RobbieD Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Brophy is a massive no from me. No point in calling up players who aren't better who you currently have. He's nowhere near as good as Dykes, Adams or Nisbet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he's not as good as Dykes or Adams, nowhere at that standard but with the form him and Nisbet are in just now I'd argue Brophy is performing better than him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Seeing as he is now a StMirren player and the done thing is to tout your own players in this section, I wonder if Brophy has a chance of a call up? Been superb for us this season, looks back to his old self and is adding goals to his game. Scored a screamer today. I didn't agree at the time when Clarke called him up initially, he probably still isn't international class but with Clarke having managed him I wonder if he is in his thoughts.He is a poor footballer and his decision making is woeful, but he's an absolute pest to play against and can make even the best of defenders uncomfortable. He's no worse than the English League 1 guys of a similar age being touted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 With Dykes out for Moldova there is a place for another striker in the next squad.Brophy is as good a shout as anyone to get it. Clarke obviously knows him well and he’s in form and scoring in the top flight. Wouldn’t surprise me if he got the nod. Other options I guess are Ross Stewart, Calum Paterson, McBurnie, and em… Griffiths? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brophy As far as aware only man to be given 1 cap and subbed off at half time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I’m fairly sure Brophy played at least part of the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Adams or Nisbet get injured, either of them (or both) will play and Christie or Fraser will be the back up. Clarke isn’t likely to call up another striker as a back up for one game against the group minnows. His past history shows it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so tough as Kevin Nisbet is currently out of form at Hibs, Lyndon Dykes is suspended for Moldova and currently Che Adams is injured for Southampton. Just have to wait and see with this. I could see it going either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes a ridiculous shot now and again but is capable of producing something out of nothing and as you say, is an absolute pest to play against. A big performance and a goal from him against Rangers next week might give Clarke something to think about. Again not saying he should start ect but as an option in the squad he might have a sniff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He done well for Clarke at Killie and amazingly is only 25. I thought he was a bit older than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke isn’t likely to call up another striker as a back up for one game against the group minnows. His past history shows it.I’d be surprised if we went to Moldova with only Adams and Nisbett available as recognised strikers. Fraser and Christie are a lot of things, but neither is a striker. A third option makes perfect sense and there’s no downside to taking one, even if they don’t feature. We will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
