Any idea if he’s done enough to get a place? Think their main striker is still injured I believe?

Depends on who one thinks the main striker is....

Not over endowed with goal scoring aces, but Andrew Nabbout seems to have done enough last night to cement a place in the final 23 according to most pundits....I saw him as the main 'rival' to Jamie.

Tomi Juric, whom I think you refer to, is under an injury cloud but the coach said he expects to him to be fit and that he has improved significantly and trained for the last two days.

He also said that the reason he called MacLaren up was because he was worried at the time that Juric might not be fit.

Wasn't on long, but general media view now is that Jamie is very likely to be cut...….which is a change from the hue and cry of a couple of weeks ago when he wasn't selected.

Guess the 4-0 win has calmed a few nerves/ lulled then into a false sense of security.

For both the 3rd and 4th goals, he got into some good space. That alone won't obviously earn his place in the squad, he'd probably need to at least score in their next friendly.

Well done Jamie now come and join Hibs, it will help you stay in the Aussie team.

[B.H.F.C]

Well done Jamie now come and join Hibs, it will help you stay in the Aussie team.

Probably makes it more difficult for us to get him unfortunately. Either adds a few quid to the transfer value or his current team will want another look at him.

[Forza Fred]

Brilliant, delighted for him

Hey, Leggetto......does that mean you will all be supporting Australia in the World Cup?

[Forza Fred]

Well done Jamie now come and join Hibs, it will help you stay in the Aussie team.

Don’t think that was on the cards, whether he made the WC or not to be honest.......

[David_D]

Well done Jamie. Hope you bang in the goals. Thanks for the goals if you don’t get to come back.

[DarlingtonHibee]
