LiviLion Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Grant228 said: Well yes precisely, Wales having a friendly before means they can heavily rotate the squad, and generally just not take it very seriously. Whereas you'd imagine we'll have to be at full tilt for the whole game. Yep, potentially 120 minutes for Scotland and Ukraine as well while Wales can keep their main players fresh. The argument the other way would be that whoever gets through the semi will have adrenaline and momentum to spare, and the Nations League game probably won't be played with the same intensity so there's a slight chance Wales could be caught out a bit. 120 minutes and some injuries will be top of their wish list.

TheScarf Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Jordan Rhodes taking the utter piss today against Middlesbrough. I’d fancy Huddersfield to catch Bournemouth and get automatic promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth have 4 points and 2 games on Huddersfield though, would take a huge f**k up from them to chuck that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Bournemouth went and won easily today so you have to imagine they’ll finish in behind Fulham now. They’re been terrible the last month but that’s huge for them today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the quality of our backup options he has to be a consideration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Lyndon Dykes and Ryan Christie got assists today and Jacob Brown is up to 12 goals for the season with his winner against Blackburn today.

bdu98196 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Interesting how football moves, doesn't seem that long ago we had McBurnie, Shankland and Nesbit all around the squad...........before that Rhodes was always touted for a call up. Thankfully we now have decent reliable options even if they are not stars like other countries have 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pecking order seems to be Dykes, Adams, Christie, Nesbit, Brown, Stewart. Not sure who comes after those six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Nesbit's for this season prior to injury was poor. You may be right he might have been called up but he's not the level of Dykes, Adams, Christie or even Brown. As for Stewart he may well develop into a player for us, but I think much like Shankland, Brophy he's been brought in as an 'option' but will only get time if we have real lack of availability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Dave Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Matt Targett possibly getting called up for this. Was watched by scouts last night, be a good tierney replacement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM. Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Another who I had no idea qualified for us. Can he play in Tierney's position for Scotland though? I can't remember watching him play anywhere other than LB/LWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Targett would be a great addition. If Hickey continues to play on the right side for Bologna then Clarke may well use him there with Patterson out, so bringing in Targett for the left would be excellent, especially with Andy Robertson potentially playing in the CL final a few days before Ukraine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
