Today's Diddy Games

You’re not a big fan of your questions going unanswered

True, I'm keen on addressing issues rather than not giving a single flock about them.

Scotland's players deserve some credit for going 9 games in a row unbeaten. Also for qualifying (albeit via the playoffs rather than the groups). They also deserve credit for appearing to put in greater effort in games than some of their predecessors.

However within this there are some questions that need asking. We qualified by penalties because we couldn't score enough goals. We threw away the latest nations league group by winning both games against the group winners but not scoring enough goals against the weaker teams.

Although we got away with it, we took off our best penalty takers when it looked like we needed them to win a game.

I couldn't understand why, when in the pole position, we played our 'B' team against the weakest team in the group when, if we had won, there would have been no pressure on the final game, where we could have played the 'B' team for experience without pressure to win. I understand we may not have wanted to play the top team in all three games but surely securing qualifying against the bottom team with out top team would have been the way to go.

The manager has a few decisions that are questionable.

I would say the most questionable decision would be why he persists with Oli McBurnie, still can’t believe Sheffield United paid £20 million for him.

Overall Clarke has done a really good job in getting us to a tournament after 22 years without being at one.

But yes some of his decisions have been questionable, I think he needs to start bringing through some of the u21 players for the World Cup qualifiers instead of persevering with some of the players he is picking at the moment.

We sneaked into the Euros through the back door and 2 penalty shoot outs, it doesn't get any jammier than that. Unless we can find at least one half decent striker before the tournament starts, I predict we will lose every game and not even score a goal.

Don’t really know much about him but Fraser Hornby has scored 10 goals in 16 games for the Scotland u21s.

Surely he is a better option than McBurnie?

I'm a better option than McBurnie.

I went to the u21s v Lithuania at Tynecastle last season. One of the worst games I have ever been to.0-0 and both teams absolutely devoid of ideas

Hornby was the worst player on the pitch by a long way. I was shocked to see him having broke the U21 scoring record

Hat-Tricks against Andorra and San Marino helped there
He did get a brace against Holland though

A bit of the Steven Fletcher syndrome then. 10 goals, 6 v Gibraltar and 1 v Malta.

Didn't realise both Kennedy and Leigh were playing for Norn Iron and Jamaica. Not sure what one was playing for who though. Anyone know?
