Tactical shift and desperate changes
Pocognoli, known as a disciple of the three-at-the-back system, altered his formation and personnel after the score was 1-1 and then when Slovenia took a 2-1 lead. The changes were made out of desperation, with strikers and wingers thrown on in an indiscriminate bid to salvage a point.
Early signs of trouble appeared in the 13th minute when Slovenia got in behind and Adam Cerin's shot had to be blocked by Jack Hendry. Ryan Christie’s goal briefly stirred the home side, but the game soon slipped back into a slumber. Andy Robertson had to make a lung-busting effort to block a point-blank shot from Zan Vipotnik after Hendry was caught dozing, highlighting the defensive frailties.
