worth the hype based on his EPL form and I totally dispute that he has never been good for Scotland. Especially when you factor in what has constituted "good for Scotland" in the last 15 years. What I DO accept is that for the last few months in both the EPL and for Scotland he has been utter guff and if that form doesn't improve he deserves to be dropped. Let's not re-write history tho.

weekevie04 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I like Snodgass, but he's been off the boil for the past few games and I believe likewise at West Ham. 3 months though until the next game and hopefully he's found his form again. When he's on his game, he's a huge asset for Scotland like the Malta game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'd guessed Bardsley was out the picture because Strachan doesn't like him. Does he not have a bit of a reputation as a billy big time? His wife is in "the real housewives of Cheshire". i presume he has tattoos aswell. He's everything Gordon Strachan doesn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His history for Scotland has been good and he has been one of the better performers during a low period but at this moment in time he is not in that type of form and against England we will require people who can work up and down and that is not Snodgrass at this time.

Rab The Crab Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'd start with pretty much the same team from Sunday, if everyone's fit that is. Only changes would be Fraser in for Forrest and McArthur in for Morrison. Got to hope once Celtic win the league Griffiths gets a decent run of games and goals before 10th June as my only criticism would've been that he was trying too hard to break his duck on Sunday.

fringo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just now, Malcolm said: Bardsley back in please... best rb we have. After Tierney's performance on Sunday I'd happily have him start at RB again. Tierney at RB also means Robertson can slot in at LB and these 2 guys should be starting every game for the next few years. Anya also did well v Canada and ok v England so, much to my own surprise, I'd pick him there ahead of Bardsley, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I agree Tierney did well on Sunday, but i wouldn't want to rely on him there every game. Prefer he played his own position really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer he played his own position really. I wouldn't have either until very recently, but with our lack of options, I thought he did very well and guys like him and Robertson are Scotland's future, so if they they can both play (and improve the team which I think they did in those two positions) then that would be my preferred option. 2 outstanding young talents, already comfortably international class and with many years ahead of them. If that was a one off good performance for Tierney at RB, I'd reconsider either Anya or Bardsley again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Bardsley is hardly finished... just not being picked by our stubborn manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 How many years has Strachan been in charged and people are still mentioning Bardsley? Anyway he won't be playing so think we need to continue with Tierney, as I think we should even if Bardsley was an option. Can we pick 11 players this time and leave out Forrest? Nothing against him personally but many caps is that now with almost no end product. Similarly I'm not convinced Snodgrass in a wide position is a good idea against England. Guess we can see now his form and fitness is nearer the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
