HMFC01 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 That's fairly impressive having a Hearts goalkeeper starting for Scotland. Another recovering from a serious injury with hopes to reclaim the Scotland #1 jersey. Henry Smith before that I believe. Jack Hamilton called up twice but never capped. Jim Cruikshank 9 caps. I might have missed some. Anyways, Scotland to win 1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Can't help but feel a real sore one is coming in 2024 for Zander. If/when he loses his Hearts spot to Craig then he's inevitably going to drop out the Scotland setup and in the months leading up to a major Championship. Tonight suggests he's the current No2 and with Gordon back he would clearly drop to 3 behind him and Gunn. Would he be included ahead of Kelly in a squad though given he will presumably play the rest of the season as a No1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 What a novel experience watching a Scotland game after already qualifying.

Dykes has been incredibly reliable for Scotland especially in away games. He is obviously behind him currently and won't be on the plane ahead of him or Adams, assuming fitness, for next summer. Whether he can force his way into the next spot is up to him, his recent form for Hearts got him this call up, the good news for us is that form will need to continue over the coming the months.

Would he be included ahead of Kelly in a squad though given he will presumably play the rest of the season as a No1? All he can do is keep giving strong performances, and cut out the silly little mistakes that he makes from time to time. He's a great shot stopper. There aren't many times that a routine shot makes it's way past him, and he is capable of making the "big" saves that you wouldn't expect every goalkeeper to reach. The ones that look good, and make the crowd react. He struggles with being a big commanding unit from crosses, and decision making is sometimes suspect when it comes to coming off his line. If he nailed that, there would be no reason to drop him, and it would be up to the others to prove they were better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would he need to do to prove he was better given his legendary status?! The problem for Zander, as I see it, is that when CG gets the gloves in one instant he will lose both his Hearts and Scotland spot as he won't be playing games. Not really making much of a point here just that it's a cruel game sometimes and Clark could be going from a career high point to a pretty soul destroying low very quickly.
