A decent half there. The only problems Scotland presented us were down to us creating them.
Duffy the enigma. Agent of chaos in terms of the system but such an asset in the opposition box.
Egan and Collins top class. McClean doing McClean things but, joking aside, he’s done well in the LWB position. One awful cross which is standard expectation at this stage. Kenny will feel Browne selection at RWB is vindicated with the goal (he called out Browne scoring two goals for Preston from RWB as part of his reasons for picking him there), but he clearly isn’t our best solution there when all are fit.
I much prefer the look of Cullen/Molumby vs Cullen/Hendrick, especially with the fact that we are playing a proper front two up front as it gives Knight the opportunity to do what he does best adding tempo and purpose in the final third.
For the criticisms deserved in the last two games, the plaudits for the performance in that 45 are warranted too. I’d like to see us get another couple. Scotland are no great shakes across the pitch. Finish them.
