Scotland head to North Macedonia still searching for a goal
Scotland have one point and no goals from Sebastien Pocognoli's first two games in charge, with North Macedonia away next on Saturday.
The match is live on the BBC. The question is simple. What changes?
Pocognoli is the head coach of Scotland's men's team. He has started with a 3-4-1-2 formation, shorthand for three central defenders, four across midfield, one playmaker and two strikers. It has brought three debuts, but no breakthrough yet BBC Sport.
Goalkeeper is the loudest debate. Angus Gunn was Steve Clarke's first-choice at the summer's World Cup. He now plays for San Jose Earthquakes in the United States, where he has conceded 23 goals in 11 games.
The alternatives are Scott Bain at Falkirk, Jon McCracken at Bradford in England's League One, and Liam Kelly at Rangers. None has yet taken the shirt. For fans, this means Saturday is a straight call on trust or change.
Defence is stretched too. Jack Hendry is suspended for North Macedonia. He was sent off in the home game against Switzerland at Hampden, which left Scotland with 10 men.
Pocognoli has already shuffled his back three, a line of three central defenders. Stephen Welsh made his debut in Slovenia on Saturday on the left side of that three. Luis Binks then made his debut against Switzerland after starting in place of Welsh.
Further forward, the clamour is for Ben Gannon-Doak. He has not started either of Pocognoli's first two games. He came off the bench in both.
It is a sharp reset after the summer. Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 for their first World Cup win in 36 years since 1990, before a 1-0 defeat by Morocco put Morocco in control of Group C Reuters. More than half of Pocognoli's 27-man squad for these opening fixtures were not involved at that World Cup Scottish FA.
What makes this stand out is the speed of the test. Four Nations League matches in 11 days left little room to settle. Now the BBC has invited supporters to pick the XI themselves in an interactive piece titled 'You are the Scotland boss - what would you do?'
Pocognoli, a 39-year-old Belgian appointed on an initial two-year deal, wanted a bright future built on Clarke's foundations. In Skopje, Scotland need something simpler. A goal. A win. A sign the new era is moving.
