  1. We were 4 points behind at the end of January and now find ourselves 5 points behind despite winning 3 out of the last 4 games. We will probably need to pick up around 12-15 points from the last quarter which seems a tall order. As much as Elgin are second bottom just now would think Bonnyrigg are the ones to catch too. Elgin are at home against Bonnyrigg on Saturday so something has to give there. Our next 3 games should decided it Forfar, Bonnyrigg then Stranraer. We definitely need to win the last two.
  2. One of my favourite Clyde games, that season was amazing. Ridiculous result yesterday should do wonders for their confidence. Have to follow it up with a win against Elgin next Sat though. We've just broke our long over due away winless run so hopefully can put the long run without winning two league games in a row to bed too.
  3. Haven't heard from the board for ages and when you do it is to criticise the fans I'm sure it will do wonders for our Crownpoint bid as well.
  4. What I can't understand is Duffys change in type of signings. When he came last season almost all the players he brought in Salkeld, Doherty, Hynes had plenty of experience and the physical build to cope with league 1 or 2. Fast forward to the summer and we've signed almost a full squad of young lads with barely any experience. We've been told the budget is there for a promotion push but it feels like we've been transported back to the early 2010s when Duffy was last in charge. At least back then most of the signings still had some experience and there was an understanding we were paying off debt and the budget would increase after that. Gordon Thompson might make a good director but is clearly ill suited to being chairman. I can't think of one positive decision he has made. The only glimmer of hope is CrownPoint and the potential investment but would have no confidence in either being a success under Thompson's leadership. We've been on the same path as East Stirlingshire for a number of years now and with each passing bad decision at board level or embrassing result on the field it becomes more difficult to see us changing course.
  5. A bit worried that this arrangement sounds similar to the Greyhound Association taking over Shawfield which ultimately left to Clyde being kicked out. The foundation and the club might be running in step just now but is there not a danger that as time and personnel change that we end up in a similar scenario as Shawfield?
  6. I've got one on order and arriving Monday. Can let you know then what it like. Agree with the other poster thought the sizing guide looked big for each size.
  7. Baffled by some of these decisions. I would have at least offered terms to Mullen, Roberts and Salkeld albeit highly unlikely the later two would have signed. Grant and McLean can't play together even in league 2 their lack of pace will be a big issue. Can't believe we've offered terms to Cameron and Lyon as well.
  8. Really enjoying Andor too. It is slow paced but the characters are so well written and the performances are largely excellent that you barely notice. It is also doing an excellent job of showing the Empire as the truly evil organisation that its meant to be.
  9. Allan and Sula on the bench with Lyon and Cameron starting. Clearly not going to see any changes with Moore in charge.
  10. Both Cumbernauld and Greenfaulds train stations are a pain in the arse to get to from most parts of Cumbernauld. Greenfaulds has no public transport and for most areas you need to get a bus up to the Town Centre then walk to Cumbernauld Station. I've just drove through, there is plenty of parking, but have made less games this season due to the move.
  11. Poor performance from us in comparison to the other league games. Montrose were on top from the start of the game. We struggled to string a couple of passes together and Montrose closed us down very quickly. We had a shot straight at the keeper which was only chance in the first half. Montrose scored when McAllister got a free header in the box. We got ourselves back in the game when Gomis broke forward with the ball from a Montrose corner. He played it through to Allan who had a free shot on goal after the Montrose defender fell on his arse. Allan hit it low into the corner giving the keeper no chance We then shot ourselves in the foot with Waddel getting a free header from a corner to score a few mins after the equaliser. Not many chances after that for either side. We had a corner that everyone missed that got cleared off the line and the ball fell to Grant a few yards out right at the end but he volleyed it over the bar. Thought Gomis, Lyon and McLean played well for us. The forwards had little service and couldn't hold it up, far too many high balls which were easy for Montrose. Parry's distribution was awful, Peter Grant had a poor game and Hendji was all over the place postionally. The subs we made were a bit bizarre with Lyon ending up at left back for 10/15 mins and Sula at right. Rodden then came on to play left back and Lyon moved back to right and Sula put up front. Despite not playing great we were still in it right to the end. We are having no luck with left back/wing back that's 5 different players we've tried there. Hopefully we can get some of the injured players back for next week.
  12. That was so frustrating. Two up and coasting then concede two poor goals in the space of a minute. Second half miss a penalty and get a player sent off [emoji2961] Encouraging to see us great so many chances and we are much better to watch than last seasons team. We are really weak at full back though.
  13. That's a fantastic result! Well done to Lennon and the team. Can't remember the last time we won so convincingly away from home. Hopefully a sign of things to come [emoji106]
  14. Cumbernauld fans that I've spoken to, a couple have chucked it, another few will still go every week and the majority are in the middle and will still try and go as often as they can. We need to get a new permanent ground in Glasgow sorted really quickly as I can't see us picking up many if any new fans while at Hamilton to replace any that do stop going.
  15. We were a complete shambles at the start of last season but Lennon drilled the team into a hard to beat side. Hopefully he can do similar with this side. However we do look extremely weak at full back and a midfield paring of Grant and Gomis won't work. Don't think Splaine has signed anywhere else as a him and Grant in midfield would work well.
