Watched the whole game tonight and was really disappointed in the performance though much more so by the style of play. We looked fitter and a bit stronger physically but I can barely remember a prolonged passing sequence, any consistent technical interplay, any real comfort or confidence on the ball? We had some pace, some nice individual runs and some decent individual performances but I got no sense at all of any kind of footballing philosophy. Compare with the ball skills and confidence in possession of say the Spanish, the ability to build from the back and play out of tight spaces... I just couldn't see any sign of that. Only one game and it was a win I know but that really shouldn't be the point. Brendan was pretty critical of our developmentlevels when he arrived and on this evidence I can see why. Genuinely shocked at level of both teams on the day but probs being too harsh. |

Terrible, actually, non-existent closing down from the bhoys. |

Not quite non existent as the shot deflected in off Miller's boot, but certainly could have been quicker and more decisive. |

The youths defending has been rotten in this tournament. Majority of the goals have been gifted. |

He stood still and stuck his leg out. That's not closing down. No communication at the second, they'll get crucified for that. Could still come back into it. |

Is it me or do the heads go down very easily in this group of players? Three chances to clear the first goal and no shout or challenge at the second. Nice on the eye going forward but virtually no defensive backbone whatsoever! |

I don't think so tbh. At this level the game can often swing wildly in favour of either team a few times during the match. We've had two good chances since they got their second. |

Weird first half. We looked at least as good as them and go in 3 down. |

The lad Watson lacks the essential ingredient of courage, he will never make a top flight player IMHO. The right back needs to realise that he isn't there to look nice and play tippy tippy football, he has to want to tackle his considerable weight and height. Scottish youth players really need the reintroduction of reserve team football to give them experience against older pros and show them that if they want to make it, they need to work much harder! |

Poor at the back, lots of passes going astray. Going forward though has been decent especially Johnston, would expect a couple more first team appearances this season. |
