Make that 11-0 with 72 on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Lost twelve-nil. Not sure I would be keen to scrap the team altogether, but we definitely need to start again from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolfo Rios Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Going by recent team sheets we have struggled to fill a team. Many of those starting are 16/17 with unfit 1st players. Think it’s time to refresh the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We are ideally positioned more or less equidistant from Scotland's two biggest cities and slap bang in the middle of the Central Belt. You would think we could attract some decent young talent. Hopefully Danny Lennon will sort it out like he has the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanMck Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I feel bad for a few of the players in the 20s. The likes of Sweeney must wonder wtf he’s doing there. Also feel for Mcnally too obviously as he’s shown he’s a good coach. It seems a bit like a boys club set up not being able to field a full team and having just 1 sub etc. Bit of a shambles !

Lets be honest here, there is absolutely no promotion of the youth set up locally that would encourage boys to join up. Added to the proximity of the OF and we are lucky to be able to field any team at all. I also suspect the fact that we were meant to be leaving town might well have also impacted this since parents were unlikely to put their kids in a program that might not be there much longer. Until an actual decision is made and we either move or agree to stay in Cumbernauld, i'm not sure the program will grow much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only one David Marsh Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Kipre was injured playing for the under 20s! I thought it was linked to the college course unless that's changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most other clubs at this level, Clyde have swapped their pro youth for community teams which are thriving in Cumbernauld and the Southside. The Under 20s team is separate from these teams and by the time you reach 18, 19 then it's rarely going to be the parents choice of who you play for. By that age, if you are any good you've been snapped up by a team higher up the pyramid. If you haven't been signed up then you play for teams like Clyde. When you don't pay wages then the standard of player you attract to the Under 20s team is directly correlated to the level the First Team plays at. Anyone who is good enough to have options just goes to the team highest up the leagues that offers them a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcuk Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Maybe the under 20 is tied into club licences or something, as it's completely pointless us having this team to lose 12 -0 is ludicrous [emoji23] to be honest can't really get to worked up about the results of under 20 team unless you have a structure below it then there is no progressing through the ranks and we don't have the finances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfield shed boy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Maybe the 20s could be doing with a couple of fringe first team players to help them if and when fit... Wright, breslin n so on if allowed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawfield shed boy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Not in the next few weeks with a run of midweek games! True OODHTo be fair i did say couple of times last season we should scrap u20s. Weve had one or two who have played the odd game within last 5yr (Traynor,Millar & maybe one or two others max) Hardly worthwhile in costs and expenses to run this team,Would scrap full youth teams but would imagine club would get sone funding from SFA....Anyway. Stirling on sat far more important. Hoping we take a big crowd through at a great venue for atmosphere and win this we have a huge chance of getting 4th...Finally Peaso will be getting a clap at FT and hope others join in for what he and JP done to save us, He deserves it more than most[emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Perhaps we should play our u20s in the Premier league. I'm sure they won't mind as it'll be for the good of Scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was surprised to be told today that Willie Torrance is coaching at Clyde. Cracking big guy. When Dumbarton folded their youth set-up I believe he went to coach at Motherwell F.C.
