Let's get Glorious Failure #11 off to a good start.
Heard there will be less than 20k at the game tonight, apathy may have finally set in en masse. Team news?

Naismith and Russell start. Griffiths on bench.
O’Donnell of Killie starts on the right.

The perfect type of game for Easter Road or Pittodrie instead of a Hampden

That team is a joke.
Naismith who’s been here and done it before over our best striker avaiable.

You’d have to think that Griffiths isn’t fit. But then why bother having him on the bench..... Originally Posted by SteveHFC

Poor show from a man who should never have returned to the National job. Originally Posted by makaveli1875

If Naismith is it then we really are struggling.
Hope I’m wrong but I’m going for a draw this evening.

First Scotland home competitive game in about 10 years I'll be missing tonight.
Strange line up. No objection to the formation as we play similar and with pretty poor central defensive options going with 3 makes sense to me - can't grasp that Armstrong and Griffiths are on the bench though
Huge game. Lose this and i can't see how McLeish will turn it around.
Prediction - win tonight followed by the announcement tomorrow that we'll be remaining at Hampden.

Griffiths was hobbling a little at points during the Belgium game, so I suspect he probably has a knock.
That back 5 will quickly become a back 3 when we're attacking.
I know recent games have been grim, but FFS, some folk have us written off before we've stepped onto the field in McLeish's first competitive game. At least give him half an hour to see how it pans out first!

Seems a bit strange to swap Griffiths for Naismith, but it would just be like Naismith to score in this one. Score draw.

Griffiths has a international scoring record of a goal every 4.5 games Originally Posted by bigwheel

Naismith has a goal in every 6 plus games
I know there is more to a striker than scoring but a lone striker with an out and out winger on one side and a left back on the other side. Griffiths also is a threat from set pieces

We always complain when the form player isn’t picked, particularly if it’s an OF player that is selected ahead of him.
So, based on that, why shouldn’t Naismith start ahead of Griffiths?

Dunno where this myth about ''5 defenders'' being a defensive formation came from. All about how it is played.

I agree, Griffiths can’t be fit and it sounds like Naismith has made a good start to the season so why not? Originally Posted by Danderhall Hibs

Two concerns for me are O’Donnell, IMO from what I’ve seen, which isn’t a lot to be fair, he’s nowhere near international standard and McDonald, I know he plays in England so people will automatically think he’s better than what we’ve got up here but he’s been completely anonymous in the Scotland games I’ve seen him. SJM made a mistake the other night but at least he took a bit responsibility and got stuck in, i suspect at the end of this game I’ll still be wondering what this guy does.
