The overriding feeling coming out of Hampden on Thursday night was that we would need to energise the midfield for Sunday. Strachan chose not to do so. Instead, as he has done consistently he stuck to his 'tried and tested'. The same tried and tested bunch who are out of form, not playing at their clubs or are just plain not up to it at this level any more.
That's why he has to go, and remember he only picked the likes of Griffiths, Armstrong and McGregor when they became virtually impossible to ignore.
