Gone from scoring a goal every two games to 1 in every 5 since he left. No idea of reason behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tup1 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hornby has surely got to be good enough for the senior squad. We seem to take ages to give young players a chance in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Goals from last night incase anyone’s not seen them. https://mobile.twitter.com/ScotlandNT/status/1316415169757675522 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Team for tonight. Andy Considine gets 2nd cap and Ross McCrorie on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Pretty much the expected and I'm good with that for continuity, Jack for the injured Fleck and Taylor for the suspended Robertson. Bias obviously, but would have rather seen McCrorie instead of Jack but I guess the head goes with experience. And why is big Andy not captain since Robertson is suspended!!??

tup1 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Dykes is a great player. Just shoves the Czech donkey out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Good game, but still the czech's have too much of the ball. Fraser should have had his second. I do like Dykes, strong in the air and decent touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 A bit fortunate to be up at the half, could easily be 2-2. Big Andy a bit fortunate not to give away a penalty, seen that easily given before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tup1 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Clarke has sorted out defending as a unit. We look like we can soak up pressure from good sides quite comfortably. Previously we would crumble as soon as the pressure was applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think HT came at a good time, while we have had a couple of chances we're given them too much possession and I feel a czech goal was/is coming. Not overly impressed with our three in midfield, don't think the smallish Jack, McGinn, and McGregor are mobile or strong enough, plus getting bullied. I seriously think McCrorie would help with his physicality and size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA-Don Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Let’s not kid ourselves, we could easily have lost 3 or 4-1 tonight and I don’t think that would have been unfair. It was backs against the wall for more or less the entire second half, and we even sat back in the first half. Talk about DM game management, it was a tough watch. They missed a bunch of good chances including two I consider sitters! Still, great win and 6 out of 8. And a shutout. Think Gallagher and Considine have played their way into future squadS and no reason why big Andy can’t compete with McKenna for the left central spot.

tup1 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The biggest compliment I can pay Clarke is that his team looks very much like Craig Brown's Scotland team. Very hard to beat. McTominay at centre back and Fraser as a forward are good tactical decisions. We don't even slightly miss Robertson. Or the tosser Tierney. Two of the back five tonight play for Motherwell, one for Aberdeen. No way would previous managers have selected these players. They'd have gone for Glasgow based players who were half committed at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Played well tonight but rode our luck at times. Czechs should have scored and Dykes could have got a red for standing on player when he got booked. Thought Considine was brilliant again. As Gallagher said post match you would have thought it was his 50th cap not his second. McGinn and Fraser were top players for us with the rat cunt also playing well.

Never an accident, just a little petulant. You could tell by his reaction. Yellow card correct though, as he didn't put his weight on the boy. It wasn't dangerous.

Since Strachan left, there seems to be a concerted effort to get Scottish based players involved. I wonder if they recognise that folk were losing interest in the Scottish granny championship no marks were getting a bit tiring. Good to see. The nation's league actually seems to have helped us in that regard. Also, it's good to see at least one or two stepping up directly from the u21s. It's never really been a route to the first team in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
