 Scotland team to face Slovenia
Topic Originator: desparado

Will be interesting to see what starting 11 and formation SP goes for.

He has drafted in three new CH’s. Don’t think all three will be warming the bench.
One will start in a back four and maybe two of the three if he goes with wing backs.
Will he go with one up top or two?
Got a sneaky feeling that he will play 3/5/2 with McPake or McGinn pushing up alongside McBurnie

My guess for Saturday is

Gunn
Paterson
Binks
Welsh
McKenna
Robertson

Ferguson
McGinn
Doak
McPake

McBurnie.

He might go two up top with Bowie or Ure with McBurnie meaning McPake or Doak starting on bench..

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

If you start 2 up top your benching both the wide players has anyone done any looking at his pervious teams what formations he played or that

You can certainly play 442 with a wide man….

Yeah. I was alluding to both scenarios. But guessing he will go with the formation above.

he prefers 3 at the back but has said the formation will be flexible based on the opponent.

Why even bother wasting your time trying to guess what a football manager will do? Just wait and see. Do an open university course or something

Why even bother wasting your time coming onto a provincial football club fan forum telling people what to do? Do an open university course or something.

Shut down the internet while you`re at it.

Would like to see Hendry, Ferguson and McLean get a crack as their performances - bar a couple of mistakes - were some of very few positives from the summer.

Would have Hickey in over Patterson every day of the week, much better defensively IMO.

**No idea if we`ve had any of the usual call off`s so that above may be null and void if they have dropped out.

I’m sure McLean was one of the call offs along with Tierney.

He favours a 3421 formation, similar to Lennon`s style.

........................Mcburnie....................
...............McGinn.......... Doak.............
Robertson.. Gilmour.... Ferguson... Hickey
..........Hendry.. McKenna... Welsh........
.........................Bain.......................

will be interesting for sure

I would pick Hickey before Paterson too normally but I am not sure if Hickey has even started a game this season…sub coming on late mostly. Checked. He has started two…

That’s the team the Scotsman have predicted apart from Gunn in place of Bain..
