Squad will be announced middle to end of May with Gibraltar and Finland warm up games at the start of June ahead of the opener on the 14th June.

Luckies1874 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 18 minutes ago, Cruyff said: Hardly played this season, no? Back playing recently, 90 minutes in 2 of Norwich's last 3. Probably more relevant though is his performances in several qualifiers, like the Spain 2-0. Very much doubt Clark leaves him out. Think Porteous and Cooper are far more likely to be in danger from a fit Souttar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert Simnel Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 7 hours ago, hmfc_liam06 said: Porteous has been pretty good in a Scotland jersey. Absolutely no way he isn't in the squad. Agreed. He was excellent against both Spain and Ukraine - to me he's in Clarke's first XI, and there's no debate as to whether he's in the squad or not. Even with my most anti-Hibs glasses on.

BigAlim Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 I guess if we were picking six players to play the three centre half spots then Porteous and Souttar would be the two that can cover the right hand side whilst Tierney and McKenna play on the left, Hendry and Hanley could be the central header merchant and Cooper would be the one left out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Just now, JimmyCant said: I’ll probably regret asking but Why ? I don't rate him. I think he has been over hyped, from the day he made is Hibs first team debut. Someone further up said he had great games against Spain and the Ukraine. He put in one decent tackle away in Ukraine and again was over hyped to the hilt for it. He is struggling to hold down a permanent place in a mid table English championship team, that to me says alot. He is not the only player who gets over hyped though. I will get pelters for this, but I think alot of Hearts fans overhype Alex Cochrane. I don't think he is as good as many think he is, but that's my personal opinion.

Chuck Berry Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Jacob Brown is now probably out the Euros, just underwent a knee op from a training ground injury. That's him and Nisbet very very doubtful. So Dykes, Adams, Shanks and probably one other. Ryan Fraser on fire for Soton at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with on the field either. He always used to just withdraw when he didn’t feel like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the alleged "incident" over withdrawing, he's played another 4 or 5 times under Clarke, and only dropped out when he wasn't getting a game for Newcastle.

All overridden by never having let Steve Clarke down which is one of the biggies for getting picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly, he's been outstanding this season given he's had to switch positions so often not to mention his free kick ability. Is there a more reliable player in our squad? He's unbelievably unlucky there's so many good left sided defenders who are likely to be fit. Edited February 20 by feedthefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I think the following are guaranteed assuming fit. That leaves 3 spaces available. A third goalie is required. Armstrong is probably also pretty much guaranteed so I suspect one more space will go to a CB. GK Gunn Gordon or Clark RB Hickey Patterson LB Robertson Taylor CB Hendry Porteous Hanley McKenna Tierney CM McGregor Gilmour McGinn Ferguson McTominay FW Shankland Adams Christie Dykes Starting line up of: Gunn Hickey Robertson Hendry Hanley Tierney Ferguson McTominay McGregor McGinn Shankland Edited February 21 by hmfc_liam06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's another CB or forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
