Seaside Nipper Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Point is he wasn't culpable for either of the 2 goals tonight. I agree he's not top class, always has an error in his locker but we don't have any better. We don’t have any better in most positions in that “national team”. We are technically redundant and have only a few only who are natural footballers. Most of the top teams look quite good at the level we play at, we look wooden by comparison. We lack at least half a dozen top players. With respect, who the f**k is Philips I almost feel sorry for Strachan, almost mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the glory days are long gone when we had players playing for the top teams in England. No matter who is our manager 2nd place is almost always going to be the best we can hope for in these qualifying games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite agree, I think we have decent players and as stated above, McGinn, Forest and McGregor would have added more than some of Strachan's choices. All in all I think Wee Gord got us punching at just around our level (slightly below IMHO). In reality two Griffiths free kicks were all we really produced of note in the campaign. Strachan has got of with his team selection in the past. Edited October 8, 2017 by insaintee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linwood buddie Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Really didn't expect a win when I seen the team set up , why change from the way we played most of this campaign , should have packed the midfield and played on the break.

Not that I’m an expert on other leagues, but on the basis of your post (A league littered with Averageness)Iceland and Northern Ireland have qualified, Wales or Republic of Ireland will Qualify, none of which have leagues any better than the SPL. It could be argued that Scotland had a more difficult group than some of the other teams that have either qualified or are in with a chance (Denmark and Croatia)You could also argue that if Craig Gordon had been on his game at Hampden against England, then we could have had three points in that game.The bottom line is, we didn’t qualify and I still believe that Strachan is the best man for the job.But those are just my opinions.

oscar Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Point is we all want a successful Scotland. Will Strachan give us that with the team he has been building? I think he will. I don't think Moyes will give us any excitement. Maybe Lambert?? Dunno. Would prefer Strachan to stay. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget they haven't lost a game at home in the campaign. We missed a good chance, Fletcher blazing the ball over, before we equalised. I've mentioned previously, 2 draws at home cost us, not tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, our qualifying league , not our domestic league bud. We failed the campaign in a league of average teams, hardly top Euro class rated teams. SPL never mentioned.

Seaside Nipper Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Expect Strachan resignation in the morning. I agree, he’ll be imo fed up and looking ahead thinking just how do I improve this national team. Time for new direction, young players, not “trusted ones”.
