dandydunn Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Started well enough, pressing high, possibly should've been a pen. Oh aye, the ref is an absolute balloon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see more reds coming tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macy37 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Final ball is horrendous. We couldn’t script this any more unfortunate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 As macy says final ball is lacking and we aren't getting enough bodies in the box. My worry is we aren't so good when the initiative is on us to attack. We actually look better on quick breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Bannan is absolute dross. Can't believe he's back in & he will probably be praised after the match by the wee ginger bawbag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraz65 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This is going to be difficult. If Slovakia weren't playing for a draw before, they will be now. Not sure if the fault lies with the final ball or the fact that it's Griffiths vs. six Slovakians every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Robertson having a stormer, Forrest decent too (yes, he is). Storming tackle from Fletcher to prevent that Hamsik shot. Need to get more men into the box for the crosses though. What on earth was going through Mak's mind without dive on a yellow? Patience required here.

Think we might struggle to score now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting into lots of good positions but you could say poor final ball but when you only have one maybe two in the box then playing a telling pass is harder. We really need to flood the box.

romanticscot Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Robertson is playing excellent. Morriaon and Forrest holding onto the ball too long. I am close to tears watching, lump in my throat. I took the day off work for this, against 10 men if it were not for two great saves we would be up. They are still a threat but lets get the goal we need and deserve.

macy37 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Both Bannan and Forrest are dire. Bannan the more dire of the two, marginal mind. Phillips not having a good game and Tierney isn’t as productive playing for us. Stonewall penalty mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Been pretty much as predicted so far, very insipid, little mobility or creativity and lots of useless crosses being launched into the box. Overall it's a Strachan masterclass in the way he often sends his teams out in the hope that something happens rather than making it happen. Now is his opportunity to define his reign as manager, either keep the same 11 for the next 20 mins and hope we get a goal from a set piece or deflection etc, or get Mcginn, Mcgregor and/or Fraser on early doors and make something happen. Slovakia are very comfortable and as we get more desperate and the full backs get higher up the pitch, they will have a real chance to nick a goal, we can eradicate that by making the required changes, let us see if he does.

Clyde1998 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Can see Strachan bringing on either Fletcher or Martin for Bannan in the second half should it remain level after about 60 minutes; go 4-4-2. Think Tierney should've had a penalty and all the Slovak yellow cards were yellows. Just need that breakthrough - their keeper has made a couple of very good saves, so we just have to keep creating chances and we'll hopefully take one of them. Breaking them down will not be easy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Well I will say the only positive result I can see for us now is a 1-0. If Slovakia grab a breakaway goal we are screwed as we don't look like a team full of goals tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Hunt Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Not enough bodies in box. Really missing Armstrong for that. Worried. Slovakia even more happy with draw. Chris Martin to rescue again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think we’ve been pretty good first half against a good team. Phillips the weak link for me and we need to sacrifice one of the centre mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
