Seemed to play with the shackles off tonight and for the best part, looked dangerous. Ran out of legs a bit in the second half and I thought Poland deserved the equaliser, it what an end, what a strength of character, delighted šŸ“󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁓ó æ

This. Not many teams can go the distance in a game like that and find enough to win it. I`d say Poland settled for a draw with a few minutes left knowing that guaranteed 3rd place. We needed another goal and for once we got it.

The cross from Soutar was absolute perfection and Robertson finished it brilliantly, ironically I`d been giving him pelters for his crossing and set pieces.

7 points from 3 games is decent and we could easily have had at least a couple of extra points in the first 3 fixtures.

Promising.

I agree about Robertson who had an off game and reminds me of Lewis McCann who came up trumps in the end despite playing *****.
It was a long shot us getting the results we wanted but at least we won and did our part.
Ben Doak looks like a game changer for us in future games and a really exciting winger

His corners and crossing were awful.

Defensively he was very good and he kept possession in tight situations. Not his best performance, but in the top 5 on the park tonight easily!

That was surreal. Scotland had more possession, more shots on target and more corners - away from home against a team 20 places above us in the FIFA rankings! For the winning goal to come in added time with a header from our left back from a cross by a centre back was the icing on the cake. Let`s hope it counts for something!

Behave yourselves guys, Robertson was inspirational. And coming up with the winner was magical.

Great result tonight.

Kept possession really well after the early goal which was great to see,
midfield were so comfortable on the ball under pressure and great we now have Doak in there as an outball to run at teams and stretch them.

Hickey and Ferguson should be back soon too so thats a big plus. Just a decent centre
forward away from having a right good team, and thats not a dig at Dykes as he`s the best we have for that role currently in the system Clarke plays.

I THINK, but donā€™t quote me on it TAFKA, that Hickey is out for the season again mate. Other than MOTD and WBA games, I donā€™t really follow English football, but there was definitely an interview with Thomas Franks where he said that Hickey had suffered a set back in his recovery, it wasnā€™t good and that it looked to be season ending sadly. Sure it was about September I saw it. I havenā€™t seen or heard anything since.

Agree. He was good otherwise but it killed our threat a few times.


It will be interesting to see what happens when Tierney is back. With Clarke now playing a back 4 he might need to play in front of Robertson, or as an out and out centre half, rather than the left of a back 3.

In time is it worth trying McTominay in the Dykes role? It seems less mental than playing him at centre half...we seem to have lots of very good midfielders, and a couple coming through so might allow us to play more of our better players.

Suddenly there are lots of options!

Good game and good performance.Still thought we conceded a lot of chances and if Lewandowski was there he would have buried one or two. We looked more composed on the ball in tight areas than we have previously and played some good stuff though.I was pleased that we continued to show attacking intent after taking the lead and we`re unlucky not to add to it in the 1st half especially.

There are some weird highlights out there! One set from Footballduck(?) looked like they were edited with garden shears and those from Inside Football looked like they were filmed by a guy in the crowd using his phone and showed the final whistle before the winning goal! There are decent ones on Youtube based on last night`s coverage though.

Iā€™m sure ā€œIā€™ll deal with it when it comes to itā€ will be in Clarkeā€™s mind, however I wonder if the answer is Strachanā€™s solution of playing KT in at Right Back. Keeps a back 4, with Hickey not set to return any time soon then is KT a better option in there to Ralston or Devlinā€¦,possibly.

I think KT needs to be playing himself before any decision is made. Someone who follows it better than me will know, but is he injured still or now just out of favour at Arsenal??

Really entertaining game, ball retention seemed to play second fiddle to getting up the park which was great. Mcgregor really isn`t missed and I hope we can find a way to fit Ferguson in there without stifling him. It really has shown the insanity of how he set the team up at the Euros.

Robertson often doesn`t put in good crosses in a Scotland jersey.

2 wins against teams much further up the rankings than us, plus a draw v 7th place.
We must have jumped a fair bit in the FIFA rankings. We were 51st.
Update is 22 Nov, I think.

Or is it 28th Nov. Last update was 22nd Oct, so the Portugal game has been included.

Absolutely fantastic game , must be one of our most attacking away displays, if only the same type of entertainment at EEP.
Still playoffs to come , no one will want to draw Scotland now.
