Absolutely makes total sense. Thats what's holding mcburnie back the players in the opposition aren't good enough. He needs to be playing against the absolute best players in the world in order to show his best form. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobot Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Much better, looks like the players are adapting to the system, some nice link up in the 2nd half. Fraser’s pace on the break was crucial to it and I thought McGinn was excellent, McTominay strolled it. I like Dykes, he is a smart player. Also the best McBurnie has played. Much better team press - on Thursday Bitton could wander up to the half way line with no pressure but Fraser seemed to lead the press tonight. Craig Brown’s teams were set up in a similar way, we were’t creating much but were very hard to break down and we qualified for stuff and I suspect Clarke realises this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 We looked much the better team tonight. Keep it up and hope to snatch a draw against the Czechs.Actually think Israel look a lot better than Slovakia, but Israel look weak defending set pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a squad with no decent goal scorers, no decent central defenders and no decent right back. The priority is to be hard to beat. We've been asking for ages why we can't do an Ireland or a Northern Ireland and battle our way to a tournament. Well, here it is. We controlled a game against a team that should be better than us. Honestly, we may well look back and say a team was born this week. Slovakia shouldn't be better than us, but everything else I agree with. What's most pleasing for me is that's 210 minutes plus stoppage time in the last three days, and we have allowed the opposition one good chance on goal in that time. That's outstanding, and very unlike Scotland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 So Serbia lost at home tonight.....mmmmm...... You know I could point out that a Scotland renaissance was more than likely the moment fans could not attend the games. Oh so typical ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Thought O'Donnell did okay at RB too, not seen him much and I gather people think he isn't great l. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don exotic Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Managing to form a team for the first time in ages. Players who want to play for their country. Hopefully we are going to have more to play for in the near future. Maybe having no crowds has taken some of the heat out of developing a way of making the most of the players we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more than a touch of that style about us at the moment. Mind you, their shitfest festival was more or less successful over a 20 year period. I would take it though, if it got us to tournaments. I was just coming on to post that. A very South Ireland circa 2010-2016 performance tonight - eye bleedinly shite at times and very direct. But it gets results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is very reminiscent of a Craig Brown team, but they were further on in their development. The wingbacks worked well and his team passed the ball very well. This team will get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Aww I like Considine. I hope he is in future squads, he did really well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Danny Lennon should move his kids soccer Island to Australia.Dykes and Fraser played really well tonight. It wasn’t a vintage performance but we were solid at the back and played really well in spells. I’m feeling much more positive than I was on Thursday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 10 minutes ago, Lex said: Far as I can see the only way we get one of the two World Cup playoff spots available via nations league is if no two teams ranked higher than us won their nations league group and didn’t finish in the top two of their World Cup qualifying group. If two of the sixteen teams in league A fall Into that category we won’t make the playoff. Two of four teams, not sixteen. For example, if the groups below were the final standings, we'd only need to be concerned about where the teams highlighted in green finish in their WC qualifying groups. All other teams are of no consequence as they wouldn't be considered for a playoff spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
