   A deeper look at Pocognoli's shape, system and players after his first camp

   Scotland were pretty battered by Slovenia on Tuesday. A wide open defence and insipid forward play led to the 2-1 outcome. But we looked decent at times in Slovenia and North Macedonia. What are the narratives now? We don't have the players? We should have been careful what we wished for? Is this reactivity or valid question raising? The guys have a chat after a bit of dust settling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

   Abject Scotland defeated at Hampden by Slovenia

   Back to the drawing board. A turgid display of football at Hampden. A 2-1 defeat means we are pretty certain to be pot 3 for the Euros draw. But more alarmingly than the result, the positivity from some of the previous displays under Pocognoli has been undone as Slovenia absolutely bossed us and had us sussed out easily. Andrew Petrie joins Andy Bargh not long after full time for a quick chat. More in depth episode to come this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

   Pocognoli gets first win as Scotland manager during dominant performance in North Macedonia

   If only we could finish chances! Scotland were excellent in North Macedonia but our lack of a clinical touch left the result at 2-0. Bowie impressed, Binks and Welsh brilliant, Gilmour influential, Gannon-Doak promising, Robbo reaches 100... let's just hope we can put the ball away a bit better over the next three games. A good night overall. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Published 4 Dec 2023 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Asia, they're all going to tune in for us. And you just never know what Scotland's got this. Because it surprises a few times over the last couple of years now. So you never know. Yeah, it's true. You never know. That's Germany's form isn't great as we've just touched on. So we have them on the 14th in Munich. All the games have an 8 p .m. kick off our time. So 8 p .m. 14th of June, Germany in Munich. And then 19th of June, Switzerland in Cologne. And then the 23rd of June, Hungary in Stuttgart. So it's all kind of done the west side of Germany. I think a good few hours separate Frank Fertz. And a Munich on the train. […]
