If we'd drawn he would have been slaughtered, there'sa long queue waiting for him to fail. It's, as I've always said, a results game.

faraway saint Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 There will be a scramble for tickets/flights on Sunday. Oh, been a LONG time since we've had an opportunity, and there's a long way to go, to qualify. Pity Russia is flippin miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longtimecoming Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hope the so called fans who booed Chris Martin onto the park against Slovenia feel rather foolish now. Well done Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Been a few cracking posts tonight, Mr Zo easily the winner. (I'll not quote it as he's normally pretty sensible) Been a strange campaign, very poor start. For me the points dropped at home to Slovenia and England have been damaging. To get ourselves into this position says a lot about the manager and players. Not easy to lift the spirits and performances but we're in with a shout. Can't wait till Sunday. Plenty of vodka and try to stay calm...................and positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Looks like it was underhand tactics that led to Slovakia losing...............................I'm running out of tin foil. Kosak (Slovakian manager) also hinted at some conspiracy theories about how events conspired against his side, although he would not expand on the specifics other than their baggage being misplaced on their arrival. "That's how it started," he said. "Since our arrival in Scotland, there have been too many coincidences and I'm told old to believe in coincidences."

SaintGlenburn Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Why play Tierney at RB when he does not have a right peg (at all)He had a nightmare but not his fault and not fair on him.Great Result though and the standouts for me were Griffiths, Berra, Mulgrew and Skrtel for his tidy finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Arthur Blair Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Just in from the game...traffic was murder!!! A strange old game. A very unbalanced team with 7 left-footers in the starting 11. 67 minutes against 10 men and it just looked like we'd never break them down. Definite red card, a bad tackle on Forrest then the most blatant dive you'll see for a long time. Their keeper had 3 outstanding saves, we hit the bar twice, people scratching their heads at the subs yet 2 of them combine and we get the winner courtesy of an OG.

faraway saint Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Watching the "highlights" of England v Slovenia it could be worth Anya starting as they (Slovenia) look ponderous at the back. Rashford is terrorising them, suppose it depends how they set up but, again, we need the win but there's 90 minutes to win the game ,doesn't need to be all out attack from the start.

Not quite sure that's an issue, as it depends on the position they play and, hopefully, players have more than one foot they can kick the ball with. Substitutions are always up for debate, never going to keep everyone happy. When it works, like tonight, great. If we don't win, then it's "hang the witch" time. A very fine line for a manager, as it is when we didn't get a rub of the green against England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but tonight Tierney totally lacked confidence in his right foot and Forrest in his left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack seems to think it is an issue.He said the addition of McCart to the team has given us a natural balance as he is left footed, something we have lacked.

Ok, to slightly address this "7 players are left footed" one of them is Craig Gordon. That takes it back to a 6/4 ratio, hardly massively imbalanced. Some people will dig about for some sort of nonsense, like the foot a player kicks with, as it's more to do with, as I said, the position they play in. At the end of the day, with all these left footed players, we dominated a game against a team that are more than decent. Oh, by he way, who is Jack?
