Bobby14 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Does he deserve a scotland call up? Oliver McBurnie, Matt Philips, Ryan Christie and Jason Cummins are the 4 selected, but Brophy has been playing well and scoring goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigie11 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Not sure I’d swap the wolf for any of those 4. Phillips is pish & Cummings is a proven championship player...unfortunately it’s the Scottish championship he’s proven in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Not until he signs for one of the old firm and returns from a 4 month injury to play 20 minutes in an old firm game. That's how you make a McLeish squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgey1989 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 That Scotland squad selection just goes to show that no matter who the manager is, no risks will be taken and they'll pick the same old faces. On form Boyd and Brophy should be in there especially over someone like Cummings who's hardly kicked a ball for NF and only makes appearances off the bench af Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ycfc1922 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I hope not. Keep him fresh for us. Couldn’t care less about Scotland. Enjoy the summer instead of p!ssing around South America or wherever the wee tour is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 He wont play for Scotland while he plays for Killie, however good he gets. So long as we get the benefit out of him for a while I will be happy. His willingness to shoot hard and on target from just about anywhere is almost Coulibaly-esq and long may it continue... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few new faces in the squad this time to be fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 If he keeps doing what he’s doing then his chance at international level will come. Sadly the spotlight is always on the likes of Cummings at Rangers and Brophy will have to do even more to get noticed. Hes getting more and more regular first team football. I think I’m correct in saying he’s scored more goals for us this season than he did in his whole time at Accies. There’s been dramatic improvement in him and I’m sure he’ll be focused on continuing that rather than worrying about the national team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwai Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Sometimes I like to remind myself that I know hee-haw about football management, even after years of playing FM on the computer. At the start of the season I was sure Boyd was done, but was happy that we had a big strong carthorse in Erwin who would bully defences while Brophy would do the running and the fancy set up play. Boyd is reborn and by rights should be in the Scotland squad. Erwin has finesse, close control, weights his passes beautifully and sets up crucial goals. Brophy to be fair does plenty of running but is a powerhouse with a thunderous shot. Knowing that I know nothing kinda takes the pressure off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I will give you that they need to rest because of the backlog of fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't have even been looked at. His time will come if he keeps developing. He's a better player than Coulibaly by a long way to me. He'll msybe not be seen as being as entertaining but he offers the team around him so much more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of a right footed Leigh Griffiths, hits the ball superbly - in fact he's much better with his left than Griffiths is with his right. His balance as he hits his goal on Saturday was very reminiscent of Griffiths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he has, at Tynecastle, after he scored the opener, the camera turns to McLeish sitting in the stand, who can clearly be seen to mouth Brophy to the guy sitting next to him....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think getting a call up would have been a massive confidence boost for the player and the squad as a whole and could only have helped us during the run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killieblues Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 This is sounding worse than Celtic's paranoia chaps. Our Scottish players aren't of international quality. Boydie about 5 years ago perhaps. Yes he is banging them in but he struggles to do a full game at the moment and, not only will he be too old at the Euros (if we get there), he would struggle against better quality defenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not paranoid, a don’t think boyd should get in at 34, but when you look at the competition, I think there’s a case for Eamon Brophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
