Maybe. But you could argue that an away tie in Norway or Serbia should we get there might be more winnable without many fans than normal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has started the last 2 competitive fixtures under Clarke. He may not start this time round, but to say he will be nowhere near the team is silly.

He only gets called up so the good midfielders have someone to take the piss out of in training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is the type of player that will stand out and grab headlines like McGinn, for example, but he will absolutely do the job that is asked of him in that system and is very reliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know This again is our best chance, and this time at a world cup Unless folk think we're gonna win any groups Plus with getting'promoted' Fridays a must win Mcburnie, not fit to start, ok, but we'll be the ones retaining his services so we can bring him on, even for last 10 if we so wish Weak all round on this Sends all the wrong messages 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, are you aware of what winning the Nations League group and subsequent play-offs does for us? The other thing that's overlooked is that if we can win this group, and it's definitely winnable for us, then we'll be promoted to League A for the next time, which will basically guarantee us a play-off just for turning up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Paige-Black Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Sorry but that's complete BS from McBurnie. If you have a cut on your foot that's healed up well enough in 2 weeks to play half a game and you have 50% more healing time for the Czech game of course of course he'd be absolutely fine. From a man who pleaded 'not-guilty' to drink driving despite being 50% over the limit. I also don't believe for a second he wanted to go but Steve Clarke said no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time Steve Clarke, Chris Wilder and Oli McBurnie are all saying the same thing, I'm pretty sure that's the real story. Folk are just seeing what they want to see at this point. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Genuine question. What's has Dykes actually done to merit a Scotland call up.I was checking his previous stats, not brilliant in a poor league, no player of the month awards, no team of the year awards. He not a teenager, so is it just because he moved to QPR?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He not a teenager, so is it just because he moved to QPR??Would imagine so but won’t stop a lot of people labelling him the next big thing.Would imagine it’s a your not an Aussie anymore type cap.I get the feeling and have seen next to nothing of him he will be an all or nothing type cap.He will be surprisingly very good and look comfortable or he will be a hopeless diddy hugely out of his depth . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
