Think some people just like to moan, don't think the game has been the worst and we've not made a bad start.

We're far too deep as well. Soon as they get the ball were at our own box inviting them on. Squeeze it all up 20 yards the gaps between us are far too big

Chris Iwelumo as well.  Still I cannot believe how he managed that miss against Norway. 

Why would you do that? I'd thankfully forgotten about him and THAT miss

And it never will be with that attitude.  
Scotland should play to the strengths we have.

- organised defensively
- in your face approach, making life as awkward as we can for the opposition
- get it to the creative, tricky players quickly
- and become set piece demons

It's been a farcical performance so far.


I’d like a higher press and better balls into the box, but I’ll reserve slating the team for when longer than 30 minutes of a new manager’s reign has elapsed.

Getting in the oppositions face and pressing effectively takes time to implement. If you rush it you'll just leave gaps in behind. Clarke's had a few days with the players, give him a few games and things may change.

Most new managers start by defending deep and taking fewer chances. Cyprus have had one half chance so far.
