Well in the space of hours we have gone from hopes of automatic qualifications to abject misery and our play-off hopes even hanging by a thread if not already gone. Obviously, I am gutted like everyone else as we lacked a game plan and players just looked flat but at the end of the day and being honest - we got from that game what we deserved - NOTHING, Prior to the match posters here were saying if we can't beat Georgia we don't deserve to qualify and I agree with that sentiment now. We can have no complaints about missing out on qualification (if that is what happens) if we cannot beat Georgia. I see on other threads of talk of embarrassment and anger that Wales and Northern Ireland will be there whilst we aren't - well I'd say the difference is they can get results when it is expected of them (Wales away to Cyprus and Northern Ireland away to Faroe Islands) whilst we serve up dire losses. Where we go from here seems clear to me. Strachan has to formulate a Plan B and C. He has to get us comfortable playing attacking football not limited to on the counter-attack especially in matches against the likes of Georgia. Counter-attack football is a style Strachan has relied on solely to get us where we are but it will only take you so far. I'll be at Hampden on Monday night but right now I have zero expectations after this evening's horror show but hopefully the angst the fans are feeling right now will have dissapated by then as we need to give them maximum support.
