Gordopolis Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 It’s a pretty convoluted route to the World Cup via the nations league. Essentially two of the twelve playoff spots available can be won via the nations league if you win your group and don’t finish in the top two of your other group.Indeed. Nae danger we're finishing top 2 of our main group but we have a decent chance of winning our NL group... If we take it seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid we try to move forward quickly before they get re-organised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser is a decent player when he shows up, and Considine hasn't done too much wrong yet. We've not created a chance or had a shot on target at home to a juch changed Slovakian side. Better defensively, but we are still woeful on the ball. The fact we are keeping the ball a bit better isnt much progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clarke is going to do awesome with us, you can see it coming on. We are going to be a team that doesn;t concede many goals, and what a starting point that is. Its very exciting, though turgid pish to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 McLean was a very good player for Aberdeen and I like him, but he doesn't half enjoy taking three or four unnecessary touches before deciding to make a pass he could have made after his first touch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Half time and another 45 minutes of typical Scotland under Steve Clark.Pedestrian, unimaginative, no shots on target. Same old same old, dull as dishwater.Slovakia don’t look that arsed either tbf. This will likely fade out to another 0-0, not even a penalty shoot out to look forward to tonight. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Cabbage Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I tweeted that we were moving the ball quicker and pressing and this was a lot better about 20 minutes in and since then it’s been rotten. I’d like to apologise to all and I’ll shut up in future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The last couple of games have seen us look a bit more secure defensively but fecking he’ll it’s a grim watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) I think we’ve been reasonably good tbh. A wee shot on target wouldn’t go amiss though. Edited October 11, 2020 by Londonwell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I think we look a lot better to be honest. Keeping the ball more, we have made some decent quick moves forward with Dykes and Fraser - more positive overall. Look a bit more solid defensively. Shots on target are just about the only area that hasn’t improved sadly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
