Clyde v Stirling Albion


Recommended Posts

This Saturday the Albion make the short jorney to Broadwood to face Clyde.

Given the recent match against East Fife when we got a well earned draw, the question is can we get something against Clyde away from home.

If we play like we did in the 2nd half against East Fife then I am confident we will get at least a point against a Clyde side who lets face it have not exactly set the heather on fire despite predictions before the season that they were hot favourites to go up this season.

If we can keep it tight at the back and not make any more stupid defensive mistakes like against East Fife, then I think a share of the points is quite posible on Saturday.

We must play with the same drive we showed at East Fife and with a bit of luck in front of goals we might just pull a surprise here and get all 3 points but I will be quite happy with anything from this game.

The team I suspect will be along the usual lines but Willie Robertson is suspened after his sending off at East Fife.

Prediction Clyde 1 Albion 1

Paul shields trialist on sat for the Albion my workmate tells me.....

Used to play with Paul when he was a teenager at Milton Green so he must be about 35 now. Always looked a handy player but never seemed to be at a club long enough, where has he been playing since leaving Livi?? Juniors??

Assuming Bolo is back available I wonder what he will do with the defence? Back to a back four with 2 of Andrews, Bolo, Marko and Smith dropped or a back three with just one of them dropped? And who would make way?

Suppose it isnt a bad thing having a selection headache when most of the season our team has pretty much picked itself.

Cue a host of posts extolling the virtues of our stadium, situated as it is at the heart of a thriving community awash with bars and cafes. Roker Rover will also be impressed by the integrated transport system ensuring a speedy journey both to and from the game.

I have been to the ground before just not for a match so I know what to expect and I am fully up to speed with the continental cafe culture of Cumbernauld. Will I need a cravat to gain admission?

This is a game we need to win and should win. Can see him going with a back three and maybe Bolo having to wait to come back in as he was unavailable last week. 1 nil Clyde and Big Marv to score again with a header from a corner :)

Experience this season has shown that we are likely to concede in any match and less than likely to score so your confident assertion of a result may be accurate. However the league is filled with 10 mediocre sides all of whom on their day are capable of beating any other. As for your opening statement, both teams need to win and, with reason both will feel that they should.

The first game this season, Clyde's mediocrity was only surpassed by ours and it was a shock to the system that either lot managed to score. Given both teams' display that day, only a penalty or an own goal could have decided it. It would not be a surprise to see another penalty or own goal winner. Who would get it will be in the lap of the gods.
