Too many short memories To be honest I'm just thinking of ourselves with hoping they do better, I'd rather we didn't get dragged down to playing loads of qualifiers cause the rest of Scottish football is shite in Europe.

Honestly thought it was a mistake when he got the job in stark contrast to Barry Robson who seemed a dead cert to kick on. I thought around the start of October that they'd both be out of a job by January. Naismith has done a good job after a tricky start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland has been the difference between 5th or 6th and being relatively comfortably 3rd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they're recruiting well enough that they'll not get the same quality as Shankland but still be comfortably 3rd next year again. I think they'd still be 3rd without Shankland this season.

It's not like if you take Shankland out of the team that everything disappears though, someone else is in his place albeit probably not as good they'd still be getting goals/assists. They're 11 points ahead of 4th place, I don't think they lose 12 points without Shankland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,730 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Fair play to Spittal. Could have gave up after leaving us, went down to Queens Park with the likes of Andy Robertson, followed him to UTD and has worked his way up (albeit not at the same level as Andy Robertson). Good move for him. ayrshireranger and J-Maestro 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWAC 2,264 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Defending and finishing is woeful.

bam74 1,033 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 No surprise the Netherlands scored 4 goals against a back line consisting of Porteous, Hendry and Tierney. Decent against the pish but absolutely nowhere near the level the Scottish press would have you believe. ayrshireranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,304 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Souttar had a nightmare when he came on.. Gunn is shite. I see people saying 4-0 flattered the Dutch, but they could have had about 4 more after the 4th. Scotland had their chances as well, but when they brought a bit of quality on it was boys against men. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
