Cigaro Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 12 minutes ago, Fozzyonthefence said: It’s ridiculous. Gilmour too - only 11 appearances since 2019 (which I think was when he had a good game against Liverpool but doesn’t seem to have done anything since) but the media has been pushing for both to be included. Can’t see either of them playing any part so seems a bit of a waste of 2 places - surely with 3 extra squad places one of them should have gone to Griffiths who could at least come off the bench and maybe get a goal. We’re desperately short of strikers. Nisbet?! I don't think Nisbet is a great player by any stretch, but he's scored 15 goals or whatever in the SPL this season. Of course he'd be there or thereabouts. I'd have taken the risk on Griffiths as he can get you something from nowhere, but can understand why he's not there. Fleck, Forrest, Patterson are more debatable than Nisbet in all honesty, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably agree with that to be fair - Nisbet being in the squad is more of a reflection of the lack of options we have up front or at least with genuine no 9’s. He’s not exactly in form though as most of his goals were at the start of the season. Would rather have him than McBurnie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAndy Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I like the look of this squad. Resisted temptation to fill it with out of form experienced players. There's a freshness about it while also having the core of the team that got us to Euros. This is also a squad that looks beyond the Euros. Well done Clarke.

Forrest would need to show some form and fitness in the lead-up. Otherwise I'd put in Fraser, who if also not fit I'd replace with Dykes or whisper it Nisbet... Swap KT and Robbo Armstrong out for Gilmore Id go Gordon Hanley McTominay Kt Patterson Wing Back McGinn Gilmore McGregor Robertson Wing Back Chrstie Adams No Keen on taking Fraser not played for a couple of months ans James Forrest two good players but not when they haven't played for a while. The Thumb should of been taken 20 minutes to go needing a goal no better player to bring on than him how many times has he got a late winner or a goal to level for Celtic. I think we are a stronger team with him and its crazy to leave him out but have Forrest in . Edited May 20, 2021 by Stu_HMFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arfur Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Folk putting Gilmour in their match day squad??? Great prospect but come on - Gauld got more man of the match awards than Gilmour got games for Chelsea (and the games he did get where largely in the cup, against lower quality European opposition or once league position was confirmed). No problem in him and Patterson, Nesbit & Turnbull getting in the squad for experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comradejambo Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Understanding that Adams, Marshall McGinn Patterson and Stephen O Donnell didn’t travel to Portugal as self isolating due to Fleck so won’t play a part in the game tomorrow (assume not the Luxembourg game either).

Homme Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Croatia drew with Armenia tonight. I can't comment on the team they put out but not the most convincing result on paper. Croatia are a team on the decline and I feel they are there for the taking this month. Czech will be tough. I feel they are improving a lot. We really need to use home advantage in both of these matches as the England game is most probably a write off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
