RossBFaeDundee Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I'll be damned if any other team at Euro 2024 has a worse group of forwards than we do. Really hoping McTominay and McGinn step up and get whatever goals we get themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroraBoy Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 There are a few options to replace Dykes imo But surely it has to be Tommy Conway, Clarke said Himself if anything happens he’ll draw from the U21 Squad ?? McBurnie is a definite No Oli Burke, stop it Nisbett, I don’t think so Ryan Fraser, obviously not as he’d have been in this squad Ross Stewart, I do think so due to lack of games/playing time imo Harvey Barnes, 100% No as he’d have been in this original squad Hardie at Plymouth, canna see it…….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha there maybe wasn't a fallout as such but I reckon there's some kind of attitude issue with him and Clarke doesn't want him near the squad Edited June 1 by Butters Scotch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 39 minutes ago, Gordopolis said: I'm not advocating calling up McBurnie, but that analogy is pretty weak. There's an obvious world of difference between the two players right now. One is/was an active EPL striker, the other is trawling around in a retirement league. The fact he scored a penalty in that game was being used as evidence he should be called up. I was pointing out an example to show that it wasn't really particularly relevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for the poster, but I inferred it as a bit of balance that McBurnie isn't the 100% disinterested useless player that he is often caricatured as, as opposed to saying he should definitely be called up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che Adams and Laurence Shankland would be in the squad of at least 10 teams in the Euros. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam91 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Dykes offered something tangible in defending set pieces, the fact he's what 6'3" and built like a brick shithouse. Our midfield will probably be a combination involving a few of the diminutive McGinn, Gilmour and McGregor we kinda needed his presence along with McTominay. The fact that Ryan Jack did it is just so Scottish. If it was the other way round it would be a shoulder shrug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The Players who weren't on the provisional squad will probably not be added to. We have Adams, Shankland, Doak and McTominay so there's really no need to replace Dykes. The u21s play on the same days as the senior play their friendlies so I doubt any players will be drafted in from the u21s. If anything, Dykes being injured makes it easier for Steve Clarke. Just means Clarke only has one player to cut. Clarke should've called up 33 players in the provisional squad in case of multiple withdrawal. What's going to happen if another 2 or 4 players get injured? Is Clarke going to call up players and tell them to cut their holiday short? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they would manage to cut holidays short for the fucking Euro’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) 1 hour ago, allyo said: Dykes bullied the old firm defenders before he moved down south, in a way that I don't remember anyone else managing. He might not have everything, but he frightens higher quality players in a way that none of the others do. I don't think i'd try to replace him like for like. If we need another striker, pick one. But don't look for Dykes Mk II. Yep. Haven't seen a striker bully old firm Defenders so well since Duncan Ferguson.

It would be more convenient if he didn't have to. Ryan Fraser would rather train with Newcastle than play for Scotland. And according to Steve Clarke a few players rejected call ups when he first got the gig. Don't assume that every player cites playing for Scotland as an honour.
