Tartan Dave Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Actually thought Dykes was better than Adams tonight but Adams is clearly a better footballer and should start ahead of him with Fraser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Might be something in starting Dykes next week - he looked really frustrated at his misses and he's shown at his club that he can and does come back strongly from ropey performances (although I thought he performed okay tonight, just his finishing was way off) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 16 minutes ago, AJF said: He’s a talent that needs refined but I believe Patterson improves our chances as a starter rather than O’Donnell. I am completely biased though so take with a pinch of salt. Patterson will undoubtedly have a long Scotland career in front of him, but there's no way in a million years Clarke will chuck in an untested....and he has never really been tested in any 1st team game he's played.....youngster in against the Czechs. It would be a massive risk, and probably unfair to Patterson. O'Donnell will start at right-back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but in true Scotland style we should bench him until he's 28 and break him in gently then look back and go "oh hang on, he was a player after all" Edited June 6, 2021 by red23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. It IS a good point. Up until, probably, the late 80s ,a decent Scotland team would have beaten a good Scottish club side pretty-much every time and one of the joys of watching the national team was it being better than you see domestically. Nowadays good domestic sides - and not just in Scotland - play better football than many of their national teams. This isn't even a contentious point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye except this Scotland team would absolutely ride Rangers. Apart from that you make a lot of sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t necessarily disagree, I’m simply saying I think he is a better option than O’Donnell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Id have Hendry, Cooper, Tierney, Robertson, McGinn, Gilmour, McTominay and Adams starting against Czechs.Other positions are a toss up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - Dodds agreeing with him as well Playing up front is a different job if we are only playing one up top. Dykes has to be the pick if that's the case. If we play two up front Adams is the first pick out the strikers then you are looking for a partner.

Guys from Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa would struggle against a team who are a mid-table Championship side. Rangers have what maybe two players who would stand a chance of getting a game for Scotland, if that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Adams goal was a bit of a scuff I think I would go with Dykes - Christie. Mcginn - McTominay - Armstrong Robertson -Tierney - Cooper - Hendry - O'Donnell Marshall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I suspect that Dykes will start, with probably Fraser in the side as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats on immediately after? Yet another old firm rerun. Fs! I know they only exist to promote their own product and dont have any Euro coverage, but fucking hell its embarrassing. Coverage didn't kick off until ten to five either! Second class coverage as usual from Murdoch and the boys... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 19 minutes ago, TONTROOPER said: Why? There are no more friendlies and so the next game is proper full-time serious for the first time since I was 16. A game that should have been about proving that the chosen first team was capable of doing the business has instead shown that either Clarke still has no idea what his best lineup is or that he does and he's wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
