Shinnie should be in the squad, but it shouldn't be to "please the locals", it should be because he deserves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastiebeastie Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 McGinns performance of the bench in Trnava warrants a squad place. Certainly ahead of Bannan MacArthur and Fletcher in terms of what he offered that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyt Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Agree came on and did more as did Griffis in 10 min , I think Strachan keeps him in squad to get more experience and train with better players as Hibs are playing in a poorer league (just) and he has great potential ( like so many others at his age).

Once Hibs are back in the SPL, if he performs well, then he may be worth a place. To be fair though - McLean and Shinnie have performed well at a higher level this season and aren't in the frame. therefore, seems strange that McGinn is IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyshaker Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 A bit daft that in my opinion, if we assume the squad will be the same as the last one: - the Championship finishes on May 7th - 13 players will go 5 weeks without a game - Hibs finish on May 6th - add John McGinn to that list. - Bundesliga, Scottish Premiership and English Premier League finish on May 20th/21st - 8 players will have 3 weeks with no game. - Celtic finish May 27th with the Cup Final - 6 players. So, there's only really going to be 6 players who are relatively match fit. Surely there's a case for playing on June 3rd/4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be quite important in terms of how the players look after their fitness, diet and alcohol intake after a long season. You'd guess the England players in particular will be getting pished after the EPL finishes as they'll expect to stroll the game at Hampden. Playing English Championship players doesn't seem like a great idea unless they're in the playoffs. There's not much choice with the central defence, with 2 out of Martin, Mulgrew (if fit), Berra and Hanley. English Championship players in the playoffs playing to the end of May likely to include Fletcher, Rhodes, Bannan, Cairney and Chris Martin, though if they go up they'll also be getting pished for a week.
