Very disappointing but we didn't lose, scored 2 goals against a side that had not lost any goals at home in group F matches but didnae keep another 'clean sheet' against them. As for that free kick that 'opened the door' for that 1st Slovakian goal, wtf was that FK given for anyway and why did that ref delay his decision by about 5 secs??? However, it was poorly defended, and IMO Martin (pulled off by Gogsy) would have been defending the back post better with Fletcher! Delighted to see Slovakia will not likely qualify for the play offs anyway but that does not dismiss the fact we 'shot ourselves in the foot' to qualify with 20 pts with a team that needed freshening up 4 days after a challenging 1-0 win v Slovakia. IMO we would have won if a combative Broony had played in Scotland's midfield. As for Strachan leaving? Really? I wish he had the full quota of players to choose from because that would have helped our cause greatly in this crucial game! The signs of improvement and the arrival of a number of good young Scottish players have changed the 'dynamic' and 'shape' of this Scotland team. I'll stick with the 'stability factor' and let Gogsy focus on the process of rebuilding/reshaping the team with the good habits and techniques being employed in the process. There is a 'unified look' about the Scotland squad and management/coaches these days - no point disrupting it!
