Tartan Army give Sebastien Pocognoli cautious welcome after first Scotland game
Scotland fans appear to have mainly emerged positive from Sebastien Pocognoli's debut as head coach.
Sebastien Pocognoli, his players and much of the media saw enough in Saturday's Nations League opener in Slovenia to remain positive after the new head coach's debut in charge despite the goalless draw.
On BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound, former internationals Callum Davidson, Willie Miller and Michael Stewart voiced some words of caution, reserving judgement on the Belgian's system as he prepares for Switzerland's visit on Tuesday.
But what of the Tartan Army? We asked for your views and here is a selection.

From turgid to thrusting - mixed start for new Scotland
It is fair to say a slight majority of respondents were enthused by what they saw at Ljubljana's Stadion Stozice, mainly by the second-half display...
Craig: First Scotland game in years where I haven't had palpitations. I loved the energy in second half. We may not have scored but the new formation and attacking focus was excellent. Let's build from here.
George: First half, bit worrying. Second half, different class. Positive. Quality. Solid in defence (keeper could've been sat on a deckchair). Finishing needs a wee polish but there are positive signs there too. Fingers crossed after a positive start under the new boss.
Rosh: It was practically two different performances in one game. First half, we were very poor and struggled to string two passes together. However, the second half was like a totally different Scotland team. Slovenia could barely get out of their own half. Overall pleased with the performance in the second half but taking our opportunities continues to be our Achilles heel.
Derek: Don't want to disparage Steve Clarke but would rather lose playing like that than what Stevie was serving up. Football with the fear of losing is not what the fans like. But, having said that, I have to admit it was great getting to the World Cup.
Stuart: This Scotland team has to be built around [Billy] Gilmour and [Lewis] Ferguson. [Robbie] Ure looks good and deserves a run of matches to prove it. Back three a bit shaky but a new system of positive play will take time to adapt to. Overall, a positive display.
Archie: Disappointing not to get off the mark with a win. But sufficiently positive for our first game after five days with our new manager.
Lindsey: Feeling positive. I think we're moving in the right direction. Gilmour was outstanding and I think he inspired others around him. After a nervy (same old) start, the team began to build some self-belief and hopefully that can be continued at Hampden on Tuesday night.
Shuggie: Massive difference between the halves. We seemed half asleep, dithering through the first half but all over them like a rash in the second. Promising but really disappointing not to win. Gilmour was superb.
Mark: Poor first half but this is a team starting to adapt to a new manager and system. Second half was far better, so encouraged about how things will progress. Given time, I think this manager will get things right.
Simon: A lot to like in that second half. Chances made - taking them is the challenge and that isn't a new problem. Midfield used the ball well in possession and were competitive on winning the ball back.
Colin: Nice to see the new manager changing things around as the squad needed freshening up. Our defence has lacked pace and relied on too many players out of form. Picking players that are actually playing weekly will help. New attacking options were needed, so hopefully these new players will step up. Let's give them and the manager a chance.
Mark: Signs are positive but we still lack the clear and present danger of a striker who can finish at the first attempt. Not sure any of the new starts will be the answer to our lack of goals.
'Same old' with 'struggle' to score goals
There are, though, a few dissenting voices who fear Scotland's old failings remain...
Thomas: Similar issues to the Clarke era - our finishing let us down. Slovenia were there for the taking and we couldn't get it over the line.
Brian: Another poor performance. New guys in who did reasonable, older heads not all did reasonable. Big worry for Tuesday night. Hopefully we can improve.
Jim: Different manager, same style of play and tactics, disappointing overall. Against a very poor Slovenian side, we struggled to make any clear scoring opportunities. If [Ben] Gannon-Doak had played down the right and [Josh] McPake down the left from the start, I think we would have won comfortably. I will look for a significant improvement over the four matches and see if there is any grounds for optimism or are we set for another few years of occasional good results.
Alexander: Very slow start. [Scott] McKenna better left on bench as his confidence is low at present. [Stephen] Welsh improved as game progressed but he still struggled at times. Ure unfortunate, with [Oli] McBurnie trying his hardest. Encouraging signs but more urgency required in getting the ball forward to the strikers. Gannon-Doak provided energy when he came on.
Allan: Still feel players are too negative and slow moving the ball. More ambition moving forward was the way goals were scored by the great players.
Gordon: Same old, same old. Dreadful first half followed by a much better second half. But we don't have a striker worth the name. [Che] Adams and [Lyndon] Dykes are done but bringing back a tried and failed striker in McBurnie is never going to be the answer. [Kieron] Bowie might be, in time, but he missed a sitter. And Gannon-Doak needs to be on from the start.
David: Not even close to being good enough.
