Scots' campaign needs Kris of life
The Scots lost 4-0 against Norway in Oslo last month to drop to third place in Group Nine with just seven points from six games.[LNB]Consequently Burley's side face Macedonia on Saturday and Holland on Wednesday, knowing six points from the two Hampden clashes are essential if they are to claim second spot in their section and a possible November play-off spot.[LNB]Commons met the under-fire Scotland boss when the squad convened at Cameron House on Tuesday and is clear about what is required in the next two games.[LNB]"It was a short, sharp little meeting," said 25-year-old Commons.[LNB]"It's crunch time, it's the business end of the group stage and we need to do a job.[LNB]"We have to be at our peak to do that job.[LNB]"When you lose a game like we did in Norway, it is disappointing and we didn't do ourselves a lot of favours in the way we went about our business.[LNB]"We looked at why it went wrong afterwards and then you go home and it is difficult to build confidence after a game like that.[LNB]"But the lads have turned up and have worked hard in training to put things right and we have two games in which to do that.[LNB]"We have 90 minutes to secure a win against Macedonia and if we do then it's in our hands to give Holland the best that we can offer.[LNB]"Everyone is up for the Macedonia game first though and there is no doubt in my mind that we will win."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
