France Vs Scotland

I guess I may as well start the ball rolling...

 

Teams/predictions anyone?

 

I'll guess at this:

 

Gordon

Hutton - Weir - McManus - McEvely

Caldwell

Brown - Fletcher - Ferguson - McCulloch

O'Connor

 

Brown must play and not Hartley, perhaps him in the middle and Fletcher on the right.

 

My instinct for the score all week has been that we'll score first, early, then be subjected to a pasting all night, and they'll either snatch a draw or a win in the last 15 mins. If they score early I fear for us, especially as apparently this game is more important to them than the Italy game (according to McLeish).

Hutton Weir McManus McEveley
McFadden Fletcher Ferguson Brown McCulloch
Boyd

Caldwell in the holding midfield role is just not the way to go at all IMO. Potential disaster.

McFadden deserves a start and he's the type of player who can create chances out of nothing, even on his weaker side.

Not a huge fan of McCulloch but a big strong player who could be vital in a match like this. Good physical presence. Good defensive work is required.

Many would agree with O'Connor up front as he gets himself about more but let's face it we ain't gonna get that many chances. If we manage to create 1 or 2 chances then there's no one I'd rather have on the end of it than Boyd



We'll do well to get a draw I think.

Prediction 1-1

Gordon

Hutton - Weir - McManus - McEveley

McCulloch - Brown - Ferguson - Fletcher - McFadden

O'Connor/Boyd


I just can't decide between O'Connor and Boyd, fecking hard decision.

I'd like to see Caldwell come into the midfield but we all know that isn't going to happen, Ferguson will be the man brought in.

Prediction - Last time I predicted 1 0 with a defender to score so hopefully I can give the right prediction using my magical powers once again :D

 

Lets say 2 - 0 with someone scoring a double :rolleyes: i can only pray

BBC Scotland has the England game on tomorrow night. Colkitto, sort it out. :rolleyes:

 

 

I have been down this road before princessTon. It's an utter disgrace that we have to pay out extra money to subscribe to see our national team play when England games are on the BBC, paid for by OUR licience fee money.

Don't blame me I voted Yes!!!! - We tried to tell you !!!!!

Noticed the Evening Times had a complaint in 2nite saying that our game should be on.

 

Am glad I have Sky to watch the game, but feel for people who have to go out and watch it!

 

Hope Gary Teale might be well enough to fly out, but may have to settle for being on the bench.

I don't think he flew out because he didn't want to pass on the bug he has...he was mince on Saturday and wouldn't have played tonight anyway. According to Eck it's similar to the way we played in Italy - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/i...als/6986215.stm - which was more of a 4-4-1-1 so I'll change my prediction to the following:

 

Gordon

Hutton - Weir - McManus - McEveley

Brown - Fletcher - Ferguson - McCulloch

McFadden

O'Connor

 

With Ferguson sitting deeper than the rest...

Good shout princess. Think the score will be 1-1. Might be tempted to put a couple of sheckles on that score.

If you have a problem with me, text me. If you dont have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me.

I know Fletcher is a good creative player but Ferguson has proven to be very adept at supporting the lone striker and I would say is our mst potent goal threat from the middle of the park.

 

That said I think you're right, purely because Brown & Fletcher are less likely to be able to hold.

 

What about>>

 

Gordon

 

Hutton Weir McManus McEvely

 

Brown Caldwell Fletcher McCulloch

 

Ferguson

 

Boyd.

 

Ferguson has played that role several times, and well for Rangers.
