It would be suicidal for Scotland to play as open as they did against Slovenia as there's too much pace in that England team and they've better and more instinctive strikers. England will win in an open end to end match. Scotland need to sit back and as hard as that is too stomach not going for the jugular against your arch rival, a draw keeps Scotland in the hunt for second. This isn't as much of a must win as the Slovenia game was. A bit of pragmatism is needed imo. If it was ourselves ONeill would have us sitting back and keeping it right even at home against England who are a better team with more attacking threats. Probably the right answer. And in answer to the original poster... it won't be glorious failure this time, just failure... we are not good enough for glorious failure at the moment.
