Scotland were pretty battered by Slovenia on Tuesday. A wide open defence and insipid forward play led to the 2-1 outcome. But we looked decent at times in Slovenia and North Macedonia. What are the narratives now? We don't have the players? We should have been careful what we wished for? Is this reactivity or valid question raising? The guys have a chat after a bit of dust settling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Back to the drawing board. A turgid display of football at Hampden. A 2-1 defeat means we are pretty certain to be pot 3 for the Euros draw. But more alarmingly than the result, the positivity from some of the previous displays under Pocognoli has been undone as Slovenia absolutely bossed us and had us sussed out easily. Andrew Petrie joins Andy Bargh not long after full time for a quick chat. More in depth episode to come this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

If only we could finish chances! Scotland were excellent in North Macedonia but our lack of a clinical touch left the result at 2-0. Bowie impressed, Binks and Welsh brilliant, Gilmour influential, Gannon-Doak promising, Robbo reaches 100... let's just hope we can put the ball away a bit better over the next three games. A good night overall. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jack Hendry's early red card pretty much ruined any chance of excitement or learning about Sebastian Pocognoli's style as Switzerland swatted us aside 3-0. McBurnie played well & Binks' debut was fine. Other than that, nothing to feel good or positive about after the encouragement in Slovenia. The boys chat about Gunn, McGinn, Hendry, options and more.

How many changes will Sebastian Pocognoli make from the World Cup squad? Some seem certainties to drop out, like Souttar, Fletcher and Stewart + more, but who is likely to come in? Have Welsh and Graham earned a spot at CB? Gilmour and surely Miller to return in midfield? And what about up front, will Hirst or Dykes keep their place with Ure and Bowie impressing?

What XI can the boys build considering the players that fans have demanded to see most fervently over the years? Does Robbie McCrorie meet the threshold in goals? What about Ross McCormack or Jordan Rhodes up front? Ryan Fraser on the wing, or did we want to see Gannon-Doak more? Can anyone top Ryan Gauld's clamour for a midfield spot? And who have we wanted to see at full-back over the years? Thanks for listening! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
