We're not getting out of this group lol
Absolutely agree. I can’t believe how backward Scotland have gone in recent months. It’s almost as if Clarke has changed a formula that was working but for no discernible reason I can see but Gilmour has to startQuote:

If we beat Hungary we should go through. They have been rotten so far today.Quote:

On the bases of what I'm currently watching Switzerland are just a class up on Scotland
Aye that was what my initial 4 point aim was geared towards. We'd need 6 to get out group now that Swiss are 2 up hereQuote:

That’s something that the academies and performance schools really have to focus on in the next 5 years, specifically targeting those positions and identifying talent and coaching those positions thoroughly. Too many players who have been midfielders (for example) are later developed as centre halves, strikers later as defenders etc. I remember Paul Hanlon being a high scoring midfielder at youth level as an example. I don’t think we are doing enough to really identify and priority coach the main positions through the age levels.Quote:

Switzerland could have a slight advantage in playing Germany in the last game when the Germans will most likely already have top spot sewn up, but if we beat Switzerland and get a point against Hungary we would have that four points for 2nd spot
of course being Scotland we could beat Switzerland but then get hammered by Hungary :greengrin
i think :eek:
i love all the If's btw :)
Think 3rd place will go down to next Sunday’s game.
Think we will get scudded by both these teams on the showing so far. Grim.
No seen anything from Hungary to make me think that.Quote:

Hungary look (and this is hard based off last night) worse than us. Dreadful.Quote:

I actually think both these teams are beatable.
It is 2-1 now, Swiss have sat back this half inexplicably.
Hungary sneaking a draw here would be amazing. We can get results against these two
We are going through with 6 points, you heard it here first. :top marks
I’m subscribing to the glass half full team and I’ll say that losing in the way we did will produce a more significant response from the players than a 2 or 3 nil score line might have had - mibbies last night might prove not to have been a bad thing after allQuote:

Size of that Hungary number 9 who’s come on. Big lad who looks he’s no stranger to a pie
Getting beat 5-1 takes away the fear of getting beat 5-1, kind of way?Quote:
