Clyde go into this game with, as far as I know, a fully fit squad from which to select.

Prediction? I fancy a Clyde win myself.

Dundee to sneak it 2-1.

quite fancy a win also, against what is definitely our bogey team!!

Wilson is suspended so presumably he'll be the only change from the other night. Who knows who we'll rope onto the bench this time.

I think we can win as well, especially with McDonald being suspended for Dundee. Tight game either way in any case.

Forgot about Wilson's ban.

Valentim, if he's fit should definitely be on the bench.

He must start getting a look in, hell he might even score a few goals given the chance!

I would love to know why Hendry won't include him.

With McDonald suspended, we'll probably play a more conventional 4-4-2:



"Strikeforce" (a term I use loosely) subject to change.

Clyde 1 - 2 Dundee (Davidson, Sturm )

After Clyde's brave performance against Dundee Utd, they will run out of steam in the last 10 minutes, and none other than, Jani Sturm, yes Jani Sturm, will score a 94th minute winner .

If Rae starts Swa nkie he has to be sacked, David O'Brien MUST start this game.

Sw**kie??? he must give O'Brien a chance, surely

Agree, Rae MUST go if sw**kie plays in place of O'Brien

WTF is it with some of us Dundee fans? Honestly lads you can't really be serious with this Rae must go nonsense!
I agree it looks like Gav has lost the plot a bit this season, but to start calling for Rae's head because his choice of first team doesn't match yours is way over the top. In my opinion the manager has done a fantastic job to date, (albeit anyone would look great up against Kerno) and at a crucial time in the season, has us in a great position to challenge for promotion. Leave it to him and Davie to judge what the best side is.

You both seem to be forgetting that O'Brien has out injured for god knows how long and recently has only played about 20 (competitive) minutes against Huntly

I'll go for a 1-0 win for Dundee.

Sw**kie maybe needs a rest as he has been poor in his last few games, still better than Daquin though.

I think it's fair to say, looking at the conditions, and considering the likely team line-ups, that if Dundee score more goals than Clyde, we'll emerge the winners. As long as the goals are at the right end of the pitch, of course (take note, Worrell!).

It's likely to be a game of two halves, with the teams swapping ends at the break. I think we'll all be looking for good inter-play, with clever use of the intermediate space. Getting the playmakers to hit the target men will be one of the objectives for the sides.

Can I become a pundit now?

Given that half of your team is complete garbage, I'd agree that Rae has performed admirably to keep you near the top of the table.

I'm quite happy to have a half 'garbage' team, by your definition, if that means one that's second top of the table, and vying for promotion. Maybe you should get some more 'garbage' in your team too, eh?

What, so that you can sign it up on a pre-contract?

which half? what makes a clyde fan judge?

You made me laugh.

Well done.

I'm somewhat more concerned about the period between now and the end of the season, to be honest. Though if we happen to cherry-pick from other's 'garbage' in preparation for next season, I'll not complain.

If McDonald was not suspended our starting 11 would probably be.

Samson

Worrell
Malone
Palenik
Dixon

Robertson
McHale
McDonald
Sw**kie

Sturm
Davidson

Which do you think are garbage in our team?just curious, as I have only saw clyde 3 times this(once on tv)I couldn,t comment on how good or bad your team is.

I'm hoping McKenzie might be back from injury for this one. In which case, I'd prefer:
Samson
Worrell, McKenzie, Palenik, Malone
Daquin, Robertson, McHale, O'Brien
Zemlik
Sturm

I'd be thinking about bringing on Davidson and/or Trialist (Valois) at some point up front. If McKenzie still isn't available, then it'll have to be Dixon as left back, and Malone moving in.

i do hope alex rae gives o'brien a start. the problem i particularly have is that in o'briens' last couple of appearances he seems to have been played in a defensive role. on some early season showings albeit brief ones , he was very eager to take someone on and get to the bye line, something that has just not been happening this season. i would like to see him start in a right sided role (in place of freddie) as he seems to be able to get up and down the pitch quickly and certainly looks hungry. please don`t forget he is also playing for a contract for next season, he needs to do well

Zemlik did nothing in midweek so I would play davidson and would probably persevere with sw**kie as obrien is just back and may be better suited coming on a s sub.If McKenzie is fit he will play, with malone at left back so you could put dixon left midfield instead of sw**kie who I agree has been poor but will come good I,m sure.

dundee MUST win this one if they are going to hang onto any sort of credible claim to be contenders this season.

I think this will be a Clyde win...1-0

morning inspection planned

Uch not again.

Has it been bad up Cumbernauld way? It's been alright here, just a bit soggy.

I could get shot down here for Kernaghan-esque playing about with formations, but I'd be more tempted to put Sw*nkie on the right-hand side instead of Daquin. The problem with Davidson and Sturm together is that both are better running onto the ball. I think Zemlik's the best we've got receiving the ball with his back to the goal, and that's probably the sort of service they're going to get.

I think I'd like to see O'Brien and Malone invited to aggressively overlap down the left, and Daquin to be playing more central than a typical winger.

But who knows. We're still looking for that elusive up-front formation that willl give us steady goal-scoring. Alternatively, we could just lay it back for Robertson, in the hope that he's been watching videos of Robson's goal at Broadwood earlier this week. Long live the midfield.

Bugger.

Me train tickets...

Worst comes to the worst just make a little day of it in glasgow. If you're heading with a few mates head into town for the Edinburgh derby and spend the rest of the day on the piss.

I'm telling you, after the game was cancelled on saturday i had a brilliant day.

They're getting up early to see if they can spot any Sky cameramen.

Nah, I'm going with my dad and I can't see him being up for that!

I don't fancy hanging around Glasgow for hours on end anyway, so we might head for Firhill or Hampden (if it's cheaper, and for the experience of 500 or so fans in a 52,000-seater stadium ).

Or there's always St Mirren v Motherwell just down the road in Paisley...

Click to view attachment If Dundee don't win comfortably, "I'm a great big silly old Hector".

"East Football" what times your train because the pitch inspections planned at 10:30am and I highly doubt you will be leaving before that!?

As for Clyde, now Hendrys gone Dougie Bell will probably take charge of first team affairs and I can see a line up along the lines of:

Hutton

Bestvina
McGregor
McKeown
Higgins

M.McGowan
Bradley
MacLennan Snr
Smith

Imrie
Arbuckle

Subs: Cherrie, Valentim, D.McGowan, MacLennan Jnr, Masterton

Not too confident on this so I'll predict either a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.

You never know valentim might actually make his full first start

Match postponed is my prediction!

Jean Valois will be playing

Craig McKeown will score a dazzling own goal

Now, with Dougie Bell taking charge of this match, I can see this being a bit different.

I can see Valentim playing for a start, and also I would hope if Div McGowan is used, he is used with a bit more sense.

I would doubt McKeown will be that unprofessional, especially when I have heard there is a very good reason that he wants Clyde to stay in the division

Game will be aff. I was through that way today and it was fecking heaving doon.

8.21

But like I said, it's because I've got other stuff to do in Glasgow before going to the game.

Wrong - Game goes ahead : http://www.thedees.co.uk/news_detail.asp?ID=2231

Clyde can't even manage to get their games off properly.

dundee to win 2-0, too much of a shock to recover from last night. Just need to give it a go but the dressing room will be flat and to have craig mckeown playing for us will be wierd, im sure he will be proffesional about it though.

Why? Not a bad starting line -up. Can only think your peed off because Freddie starts instead of O'Brien?
