wellsince75 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 43 minutes ago, GazzyB said: His club form has been diabolical, anyone who denies that is just plain deluded. If he was able to bring his international form into club form then happy days, but the truth is he's been rotten for us for a good few weeks now. Let's hope he can replicate his Scotland form on Saturday. We’d need to match a similar formation . Otherwise he won’t get a chance to push forward , midfield gets over run and we end defending like dogs for most of the match . He’s better for Scotland than us (personal view) as the formation and team set up play more to his strengths 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise really. I was sure they would come close to selling out the Tommy McLean stand. They are on a good run.

He's been very good defensively for Scotland. Even at times he looks like he's never actually kicked a ball for Scotland. His defending for us has been utter shite and he looks like the uncle you bring to 5 a sides at times. I'd fucking love him to great. I'd even settle for the "very average" he was 12 months ago.

grizzlyg Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 To get best out of SOD we need a 3 5 2 but no way will stubborn GA change his 4 3 3, at same time for all the doom and gloom a few weeks back, if we beat hearts we are only 3pts behind them...COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we have won 80% of our games whilst he has not been playing is quite telling. Sure there will be other factors at play including the quality of the opposition. But I would not be inclined to drop Mugabi from RB assuming Ojala and Sol are fit. That said I doubt he will be left out. He is our Captain and GA can always point out to how well he played v Denmark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwulliewullie Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 It would be a nice touch to make a pre-match announcement on Saturday to acknowledge the part that Gordon, Souttar and O'Donnell played for Scotland on Monday night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t we just get the rest of the players from both sides to form a guard of honour for the three of them as they walk on to the park separately while we’re at it? 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a pre-match announcement for three players, two of whom playing against us for their part in a match which secured Scotland a playoff place? That’s right, a playoff place, not qualification for the World Cup. Nah, not for me. What happens if we do a nice wee pre-match acknowledgment of the Scotland three then O’Donnell reverts to his Motherwell type form, Gordon plays a blinder, saves a penalty and Souttar scores the winner? It would generate a lot of likes on social media mind you, once again showing what a smashing wee club we are so the social media dept would enjoy it. Probably make a video of it for Twitter.

I don't disagree, btw - just pointing out that we've done it before. Also, as much as I enjoyed the Scotland game this week, we haven't actually qualified yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 After a magnificent week watching the national team play silky free flowing attacking football, its back to the weekly grind of club football! Just hope SOD can use the experience to drag all those around them up to his level rather than the other way around! Hopefully he will have some encouraging words for Liam Kelly and Tony Watt to pass on from Steve Clarke. The more internationals we can get in the team the better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 With 3,000 jambos fans then it should be a great atmosphere and I hope our lads are up for it and also let's give SOD lots of support, I feel he is a confidence player so having the fans behind him will help. Ps. moving IT equipment into an office at work today and my boss said 'The plugs don't work', I replied 'fair enough but was that not a song by The Verve?', ba boom!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
