Self-raising Lazarus Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Dykes gets a hard Time from some on here. Scored some huge goals since he's came into the team, and I like having him as an option against niggly opponents, the type of teams we tend to struggle against. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go.. Clarke Hickey, Mckenna,Porteous,Robertson Mcgergor,Mctominay Doak Mcginn cristie Adams. Obviously the next game against Spain would probably call for a more compact formation and a more experienced 11. Is McKenna not injured ? Not Hendry as well ? FFS !

They both missed their respective clubs last matches through injury, but with the Cyprus game still 2 weeks away and no real news as to how their recovery is going I wouldn't discount either at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Dykes back and starting for QPR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Did not expect him to be back in time for these matches. Gives him a few games to get back up to speed too. Nice wee test up against Porteous today. In other news, Gilmour and Patterson both miss out although Patterson was in the matchday squad so he's edging closer. Might be too soon for him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I've seen a few articles and listened to a few media shows suggesting player form and fitness is a major issue around this camp. I think that's being over dramatic personally. I put a small chart together showing the percentage of minutes our players have played for their clubs for the last 5 games and the last 10 games and it's not great but not terrible either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunn filling one spot, I'll guess Patterson in another and Dykes in the last one. I have no clue who could come in at CB so I'll predict that we'll just go with the three and maybe a slight chance that Gilmour takes that Turnbull/Fraser spot. Either that or another striker (Shankland if fit). On 06/03/2023 at 12:25, 2426255 said: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 This group gives me the fucking fear. One we could legitimately finish 4th or 5th in if we're not careful. Still can't believe we worked our way right up to 2nd seed just to get papped into this fucking shanner group. Only Scotland would get drawn into a group with Haaland, Odegard and Kvartsheklia in the teams seeded below us. Just fucking typical innit, we never get any luck in our favour. Reckon the line-up picks itself at the minute. Gunn Hickey - Porteous - Hanley - Tierney - Robertson Ferguson - McGregor McGinn Adams - Dykes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinking luck with the draw. Northern Ireland in pot 5 have ended up with an easier looking group than us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few guys very lucky to be called up this time round but its the Clarke way to not make drastic changes at once. I have no idea what Jacob Brown has done to become an international footballer.

Paco Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Nothing to get too excited about there. Angus Gunn obviously the big news. I wondered if we’d maybe try Hayden Hackney in the squad but always seemed unlikely when he was named in the u21’s. Elliot Anderson presumably not interested at this stage either. A few players (Cooper, Hendry, Tierney, Patterson, Gilmour, Dykes) who haven’t played much football recently for one reason or another. But I don’t see anybody battering the door down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 No real surprises. I am not that surprised that Clarke has stuck by Tierney, Patterson and Gilmour, they are still up there as the best we have in those positions and I think likely to be able to get back to playing regularly and well, even if that’s at a new club if necessary. It’ll be interesting to see how much they play this time though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Cooper is the surprise inclusion and Taylor is the surprise exclusion which tells you what you need to know about the squad - tried and tested. I hope Hackney's the real deal (I've only seen him once so can't judge him) but he's not solving our issue with fit CBs or attacking options so it's not a huge deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems to be a fairly bog standard Championship player, Shankland would be my preferred third choice striker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
