Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Russell Martin said Adams was subbed as a precaution ahead of play offs. So hopefully fine. In terms of our group opponents, Fabian Schar of Newcastle is injured for remainder of season with hamstring injury so must be a doubt for Euros. Is a starter for Swiss team.

Schar is a big loss to Switzerland if he is out. Shaqiri also injured I hear? I don’t know the full extent on what the injury front looks like for our opponents this summer? If Szoboszlai or Orban get injured then that’s a very huge blow for Hungary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar has since told Swiss media that he doesn’t think the injury is too bad, expects to play for Newcastle again this season and will be fit for the Euros. I know because he’s in my fantasy football team 😅. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadnt realised Schar had said that. Aw well. Agree about Szoboszlai, he is Hungary's stand out player.

thesaint Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 14 hours ago, GilmourFan said: Me, too. I'm not a praying man but... 😛 The match was played like a pre-season friendly, which I was delighted about! No player, including McGinn and Gilmour, broke into a sweat or put in a tackle. One weekend of hoping it to be injury free down, two/three to go. 😉 If that match was played like that it makes you wonder what the Gibraltar and Finland games are going to be like. Imagine getting injured and missing the euros a week or so before they begin. Devastated to say the least. How many subs are allowed in friendlies because it is going to be the proverbial conveyer belt of players being replaced. That being the case I can't really see any real advantage in playing them with the threat of injuries being an obvious huge disadvantage. Realise all countries will be playing warm up games as well but just makes you wonder how we will approach them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps (all in caps), Clarke will have a few players he isn't too familiar with to get an opportunity to play to see if they make the final 26. Also players like Hickey and Hanley will get some game time to increase match sharpness. Maybe we experiment with some formations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although don't see Hickey playing and a week before the tournament begins seems a bit late to be experimenting with new formations. At the very least that should have been done in the last friendlies. Anyway the games are being played but to what advantage remains to be seen.

ger intae them Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) So many walking wounded (or not even walking) that these fixtures are worthless. Ticking over only…… but you could achieve that within the selected group of 26. Edited May 6 by ger intae them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just glad McTom isn’t playing tonight. Let him heal properly rather than slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgsct Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 25 minutes ago, bigfingers said: Hickey all but out of the euros according to Thomas Frank. Frank said exactly what you would expect him to say. His exact words were his chances were 'not positive'. Which is pretty fair given he won't have played in over 6 months. He was in light training a month ago so can't be far from full training now. Quite right not to risk him in a n epl game but I'd expect to see him in the frendlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Scotlandfan Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 The drop off after Hickey and Patterson is huge. We’re going to need to give them both the biggest opportunity we can. Even if one of the two can only manage one group game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no way Clarke is going to pick him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfingers Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Think Ross Mcrorie will have to step up to the plate. Least he’s playing at a decent level in that position every week just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGuff Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Ralston and McRorie should be given a fair crack in the friendlies (not that they will teach us much), if they fail to inspire confidence then we should look to fill the RWB position with a midfielder - Armstrong standing out as the strongest candidate due to his experience, and Fraser as an outsider due to his past arseholery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
