Too many balls going backwards even though we are getting the chance to go forward , far too slow and predictable as usual very negative at present
patterson needs to be taken off before he gives any more gifts to NI
Clarke needs to change a few things for the second half because going forward we are dire , forwards not getting a sniff because the ball isn`t getting to them

75% possession, back 3 easily had the majority of that, with little aspiration of playing forward, always to the wing who passes straight back without even a look, or to Gilmour who is the only one who seems to lift his head, but lack of support means he hasn`t been as effective

N.Ireland sat back as expected. Rather than all the passing back it should just have been shot after shot. Instead it was something close to "shot" but a different vowel.

Dykes is like playing with 10 men, yet he starts. Scotland`s best performing midfielder doesn`t start again cause he isn`t far enough up the favourites pecking order. No attempt to see if we have an alternative right back, which will kill us if Hickey doesn`t return. We have so many midfield options, why not see what McTominay can do up front - it`s where he used to play. Clark was happy enough to play him as centre-half.
I just don`t get what the point of that game was tonight.

A lot of the squad still coming back from injuries, some not even first pick for their teams.

Ireland played in their faces, some dubious tackling and 10 men behind the ball, difficult to break down.

There needed to be a few ‘robust’ tackles handed back - we were bullied, and did nothing about it.
We had plenty ineffective possession, with almost every ball out wide being returned back inside, instead of pinging one across the box.
Even the few crosses that did go in were after additional interplay that allowed the defence to set up.
Poor poor display

I`m amazed Patterson finished the game, he really needs to find a way to be playing games between now and the euros or he`s a waste of a seat on the plane. I think N.Ireland knew he was a weak link and targeted him.
The game reminded me a bit of when we were beaten 2-0 by Airdrie a month or so ago. They set up really compact in the centre of defence and got forward really quickly when they had the chance. Scotland (or Dunfermline) maybe needed a change of shape sooner to get greater numbers up front, or to try to get more wide to draw them out. We were pretty shaky at the back too so that may have prevented some of that push forward or reshuffle.

Awful game last night with absolutely no pass marks for anyone, especially disappointing after the mostly positive display from Friday.
Hopefully getting poor performances out of the way before the Euros, tho we usually play well against better opposition - I don`t think any of our summer opponents will sit with 11 men behind the ball for the majority of the game.
