Matchday 4

Scotland U21 65 - 84 Serbia U21 (84427) - LOSS

A defeat that was all but expected, and we did not help ourselves by making a prediction of RNG tactic for the opponent who elected to play an outside isolation instead.

We decided to try and fight through their 3-2 zone going with the low post tactic. The first half was a very tight affair but the quality of Serbia came through in the second half as they ran away with it in the end. It is clear we needed a correct double GDP prediction so I don't hate the try despite it not working out.

George Aitken was probably our best performer in terms of effectiveness but once again young Louis Adam put up a good stat line.

Just incase anyone missed it, we are sitting in 4th place.

Matchday 5

Slovakia U21 77 - 97 Scotland U21 (84430) - WIN

Finally we get the marquee victory that we have been close to for a few seasons.

We went for a bold double GDP prediction of fast outside. The opponent went for fast inside so likely a negligible benefit to us. Some of our key players have hit form at the right time, exemplified by none other than Wadsworther who put in a strong performance at SG.

Our bench were ruthless when called upon, Barker McKenzie with a legendary 6 blocks off the bench has written himself into scottish folklore with such a performance.

Anyone who still chooses to underestimate us does so at their own peril. Please I ask all trainers to keep their guys in strong (8) or higher game shape as we make a final push in the final 2 matches.
