NOTHING says MATTHEW LINDSAY

IF it ain't broke don't fix it.Scotland performed superbly at Ibrox. Sure, they passed up a few scoring chances but you'd fancy Steven Fletcher, Shaun Maloney, Ikechi Anya or Steven Naismith to net if they get an opportunity in Poland tomorrow night.

The match in Warsaw will be completely different to the Georgia one on Saturday.

Gordon Strachan's team will have less of the ball and will have to defend far more than in Glasgow. But Scott Brown and James Morrison as deep-lying midfielders in a 4-2-3-1 formation will help the national team soak up any pressure they face.

Anya has searing pace on the counter attack, Maloney is tricky and Naismith relishes the physical aspect of the game. I would keep faith with every one of them.

Up front, Steven Fletcher is outstanding in the air. There could be nobody better for Scotland to have as a lone striker if they need to revert to Route One football.

BACK TO PLAN A says RONNIE CULLY

The euphoria generated by getting our first three points on the board, and the performance which won them, can't be allowed to detract from the fact Georgia at home and Poland away are two very different propositions.

So, while the attacking game plan which was executed efficiently at Ibrox has left everyone feeling upbeat, in Waraw, Gordon Strachan must instruct his players to revert to what they do best.

That means a solid formation with a lone attacker - possibly Steven Naismith, despite his below-par performance against Georgia, or the more powerful Chris Martin - and midfielders with pace, ready to burst forward and support when the ball is turned over.

The goalkeeper and back four can remain the same, but a place for James McArthur or Barry Bannan to help win and retain the ball in midfield should be found to help thwart the buoyant Poles and provide the platform from which Scotland can break forward.
