Still short of match fitness or just unlucky?

what do you make of the match last night? Scotland looked dangerous going forward but i think most players are still a wee bit short on the fitness side of things, as Faddy wasn't really as quick as we've seen him in the euro qualifiers....
that being said, NI were dogged in defense and i think this and Maik Taylor was also another big factor in it remaining goalless.
overall they looked sharper and in better shape than in the last two friendlies, bring on Macedonia and Iceland!
I thought we played well, got the ball down and passed it whenever we could but just lacked that bit of extra skill and luck in the final third. I actually thought Kris Commons played quite well when he came on, hopefully he'll be a good find for us instead of a Vogts-esque find!
i agree, i think we played well, but i think jimmsy lacked a yard or two of pace, he had some good touches, but lacked the final touch as did wee darren and kenny miller.
i think form here on in it should be good as the fitness progresses
