Have to say I'm a wee bit disappointed with this as we should be going all-out to win this group and get into league A/have a backup route to the 2022 playoffs.
That said, fully appreciate some of the squad will be physically and mentally drained right now!
Would have preferred Griff up top doesnt look to bad intresting to see how Tierney plays in the wing back position,I'm assuming Considine will play left side of back 3Quote:

Come on Scotland 🏴
As someone who was there there the last time we played Slovakia away it’s no bad thing fans are missing this trip to Trnava 😀
Hopefully today is the day McBurnie shuts me up :greengrin
Even with the team from the other night this would be a tough game, freshen it up and hope the boys from the sidelines carry on that high, but if not, it’s an extra few days rest for the ‘first teamers’ going into the Israel game.Quote:

hope i dont jinx it but we're looking fairly comfortable the first 20 mins
A familiar story.
Dominating but wasting chance after chance.
Armstrong booked, out of game in israel, after watching the fouls on christie i think that's a tad harsh
1-0 Slovakia
This could be a Hibs match day threadQuote:

Bring back Craig Levein.
Deflected off of Mclean
Kenny McLean is useless, he just dropped deeper and deeper and he ends up behind the central defender's rather than keeping his position and pressing the ball.
McBurnie straight at the goalkeeper!!
Mcburnue header straight at keeper unfortunately
Exactly what I was thinking why was he so deep when the shot came from his area of the pitch.Quote:

Think we’re actually playing pretty well again and showing plenty attacking threat, unfortunate to be behind. Need to take our chances. Christie looking bright every time he’s on the ball, so is Tierney.
A lot of going nowhere pit pat football going on from Scotland at the moment.
I think Scotland have played quite well and unlucky to be losing.Quote:

this really should have been so different
McBurnie should have two by now, Griffiths would’ve scored at least one in the same positions.
By far the better team. Get griff on for Mick Burnie and we'll win imo
McBurnie is still absolutely honking and should be nowhere near the Scotland squad nevermind ahead of Griffiths, Shankland and Nisbet
We’ve played some good football first half, hard to believe we’re behind. McBurnie just isn’t good enough, get Griffiths on for the second half.
McBurnie is like a man down and McLean offers nothing also, would like to see McTominay played in his natural central midfield role, it's where he shines when playing for Man U.
Is there, per chance. McBurnie isn’t Scottish ?! And so ineligible to play ?!
Created a lot of chances, rarely tested in defence, two shots from outside the box is about as much as they’ve mustered. Quite impressed by our second string, positive signs despite the scoreline.Quote:

Not a huge fan of Kenny McLean, he just seems to coast through games and sits too deep.
Wtf was that header from McBurnie? If it wasn’t for the fact he went for goal it looked like he’s trying to knock it down to a team mate rather than score with it with the way he’s cushioned it.
Unfortunate to be behind but need to take our chances. I'm no hiding behind the couch watching us these days which is a massive improvement from past decades.
Think we’ve played well. Positive signs. Watching us the other night and today, you can see that we have some good footballers. It’s not like Scotland teams of the past that might nick the odd result away from home but did it through defending for 90 minutes and nicking a goal on the break.
Spot on, must be doing something at club level but certainly not producing it here.Quote:

How bad is Provan? “McBurnie’s elbows were up but nowhere near fouling”. Replay, “No problem there.” 2nd replay, “I might be wrong”.
Another good chance missed there, great save from the keeper. McBurnie has had chances, time to bring on LG
It was a great save. Can't blame McLeanQuote:

Shouldn’t be missing a free header from there imo.Quote:

So we take the goalies - not inconsiderable - contribution out of the equation?Quote:

The goalies contribution should never be part of the equation with a free header from 8 yards. It should be in the back of the net regardless of what the keeper does unless it’s something outrageous. Whilst it was a good save, it wasn’t outrageous.Quote:

What a chance at the end.
how disappointing that mcburnies missed chances cost us at least a point, still, only a p@shy deflected goal gave them the points as they never really bothered us.
Decent performance but a poor result.
Actually played no to bad TBH
Win Israel and all is well again
