aye I think christie and McGregor would and could do the same,
You said Scotland dont produce players like Solomon & Natcho that can unlock defences I say there is a few players in our squad who can unlock defences and score a goal
I'm just not sure there is any evidence to back that claim. This calendar year we have played 8 games and scored 6 goals. SIX. That does not speak to me of players unlocking defences and scoring, it speaks to me of a team struggling to break defences down and scraping results here and there. (We conceded 5 over the same period)
Yes, we have had a couple of decent results, but lets be realistic about the abilities. Going back to October/November last year we scored 11 goals in 3 games, just sadly that was against the might of Kazakhstan, Cyprus and San Marino (and only against San Marino did we keep a clean sheet).
Israel are something like FIFA ranked 85th, and that appears to be the level where we start to struggle. Lets not kid ourselves about the Czech results, with half their team missing one game and pretty much the whole team the other.
I am not being negative before the usual suspects start, but realistic. You don't jump in an Austin Metro and go 155mph just because you believe it can and to think otherwise is negativity.
