2013年3月30日Link to video: Gordon Strachan: Scottish footballtshirtuk.com needs wholesale reformTwo second-half goals inside 10 minutes from the Serbia forward Filip Djuricic gave Gordon Strachan much to ponder as his much-changed Scotland football shirt side succumbed to familiar defensive failings in trying conditions in Serbia.It was Scotland’s fourth successive World Cup qualifying defeat and it was nothing more than they deserved after failing to deal with two routine balls into the box that were finished with ease by Djuricic midway through the second half to give the home side a comfortable victory that keeps their slim qualification hopes alive.The setting was less than inspiring. There was a poor crowd inside a ramshackle 12,000-capacity ground on a dank Serbian evening.The Serbians, who had lost 2-0 to their neighbours and bitter rivals Cheap croatia football shirt on Friday, applauded all the way through Flower of Scotland football shirts which suggested a sporting encounter was about to unfold.But the much-changed visitors were on the defensive for large periods of a match that descended into a scrappy, disjointed affair played on a glue pot of a surface.Scotland’s goalkeeper David Marshall, a surprise choice ahead of Besiktas’s Allan McGregor, was forced to make an early save from Djuricic, who was sent through on goal by the Serbia captain, Branislav Ivanovic, while Vladimir Stojkovic was a mere spectator in goal at the other end.

Cheap scotland football shirts were living dangerously, too often at the edge of their own penalty area.In the 20th minute, though, after they had got a foothold in the game and pushed further up the park, Djuricic took a long ball from the back and skipped past Scotland’s uncompromising central defender Grant Hanley with some ease but Marshall was again equal to the task, diving low to block the forward’s drive.Djuricic would not be denied in the second half, as a low pass was played into the Scotland football shirt half from the left which the visitors’ defence failed to clear.Djuricic let the ball run across him to make space for the shot, which he stabbed home from six yards with Marshall stranded. Six minutes later he pounced again. It was all over for Scotland football shirt.Rhodes came closest for the visitors with a half-chance a few minutes later, but could not get his shot away.In the 80th minute Chris Burke replaced Shaun Maloney and Kenny Miller came on for the ineffective Jordan Rhodes but the game petered out to another dark blue disappointment.
