Lyndon Dykes misses Germany

[Allant1981]

Lyndon Dykes misses Germany

He was confirmed as missing out a couple of days ago

[SteveHFC]

Creating numerous chances but just can’t score.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Pretty woeful so far 😠

[Pretty Boy]

Weird game.

Hardly any fans, no atmosphere, Scotland clearly levels above but players not committing and playing at walking pace clearly terrified of injury.

We'll win this by 3 or 4 in the end. A glorified defence v attack training session.

Expecting Gibraltar to sneak a 1-0 win 😁

Play like this and don’t see us getting out the groups.

Would you risk getting injured in a game like this??

[J-C]

How did this team qualify, rotten so far, friendly yes but uninspiring.

[SteveHFC]

Would you risk getting injured in a game like this??

Would have rested our better players from this game to avoid any potential
Injuries.

[04Sauzee]

Exactly,it's a topping up of fitness exercise. They will just have seen Dykes stretched off at training the other day.

Thats overpriced on this evidence.

[B.H.F.C]

We just really struggle to score goals. Will cost us at the tournament.

[SteveHFC]

Absolutely rubbish.

[Aldo]

But they need minutes so they need to play to keep them fit.

Zero criticism from me. This might be players only chance to play in a tournament so don’t blame them.

[Trinity Hibee]

Liam Macleod on sportsound is brutal. Comes out with all this birthday caird pish. Gets far too excited over run of the mill stuff

[BILLYHIBS]

Only fell asleep the once

Like watching Hibs

[Trinity Hibee]

Liam Macleod is much better with the sound off, even on the radio.

😂

[PatHead]

Obviously trying to lull our group opponents into a false sense of security.

[Hibernian Verse]

Is Shankland playing?

[SteveHFC]

Play like this and don’t see us getting out the groups.

We’re winning the Euro’s.

[Pretty Boy]

Floodgates will open now. It could and should already be about 10.

[we are hibs]

Has it ever dawned on Michael Stewart that perhaps Shankland isn't actually very good at international level?

Clearly virtually hardly any of this team are even international class

This is the man who is advocating taking 4 goalies so Craig Gordon doesn’t miss out. For three football matches. Four goalkeepers.

Maybe we’re planning on playing an actual “Sweeper Keeper” ?! 🤔

[SteveHFC]

Adams will be starting against Germany.

[we are hibs]

Adams will be starting against Germany.Rightly so. Our best forward at international level.

Conway scoring for the 21s.

I'd be bringing him in for Friday to take a closer look.

[J-C]

Glad that's finished.

[Lago]

Adams will be starting against Germany.
He's the only one we've got, there is a real lack of quality in the squad.

[Bishop Hibee]

I switched off after the first half. Conway or Ross Stewart need to be called up. Monster heid Shankland has shown nothing at this level.

[Aldo]

Shankland is a very good SPL player however begs the question why have no championship teams in England not chasing a 30 goal a season striker with a year left on his contract.

Yes could still happen but I think he’s found his level.

Very clear that Dykes is leaving a big void with his style of play.

He has no pace. If he could run in behind, he’d have played at a much higher level.

The window isn’t open yet. They quite possibly are.

🤭😂😂😂- couldn’t agree more - where have all the good commentators gone - even Paul Mitchell was better and we know who he favours 🫢

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Job done. Real test of where we're at is Friday.

Aye it’s just mental that

I actually thought he had been substituted! I was surprised to hear his name mentioned towards the end of the game. When Adam’s came on, he disappeared.

That's bonkers.

I actually tend to agree with most stuff that Michael Stewart says but every so often he latches onto something crazy and will never, ever back down or change his mind, even when it is clearly ridiculous.

He’ll be good to come off the bench but cannot see Shankland starting on 14th.

4 keepers is madness. Only three required, and even that would be terrible luck if we needed to use them.

[truehibernian]

I liked Tom English’s idea of a game v an SPFL select side to be honest.

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

the whole team was poor today. not cutting edge excluding Adams of course. Shankland was a waste of a jersey today. and to boot Shankland is now classed as a 4m sticker. wtaf!

[worcesterhibby]

I'd be giving Ben Doak a run against Finland..at least see what the boy has got..we know about the others.

Reading there that he had "a little reaction" to to thr two training days after a long injury. Doesn't bode well for making the final squad. Like you I think he needs game time on Friday

[Winston Ingram]

The boy makes Gemma Collins look like a greyhound. He’s far too slow and immobile at this level

[WeeRussell]

Had to go out tonight so only seen most of first half. Highlights on now.

Really wasn’t overly fussy about result or performance tonight, especially given trying a few different personnel. Was like a training game in the first half and was always just happy to get through without any more injuries.

A convincing performance and result would have saved reading as many of the slavers over the next day from those that can’t wait to slate the national team at any opportunity (don’t have to look far) but no big deal.

Hopefully another win on Friday and then roll on Munich!

I agree to a great extent, but we do have an issue up front. If Anthony Gordon had decided to be Scottish, I would be a lot more hopeful of getting through the group, we just lack an real International quality up front. We rely on McGinn and McTominay to score the goals from midfield which is fine, but a bit one dimensional.

Not sure how Panini can justify that. 🤔

Agree that a top class striker, or some real pace and quality out wide would really help us.

However I live in hope that Adams does the business or Shankland finds goalscoring form we’ve seen from him in Scotland.

Or indeed that the Mcs keep banging them in 😎
