Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Caveated by Kazakhstan clearly being very poor, this has been a massively improved style of play. Leonard has been excellent in midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it we got beat by the better team wasn't impressed with Doig who actually is a player that I rate he gave away a poor penelty Don't want to single anybody out though we just weren't at the races tonight If I was a Scottish lad watching on telly that plays every week in the Scottish Premier like Anderson or Etharon then I would be seething 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandcowden Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Aye,we were very poor last night. Dreadful,needless penalty to give away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I watched the game last night. It was like watching the senior team 2 or 3 years ago. Looked small, weak, slow and devoid of ideas and creativity. After the recent relative success of the senior team, I’m convinced that coaching is the major part of the problem. Up until last year, I was starting to believe the pish we were spoon fed for years that our players just aren’t good enough - even if they play for top sides. Get a decent coaching team in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can not fathom the approach our u21 team take. I find it even more difficult to understand when the head of the performance schools Brian McLaughlin who has been telling us for the past few years how the under age groups are changing the way we play the game, a passing style based on technical ability, a style I have witnessed with my own eyes watching u16 up to u19 games, then we hit the 21s and it all goes out the window! Why Gemmil does not carry that style through to the U21s I do not know and why he is being allowed to continue doing so I do not know. We have some great technical players who can play proper football but the only tactic he had last night was knock the ball over the top for Middleton to chase! We need a seriously good coach at u21 level who can teach the boys about positioning and movement and patterns of play, Gemmil is miles of it and essentially throwing everything these boys have been learning previously out the window. He needs called out on this, someone like Shaun Maloney would be perfect for the u21s 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I was hoping that Euros qualification was going to buy Clarke the opportunity to have a much bigger input in how the game is run at youth level, particularly when it coincided with another U21 failure. However, that never really happened and Gemmill stayed on again. Maybe the World Cup performance (qualification or not) and yet another failure by Gemmill here will force a rethink.There are definitely some good people involved - Brian McLaughlin for example seems to be switched on. However I think there are too many people at the SFA now who are just seasoned youth coaches and therefore aren't really injecting new ideas. Continuity is a good thing but too much continuity isn't. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
