A draw against England in their back yard would be an excellent result but I'm still confident we're more than good enough to beat them.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Did anyone else consider as they watched those two France goals being disallowed last night that it could cost Scotland? I know after the first game it’s hard to see us getting any points, but had Germany lost 3-0 last night and then lost to Portugal by a goal or two, it would be pretty impossible for them to qualify as a best third place. These are the daft things we need to consider now with these tournament rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-Leeds Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 It’s not as easy to predict the score for this game as you’d think.We didn’t play bad again the Czech team and the keeper going walkabout put the nail in the coffin.Plenty of positives though in that game I think Gordon will start and AdamsHead says England 3-0 Scotland , however, we are so unpredictable and could just as easily win this ( contradiction alert ) England 1-2 Scotland Truthfully can’t narrow down my prediction to one or the other Time will tell, but let’s be honest, Elvis will first [emoji2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England, an early 20 minute spell apart, were not great. It's a game we need something from, let's hope we don't go behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the daft things we need to consider now with these tournament rules. Not really because I'm not thinking about finishing third. I'm thinking about us beating both England and Croatia and then it doesn't matter what other teams do. If you want to talk about 3rd place, 4 points would certainly see us through IMO. Funnily enough, we could win our last 2 games and still finish 3rd. A narrow win for Croatia over the Czech Republic absolutely helps our cause if we want to secure 2nd place. Realistically, if we lose tomorrow it's curtains but I don't think we will. Edited June 17, 2021 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbriansaint72 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 I would go for 2 up front with Adams and Nisbet and just go for it. If we try and be defensive, that will play into England's hands. I hope we beat them as I won't stop going on about it at work, I'm the only Scot in the depot.

I doubt, and hope Gordon isn't between the sticks, not nearly commanding enough. Marshal has been, despite getting caught out last Monday, a safer stronger keeper. I agree on McTominay, has more to offer in a more attacking role, probably only see him in the position if we're chasing the game. This team looks more likely to me....................... Marshall; Hendry, Hanley, Tierney; Forrest, McGinn, McTominay, Armstrong, Robertson; Dykes, Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
