Good stuff. Looking forward to this one.


Anybody going to stretch it into a tripple header

A bit of a pointless game really, they're so low down in the rankings that even a big win (Which we wont get as weel play 451 and probably have Mackail-Smith up on his own) wouldn't boost our ranking and a draw, which is not an impossibility away over there, would be very bad for our ranking.

Atleast it would be an opportunity to give much needed international experience to younger guys, if Levein starts giving them a game i guess.... *sigh*

nothing wrong with trying to play some attacking football, and building confidence with a win. The more the players play together, the more they will get used to the system.

Forrest and Bannan both played, so not sure about your "if Levein starts giving them a game" comment - remember - there was a more important u21 tie.

Pointless fixture.

What system is that then? As the one we play sure as hell isn't attacking!!

I've thought that as well but it's only worthwhile if we can take that approach into other games, ie the important qualifiers. No point putting 3 past them if we play defensive football in the big games

Firstly i dont believe weel play attackingly and secondly I also dont have too much confidence of a win over there either, there are few mugs in international football these days as Liechtenstein proved against us twice.....

8000 capacity stadium....

I sense some complaining on the horizon!

First fixture for the new manager to build some confidence to try and save the wc qualifiers?

[ParisInAKilt]

We played some good attractive attacking football against Faroes's, Wales and NI but have failed to take that approach into more difficult games. Unless Levein changes his tactics in bigger games I suspect this will be a waste of time, and that's something I don't say lightly.

I suspect that if this is a first game for a new manager then it will because it's too late to save the WC qualifiers. So hopefully as much as Levein annoys me and many others he is still the manager at this game purely because we are in an excellent position for the rest of the campaign.
