Would rather see Patterson sit this tournament out,The whole shit show could affect his confidence because I can see us getting destroyed by England and Croatia,
Let the heroes that kicked it off finish it.
There is that.
My own reflection on today was that Clarke is just a pysh manager.
However, he has been lucky in getting us into a tournament that only the likes of Malta and Luxembourg have missed out on.
Even then he almost cocked it up.
That said, recently there has been a few players emerge who could lift this Scotland team up a level.
Players that can play at a higher technical level than O'Donnell, Christie or Dykes.
Clarke simply won't play them because he is a Kilmarnock 'backs to the wall' type manager who cannot grasp that possession of the ball is the secret to playing in European tournament football.
However, he is not alone, it has always been a blind spot in Scotland.
Even more enlightened journalists would only abandon the Craig Brown defensive hide behind the sofa strategy, for the old highland charge up the field that gets the blood racing and gives you glorious failure but a failure nonetheless.
Young Gilmour needs to be given the sitting midfield role with McGinn allowed to sit behind the strikers.
Patterson may be raw but he is just a better football player than the extremely limited O'Donnell.
Dykes isn't a starter in a team hoping to get a foothold in a game.
As for Armstrong and McTominay, both of them failed totally to enhance their reputations today.
Although the Manchester United lad at least has youth on the side of any blame.
The goalkeeper and the Filth lad that does his best work unseen by anyone in Scotland both sold the second goal, and quite honestly in doing so sold the game and probably the section.
I would sack Clark tonight and give Graeme Souness the call, but I doubt that would make me popular in SNP-run Scotland.
But there you go.
