The BBC says different to your stats mate:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19463788

BBC says we had 51% possession.

We also had the best of the chances and didnt take them.....not really Levein's fault that other than saying if Miller wasnt on the park perhaps we might've taken one, might've had someone else in the right place at the right time......perhaps not.

We forced 12 corners, and didnt utilise them, nearly caught them with the early ones but too many balls were also hung up at the back stick by Adam instead of whipping them into the danger area like he normally does......cant really blame Levein for that.

There were actually some positives to take away from the game on Saturday by the way.....like the fact we didnt look like a complete bunch of haddies and actually held our own against a team that has some quality players and have just as good a chance of qualifying as we do

I think it's natural to have reservations about Levein. His win record even this early is not great, even for a Scotland manager.

With regard to Fletcher, Levein is in the right, the player must do what he has to do.

But Levein is hardly inspiring confidence. Granted a lot of the opprobrium he is getting is media driven, and, if I may say, a few Rangers people have a chip on their shoulder with him after his time a United manager. (McCurry game for example) But his approach with the national team is a little negative.

True, you can only p!sh with what you're born with, and he does not have the most technically gifted players at his disposal. But he should play to the strengths we have. These mostly lie in wide areas. But he hasn't found the formula as yet.

"His win record even this early is not great, even for a Scotland manager."

He's lost one game at home....to Spain

"Levein is hardly inspiring confidence.".....its the negative attitude towards him becasue he played 0 strikers up front nearly 3 years ago now thats not inspiring confidence.

If people could put that mistake he made behind them, took a fresh approach and seen how far Levein and the team he is building have moved on from that farce.....confidence would be inspired.

Yes st3vie, commendable

who have his wins come against, and how convincing would you say they were?

that is what I was pointing out. you don't qualify for tournaments with draws mate

"that is what I was pointing out. you don't qualify for tournaments with draws mate"

No you dont.....but a draw is beter than a defeat....and when you've got a tougher task ahead of you than some of the guys that were in charge before becasue your seeding has dropped and you are now a pot four team.....a draw in the first match agasint the team drawn from pot two, in my eyes, isnt too bad...not great, but not a defeat.

Two draws in two home games will seriously dent our qualification hopes.....one draw against a side as good as ourselves is acceptable

Yep, I agree. My original point was only that it is natural to have reservations just now.

You are absolutely correct regarding the sins of his predecessors. I have one gripe. I made a point yesterday that Levein seems to have put on the same coat as Smith and McCleish in terms of approaching the game. It is over cautious at times, certainly compared with his philosophy as a club manager.

Time will tell I suppose.

Tim still at it.

Tim you should try watching some football at International level.
