Gary Caldwell hits out at media for negativity over Scotland's World Cup performances We weren't good enough again on the night - the final pass, putting the ball in the net, just creating something ... we didn't have it again and we're bitterly disappointed that we haven't managed to win the game. We said on Saturday that Serbia were a good team and maybe you guys chose to jump on a bandwagon and criticise. Serbia skelped Wales 6-1 and maybe that shows what a good team they are and maybe what a good point we got against them. I think the negativity which surround this group - whatever it is, whatever agenda people may have against the manager or the players - it has to change. We need everyone - and that's the whole country - to get behind this team because it's difficult to qualify. We need the positivity to come back. When asked if he believed that there was a witch hunt against the manager, Caldwell was more equivocal. "I don't know - you'd have to tell me that," he said. People questioned a lot of things at the weekend but Serbia are a good team and we played OK. As a group we'll all stand up and be counted. We know, at times in the last two games, the quality hasn't always been there and, as players, we'll take responsibility for that. Everyone here is honest but we need positivity. This is the best crowd in the world and tonight was difficult - we need them behind us. Who's got a problem with the manager? We haven't - we support him. He works hard, he shows us videos and gives us tactics, which we work hard on, and we have a game plan which we try to execute. At times we, as players, haven't been good enough and we'll admit that. That's down to us - it's nothing to do with the manager. I think the media and what they write affects public opinion. You have to take responsibility for that. I don't think his tactics are negatives. Of course, the crowd's anger was caused by the failure to register a victory in either of the two home games. The growing feeling is that qualification is already a lost cause but Caldwell is having none of it. "There are 24 points left to play for and we're only two points off the top of the group," he said. It's a bad start, we wanted better and we tried for better but we didn't get it and we need to roll on. The next game is important. We go to Wales and I believe we can win there - we beat them last year in the Carling Nations Cup - so we'll try and be positive and give it everything we've got. Caldwell, understandably, refused to be drawn on whether or not Levein should still be in charge by then. "I don't even think you should be asking that question, to be honest," he said. If you change the manager, nothing else is going to change. We're going in the right direction but we need everyone pulling in the same direction and at this moment in time there are too many people pulling in different ways and trying to cause disruption. The whole country has to be positive. Craig Levein's unwanted record Tuesday night's 1-1 draw not only torpeded Scotland's hopes of reaching the finals of a major tournament for the first time in 16 years, it also served to prove that Craig Levein has the worst winning record of every manager who has been in charge of the national team for six games or more. His only competitive successes have come against Liechtenstein (twice, including Stephen McManus" 97th-minute winner at Hampden) and at home to Lithuania.
