Scotland: ‘Promising begin’ or ‘surprising’ show in North Macedonia?


Graham: Let’s not get carried away right here. They had been terrible but we might solely rating twice and managed to finish up with 10 males. Our lack of high quality within the remaining third actually confirmed.

William: The fact is North Macedonia had been utter garbage and but, for all our play, we managed one purpose, not withstanding a penalty. If we will not put three previous a workforce like that, after which a penalty bonus, then it is nonetheless poor.

Stuart: Completely dominant, sure, however a poor workforce towards a really poor workforce. Would like to say the longer term is vivid – right here is hoping – however do not maintain your breath.

Jason: I’ve by no means seen a workforce who continuously put strain on themselves. Ought to have scored at the least 5 targets, however slackness causes a pink card after which underneath strain with 10 males for the final 10 minutes. This could’t hold taking place. They should get up or we cannot even qualify for our personal Euro match.

Russell: I’m sorry, however there’s a lack of expert clever soccer but from Scotland and, to be straight, I’ve a humorous feeling the Belgian won’t be the suitable man.

Haz: I hope “Captain Unbelievable” Robertson apologises profusely to his teammates after the sport. Butchered a number of attacking conditions within the first half making an attempt to make all of it about him, then bought poor McKenna down the river with essentially the most inept defensive cross possible.

Andy: Scotland has simply crushed North Macedonia and it is all “what an excellent consequence”, and so forth, You must suppose how far you might have fallen. The place are your upcoming Dalglish, Souness, McGrain, Jordan, Strachan, McCoist, Nicolas, Hanson, McAllister and so many nice unbelievable gamers? The place are the brand new upcoming gamers? I am English however miss your nice gamers and nice Scottish workforce.

Iain: Scotland as at all times their very own worst enemy. Ought to have been out of sight earlier than the second purpose from the penalty spot. Sending off was brought on by a sloppy cross in defence and was completely avoidable. One other irritating night time, however a much-needed win.

Miller: Plenty of domination however completely surprising goalscoring file.

Gerry: This Scotland workforce beats shopping for Horlicks. I actually would not go to my entrance window in the event that they had been taking part in on my garden.

Lindsey: Let’s be sincere, North Macedonia are at present a poor aspect and we should always have bagged extra targets. To have that many alternatives and solely get one within the web (in play) just isn’t ok. Tuesday night time is large. We can’t be controlling the sport and can subsequently have to make sure higher deliveries into the field so the strikers can do their job.

Maurice: How the commentators obtained enthusiastic about this I will by no means know. Robertson and [Ben] Gannon-Doak run up and down the traces, however there’s completely no finish product. And I hope McKenna shakes Robertson’s hand for the quick cross that obtained him a pink card. And [Oli] McBurnie, effectively, he tries!

Jeffrey: [Scott] McKenna far too rash. Sure, it is a unhealthy cross, however an accident ready to occur. Welsh and Binks look good and I might give [Luke] Graham an opportunity. Ought to’ve been 4 up earlier than the pink.

Jim: I can’t get excited by this victory and would argue this was a victory that flattered us. This was a really poor North Macedonian workforce. We scored a terrific purpose, the opposite being an especially uncertain penalty. We seemingly have few putting choices at present and are lacking the likes of [Scott] McTominay, however it can’t disguise the scant assets accessible to the brand new supervisor. We want a really pressing rethink and rebuild of the sport right here in Scotland or we are going to proceed to be what we at present are the “almost boys of world soccer”.

John: Sure a win. Efficiency surprising! Gannon-Doak was ponderous, slowed the motion on most events and his supply, finish product was dreadful. Sure, he has expertise, however until somebody coaches him and works on supply, he might be ruined. At current, he isn’t ok for a nationwide workforce due to these failings. John McGinn once more was poor. Sluggish, rotten contact, not working for the workforce however falls down repeatedly, a couple of times very embarrassingly! Mr 100 cap began strongly, however had he performed a few passes, when required, McBurnie would have had a couple of targets. McBurnie once more was superb. Most of his first touches opened up wonderful subject positions selling a quick transition to assault. Appears very promising with Bowie. Gunn, Hendry, McKenna, McGinn, Christie have had their day.

Fergus: An okay efficiency towards a weak workforce. I am not shopping for it was thrilling/attacking yada yada, as a result of towards a workforce that unhealthy you’ll be able to’t gauge it. Very good performances from a number of. I believed Bowie was very good and by no means gave up. In opposition to anybody marginally higher, Scotland will get came upon fairly rapidly. May do with taking part in constantly higher opposition to see the place we actually are.

Neil: Scotland, regardless of dominating, had been unable to place the ball within the web. Bowie scored purpose, the penalty was mushy, aside from that they failed to attain. In opposition to higher opposition this continued failure might be pricey.

Douglas: Wow, they’ve received a sport towards a ineffective workforce. Cling the bunting out, decree a Scottish vacation – pathetic requirements.
