Surely fletcher would be pretty far down the pecking order for hitting pens? he doesn't hit them at club level. Surely Goodwillie or Whittaker would have been better. Both these players regularly take pens at club level with a good record.
So far we've huffed and puffed, looked pretty dangerous from set pieces. Bannan is having a good game as is cowie.
One thing i don't get is Morrison. what does he actually offer to the team? i'd much rather commons in there. morrison isn't a winger or attacking midfielder, it's a mystery how he has become an automatic pick??

Goodwillie missed a few penalties for United. He really isn't very good at them.

Morrison is normally quite good but he was poor on saturday and tonight.
Can't believe Fletcher took the pen, in all fairness though I expected him to have the bottle to score. Should have been Whittaker taking it. I can understand not wanting to risk Goodwillie taking a pen and turning his first cap into a misery but Whitts hits good pens and it shouldn't have been a contest really.
Thought Goodwillie looked very average, I've never thought he was the most skilful player but some of his touches were shocking.

I thought it was a decent performance from a 22 year old making his full debut and playing his first game at Hampden for his country. Lots to learn and he would have been helped by having more minutes previously, particularly in the previous friendly against Denmark and perhaps getting used at the weekend where he didn't feature at all in those games.

You make a fair point but I would still expect his basic skills to be a bit better.
Not that his touch is much worse than Kenny Miller right enough.
