Poland were very disappointing, and lucky to get the draw. Not a bad performance from Scotland though, pressing and keeping possession reasonably well. If Clark can refrain from this nonsense of McTominay in central defense, plus forgets about Greg Taylor we should be in good shape. Taylor played well.

Caledonian Craig Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) McTominay's problem . NO END PRODUCT. He made a couple or three good runs to the ebge of their area and either tripped over the ball or over-ran it. Very frustrating. Not saying he had a stinker at all. He was adequate but when he is in those advanced positions he needs the end product. All in all I thought we played really well and if we had taken our chances we would have been out of sight. A lot of our players impressed. Edited March 24, 2022 by Caledonian Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been pretty good. Maybe Armstrong for Christie will give us a bit more penetration. Was very impressed with Patterson tonight, especially in first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 People slagging off McTominey are totally overlooking what he does for us in terms of passing out from the back. He had 1 bad moment tonight where he took a bad touch / slipped that could have caused a goal however these things happen. He makes things look easy which I believe some supporters then believe are easy when in fact they arent. Techinically he is lightyears ahead of Soutter and Hendry. Both are probably better out and out defenders however whats gained in defence is lost in style and passing through the lines goung forward.

I want him in midfield, alongside McGregor and Gilmour, I’d drop Christie. Play McGinn off Dykes or Adams or Stewart. Not convinced anyone has nailed the Centre Forward spot yet. I’m hoping Stewart can come in and eventually make the jersey his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceudmilefailte Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 It's good watching Scotland for the first time in years. Any one thinking of tinkering with our midfield is of their head.

I believe we can get more out of this squad, one way is to move McTominay into midfield alongside McGregor and Gilmour, drop Christie, push McGinn to play off the Centre Forward. The other way is to switch to a back 4 when the occasion suits it. Just my opinion though, but you’re right, it’s good watching Scotland at the moment.

Friendly innit. If it was competitive he'd have played the full 90. Disappointing to end our winning run due to such a ridiculous penalty decision, but it was poor play from us in the lead up. Still better for it not to have happened in an actual play-off. Hard to believe Tierney is only 24, such a mature performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight i thought we looked good, we controlled large spells of the game our passing moves were nice. Shame to lose the late pen but theres alot of positives from tonights game.

There are of course other options, and it probably sounds daft but I don't think we need to get any more out of the current squad. It looks competitive at any level. Maybe I'm getting carried away after recent performances against Denmark. England, Poland and to a lesser degree Croatia and the Czech Republic.

Thats where I wanted to see him tried tonight. Beside McGinn as one of the 2 behind Adams who i think is the clear choice for number 1 striker.

bonzo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm just hame and not read through the thread but I thought we played really well...composed for want of a better word.

slasher Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) We've made great progress under Clarke when you think back to where we were. We need to start being ruthless in front of goal if we are to take the next step though. Also need to get a look at the back up options at goalkeeper and striker vs Austria next week.

Yes, goal keeper and striker are the two worries. I thought Adams was a bit out of sorts last night but he was fantastic against Denmark. Also agree we need to start taking our chances. I think Fraser will help in that regard and provide some competition for Christie. I also wonder if Elliot Anderson could come straight into the play offs if he does something special tonight for the u21s (and cancels England in the process). He seems to be able to create goals from nothing. We have Lowry on the horizon though so I’m not getting too stressed about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
