That smacks of defeatism right from the start, TheWorthinGer, but it's backed up by the bare facts that we hardly posed a threat to Germany when they were at their lowest - a situation exploited in following games by both Poland and Ireland.

Very disappointed to not make the play offs at least. Kind of torn in terms of where we go from here, On one hand we competed well with germany and poland and were unlucky not to beat the republic home and away. only the georgia away result could really be claimed as a bad one.

Then on the other hand we only won 2 games outside the gibraltar ones. Stick or twist ?

I think, without a credible alternative we'll have to stick, although as El Car says he'll stick by his tried-and-trusted (but-failed-miserably-again) going forward. It's a full year until the next qualifying campaign starts. If change is going to be made it has to be now. Scott Brown will be another year slower, Steven Fletcher's scoring record will still read Scored 8 (6 v Gibraltar), wee Shaun Maloney's arse will be another year fatter and Darren Fletcher will still be thinking he's got all the time on the ball he wants.

Time for change, if not at managerial level then at least at squad level.
