This guy has to go if we are to have any hope of getting to Brazil 2014.

It's criminal that he doesn't even attempt to bury the hatchet with S Fletcher, especially as we're not blessed with a plethora of potent players. He's had 2 years to show us progress, unfortunately, I'm not seeing it. He should go whilst there is still time to turn the situation round.

Avril out - ???? in!
 
still going with one up front at home!!!
Rhodes is a goal machine and he persists with Miller who has been a great servant but not exactly our in form striker, one goal in Canadian football me thinks??
don't know if the Tartan fannies would take Watty back, at least he got fire in the bellies of the players, probably a wee bit of unfinished business there
 
He's being pig headed about Fletcher ... and the constant picking of Miller!

Miller works better with a second Striker next to him - he's not a lone Striker!

Now, at 32, he needs binned. He playing in a nothing league for a nothing team and isn't on form (is he ever, apart from that patch at der huns).

He also needs to tell Charlie Adam - stop pinging the ball 40 yards! He wasted possesion so mnay times.
 
Has to be strachan...he got Caldwell and McManus out of the CL group stages ffs...and come on, Myth and Eek would play the same players in the same formation as Avril
 
We managed to carve out 2 half-chances at home against a very ordinary looking Serb team. The manager is tactically inept and needs to go. Bring back Sir Walter.

maybe, but do you think Avril has it in him to organise these players well enough to beat France home and away?

If you mean beat a stumbling giant twice and still fail to qualify because you can't beat the wee teams...then yes

In any case, Scotland doesn't need cowards

Berti Vogts, still Scotlands best manager since Craig Brown <doh>
 
Andy Roxburgh is available now...

[h=1]Andy Roxburgh to leave Uefa technical director post[/h]
Former Scotland coach Andy Roxburgh is to leave his job as Uefa technical director after almost 20 years in post.
Roxburgh joined Uefa in 1994, a year after leaving the Scottish FA.
However, the 69-year-old, who led Scotland to the 1990 World Cup and Euro '92, says he does not "intend to hang up my coaching boots".
"We will try to find some life in the old boots," he said. "It's just a natural process. My contract comes to an end."
Uefa are not expected to appoint a replacement as technical director but will maintain the department that Roxburgh has led.
Roxburgh revealed that his last main duty will be presenting the Euro 2012 technical analysis to a conference in late September.
"We have a national coaches' conference in Warsaw and that will be the last big event I will lead at Uefa," said the Glaswegian.

Scotland doesn't need cowards!!!

do you class McGeady and McCarthy in that bracket?

Scotland needs a good manager, end of!
 
McLeish was two bad reffing decisions away from taking us to a major tourney, Smith turned us around when we were gash and put a steel in the team that meant we played a brilliant France team twice and kept two clean sheets. Strachan has worked near miracles with very ordinary players in the past.

Any of those three would do me just now - about the only footballing resource we're not short on is managers - in Levein's defence, had the Rhodes/Forrest/Mackie substitutes created a goal, he'd be claiming a clever substitution.

I don't actually think he went with entirely the wrong gameplan - I would just have had Forrest or Mackie on from the start instead of Snodgrass and Rhodes on earlier.

Miller did what Miller does - it might not create loads of chances but he's a good outball that eases pressure on us (unless Charlie Adam is pinging stupid 40 yarders at him when he's marked by two 7ft Slavs <doh>)

0-0 isnae a disaster but anything less than a convincing win during the week and Avril can't have much time left.

I thought Snodgrass was our best player until he got taken off.

Levein needs to get to **** though.
