Harry Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 On Talksport just now we had both Chris Iwelumo and Darragh McAnthony saying that Tommy Conway is the most obvious replacement. The only thing that might prevent his call up is if Clarke wants a more physical presence to replace Dykes, in which case Nisbet might be more likely. But I’d say Tommy is now the favourite…..

Yeah, I think safe is a fair way to describe him. Probably won't let you down defensively but not gonna add too much going forward. Maybe they will be happy to use their quality on the opposite side for that and play safer on the right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_bristol Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Scotland will spend most of the tournament defending (that’s not a dig, just reality), they’re better off with someone solid at the back but comparatively weak going forward.

Same for Watkins, struggled for England tonight in same role Scotland were only two over in the provisional squad and already openly talked about releasing one of the four keepers chosen. So they're naturally down to the 26 man squad now Thing with TC there were already 4 others ahead of him that assumedly he has to displace?
