COLT NY Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 This is a good game. We're a much more dangerous team with Ryan Fraser available on the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Scoring early with Fraser up front on the counter is good. He is quicker than I thought. Hope he got a good feeling from scoring for Scotland and is hungry for more! So far, so good. Have ridden our luck a wee bit in patches, but so have Czechs. Across the fixtures, Gallagher and Considine have impressed me so far in that they have risen to the occasion. Dykes has a great attitude. We do need to cut out some of the niggles (the ones which would result in blatant cards when VAR is used in Serbia). Would take 1-0 at half time!

kumnio Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Decent first half, giving away a lot of the ball, but limiting them to almost nothing, bar that staggering miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burj_Alba Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The Czechs are a class above Slovakia and Israel so our performance is even better. Cracking match so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Always liked Ryan fraser....... Good goal, shame he skied the next one. Has looked sharper tonight. Dykes is great at winning the ball in the air. Need to be a bit tighter with them on the counter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Frasers pace is causing havok. Been a decent performance so far but they have dominated possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeTA Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Good 1st half. Good to have frasers pace. Never saw much of dykes at livi but hes impressed me for scotland, very tidy player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 A few things need tweaking as they are getting too many balls into our box for my liking. Positives are the early goal - obviously - and that you can see the team are growing in confidence in their movement and passing. Fraser looks like he is revelling in that free role off Dykes. O'Donnell's playing well too - a statement which will probably get me banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Looking a wee bit shaky in central defence but "a wee bit shaky" is a big improvement on what we have been used to over the past few years. Czech Rep are a decent team, much better than Israel or Slovakia. I'll take 1-0 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you think of another football “product” on sky where the commentator runs it down so often? The EPL/ EFL would be all over Sky if their commentator forgot his cheerleading duties, but I guess the SFA pussies only had one bidder for the rights because they can’t market shit. Am not saying I want a distorted version of the truth, but that’s what we’re getting, albeit in a negative way, rather than positive. Just call the game, you prick.

stirlish Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I think o donnell is getting caught out of position too often, he is doing good at the high press but is caught with the fast breakaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVIDB46 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I have been heavily critical of scotland only beating teams below our level , but this is the proper Czech team and winning this would hugely significant in the could we get a World Cup play off count back. i wasn’t sure about going up next time to a section as worried we would take a few hidings . but as long as I am reading it correct , Iceland have a fair chance of getting a spot even if they get nothing in their group just because their in a so maybe there are benefits of being promoted again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Stupid foul and hence card by Dykes. Even more stupid one by Robertson in last game to get booked and miss this game. We can't afford these avoidable cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Dykes has been an excellent addition to the squad. A target man who can actually control the ball, knock it on, lose his marker and shows good anticipation. Mind when we used to have Kevin Kyle and Stevie Thompson trying to do that job ? (shudder) Hands up, this time last year I was posting that Dykes would pick Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those should be the CBs ahead of McTominay. Happy for disagreement but not sure what the confused face under this refers to.

scotlad Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Great finish from Fraser for the goal and he was unlucky not to have had a second. We've been second best for most of the game though. The second half so far has been worryingly reminiscent of Russia at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
