That was class! Whatever you think of Clarke, we have to keep him now. He must be the luckiest man in football history. 

He got nearly everything wrong tonight. Hanley on his wrong foot was fucking awful (don't get me wrong, he defended well). It meant Robertson had to spend the evening a maximum of fifteen yards for him so he had an easy pass, that resulted in Doak being isolated on his wrong side. With the extra touch required for Hanley, Adams was never going to be in space, so was a complete waste of a jersey. Whilst it was the first time we have seen Ferguson and Christie together, it should have been clear that they are too similar in that role and always like to turn back, rather than Gilmour with his progressive passing. The press was all wrong the entire game (until Dykes pressed the goalie!), and we were just generally disjointed. He took fucking ages to make changes, only making them when the injury occurred, and it was clear that they were always scoring. We just got lucky with the offsideish goal, which wasn't a result of being lifted by their goal, or a change in momentum. It was just insane. But fucking hell it was good! Well done Clarke, you're difficult not to love.

I genuinely have no idea how we won that. We were awful for huge chunks of the game. As Rico said Clarke got almost every call wrong but we somehow won 3-1. Makes a change to coming away wondering how we lost I suppose. 
 

ETA so now win on Sunday and Denmark beat Greece and we are guaranteed a play off plus a potential winners takes all game against Denmark at home for the group.

See that Christie and Ferguson are suspended for Sunday. Wouldn’t mind seeing Lennon miller come in but has Clarke got the stones? Expect to see two up top with dykes and Adams at 9 and 10, gilmour and mctom in the middle. Really hope to see doak on the right, sad we don’t have a left midfielder in the entire squad….. although with his assist I’m sure Armstrong could play left midfielder. Luke McGowan? With the two suspended, wonder if he actually calls up Armstrong. He has McLean miller and gilmour though, prob enough.

need a good win, good performance, and a few goals.

I wouldn't play Gilmour and Miller together (unless Miller plays further forward). Gilmour/Miller and Christie deep would be fine, or Gilmour/Miller and McLean. 

Straight 4-4-2 for me though. Dykes and Adams, with Doak in the only position he can actually play football in. McGinn left.

Bonkers, just bonkers. But he can leave Armstrong the fuck alone. No way will he be able to play that many games this season, rather he kept himself for the Dons and Clarke find someone else to make the position their own. Must have been some night in Glasgow last night!

I doubt Armstrong is on his radar 2bh given the wealth of cm's we have.

Scotland qualifying for the World Cup would be better than anything the dons can still achieve this season so if Armstrong was needed - he isn’t, so it’s a moot point anyway - then he’d be welcome to go imo

I’m meaning left mid. We have no left midfielders in the squad and shoe horning doak onto the left is crap, for doak and for Scotland. Even Napoli have played mctominnay on the left this season, it’s a problem area we have, certainly don’t want him out there. Armstrong has played on the left, he’s capable on that side, lovely assist for gyamfi of late kinda reminds us he can play out there. Can’t remember who he scored against for Scotland in recent years, cutting in from the left to score bottom left.

he’s older and not a long term solution, hence i threw out luke McGowan. He’s playing more than ralston, Hanley I think, plus all of our keepers. I’d also consider Josh doig or Greg Taylor, if we’re going to shoe horn a player into left mid why not put someone out there who actually plays on the left.
