accies1874 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 More often than not, I'd be fine with Adams or even Shankland coming in - and Adams might have started all three games anyway - but Dykes is the guy who you'd want defending from the front against Germany. If Clarke's true to his word then Conway will probably be the replacement called up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of many alternatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 There seems to be chat Dykes was walking around ok after it so hopefully the stretcher was a precaution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going with just two forwards + an uncapped teenage winger who hasn't played for 6 months. If it's serious enough to keep him out then we'll call up Conway or Nisbet or at a stretch, Ryan Hardie or Ross Stewart. All of those would be ahead of Simon Murray! 2 minutes ago, Tony Wonder said: There seems to be chat Dykes was walking around ok after it so hopefully the stretcher was a precaution. He's certainly gone for an xray whether it was on a stretcher or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is a better all around player IMO and been playing at a lot higher level over the years, it's just a shame his work ethic isn't backed up by goals though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, he’s a good player, just been a bit off form recently and can’t play the hold up role aswell as Dykes or Adams Maybe not worded correctly wrt Dykes, doesn’t barge into as many people and worry them is what I’m getting at I much prefer technical football and would play Adam’s ahead of Dykes most games Our forward options are limited but I honestly think Shankland currently is the best of the 3, lucky for you guys I don’t pick the team Edited May 31 by MarkoP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streets of Raith Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 That's the thing, his touch and hold play is the best of the three. He just does it in a technical way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 This Scotland squad is what 6-4-0 was made for anyway. McGinn and McTominay will score plenty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLichtie86 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Will be shite if Dykes is out injured. But biggest problem is who do we replace him with? Nisbett just back from 4 months out. Stewart played 4 games this season due to injuries. Add to that Doak has not played in 6 months and is a wnger. Hardie and Conway have never been tried at Full International level as Clarke is very reluctant to call new players up and test them. The recent game against Northern Ireland was a chance to do just that but once again it was the same players. Only player really left is McBurnie and thats worrying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
