Yeah. I think so, too. People might have a go at McGregor, but sometimes you need someone who does the simple things and keeps possession. Jack is a massive miss, and it showed yesterday. Definitely. Can't disagree with that.

It was such a strange set-up. People are saying that it was defensive, but it wasn't. Armstrong was more advanced than McTominay. Which is fine, if McTominay 9ffers for the ball and Armstrong has movement. Neither happened. Seriously? I have no idea why he was up so far. He was almost in the centre circle.

This analysis is interesting. (You have to click on it) I did notice that McTominay played the anchorman role, but the difference is, he never once came to collect the ball. Gilmour would've demanded the ball. I have only watched it once, but maybe it wouldn't be as bad the second time around. We did create chances. That's a positive. If we can the same again England and Croatia then it's something to build on.

I'm not sure it was a tactical thing, but, our plan A seemed to be to launch aimless balls up to Dykes from all angles. I've looked at the stats, he won 6 out of 16. It was mindless at times. Most the time the midfield was missed out entirely. I remember when Duncan Ferguson played for us, all we used to do was lump it up to him - no wonder he never scored for us!

Thank you! Five different people have now said the exact same thing, but I get singled out because certain people can't let their prejudices go. Someone call Alanis Morissette, as that's ironic.

What do you want me to say? Stuart Armstrong was amazing? His presence in midfield is peak Roy Keane? The challenges he put in, the way he drove the team forward was truly magnificent. On this performance it will have alerted Barcelona and PSG. Or do you want the truth? Do I also have a Prejudice against Che Adams? I honestly thought Adams was excellent when he came. 3 other people said that Armstrong had a nightmare. Shock horror, I get singled out. Clarke couldn't have been too impressed as he lasted just over an hour. Now stfu. The Daily Record gave Armstrong 5 out of 10. Do they also have an agenda? Talking of prejudices, what about the one you have you have with me? If Stuart Armstrong scored a hat trick of og's, you'd have a go at me for slating him for it.

Personally, I know what you're saying. Some players just make brainless decisions. Stuart Armstrong is one, and judging by the previous two matches, (where he contriibuted to us losing two goals) maybe Jack Hendry is another one. Either that or he was unlucky.

Well, if this thread was posted in order to jinx the team. Mission accomplished.

Probably. He probably didn't reveal it as it would've given the Czech's a confidence booster. And their manager would've reacted accordingly.

You may joke, but once the gerbil gets going in the heads of a few people here, McBurnie will get the brunt of the blame. Probably because he wears his sock down with no shin pads. Everyone who is anyone knows that that kind of behaviour is riddled with Gypy curses and/or Witches.

I would put more of the blame onto Marshall.

Gilmour has to be in. The amount of times that the three centerbacks had no options to pass to a midfielder was shocking. Gilmour offers for the ball and demands it

Yes. McTominay was anonymous and completely ineffectual . Armstrong either kicked the ball out of play, got in the way of his team-mates or basically roamed around like a drunk. The defence did fine. O'Donnell, in the first few minutes the ball rolled under his foot for a throw in. Things didn't improve. Fact is, we had good chances to score, some very good. At this level we don't have anyone who can score. The positives are that we did create chances.

Do you not understand the concept of a posting board? Let's all have the same opinion and post the exact same shit. That'll be scads of fun. I'd go with that. Can't see Clarke going with two out and out striker, though. Maybe Fraser.

Marshall Hanley Cooper Tierney Patterson Robertson Gilmour McTominay McGinn Dykes Christie --- Marshall was too advanced for the second Czech goal, other than that, he has fine. Plus, there's no one else. Tierney for Hendry. Patterson for O'Donnell as O'Donnell looked so nervous against the Czechs. He needs to be taken away from the firing line. Gilmour for Armstrong. I was torn between playing McTominay in defense, as he's done nothing for Scotland from midfield, but no better time than against England. Adams did really well when he came on. He added energy and zip. Really impressed me. But I'd stick with Dykes for his height. Positives vs Czechs: We created chances.

Starting Armstrong I had a bad feeling. The injury to Tierney was massive. The positive: We created chances. The negative: We can't score.

Steve Clarke brought Stuart Armstrong off. Why just single me out? If you don't explain yourself, you're a shitbag

What match is Steve Clarke watching? Armstrong's off.

Stuart Armstrong came off. What match is Steve Clarke watching?

But yeah, ignore those people and just pick mine out. Take a fucking day off.

O'Donnell and Armstrong should be off asap. O'Donnell is a nervous wreck and Armstrong, I'm not even sure where he's playing. He should be offering himself more. The defenders have zero options to pass to. That's why they're missing out the midfield. Robertson has been tremendous.

There's zero composure. Gilmour should be on.

O'Donnell and Armstrong for Patterson and Gilmour. Now.

No Tierney? Damn. HUGE blow. The Armstrong one is truly strange. Would've preferred Gilmour. We need someone who can pass from A to B.

And it's amazing how players develop. I remember when we played Holland at 21s. It was Denzel Dumfries directy up against Lewis Morgan. Morgan skinner Dumfries at least half a dozen times. Dumfries was ripped to shreds. Now Dumfries is captain of PSV, playing and scoring for the Netherlands at Euro 2020. Meanwhile, Lewis Morgan is plying his trade in the MLS.
