Now that Leitch has come in and will likely fill that attacking midfield/creative role, should we be against moving King to LB/LWB if he's staying for the remainder of the season? Especially since Ray Grant is nearing a start (hopefully his first tomorrow) who can shuffle across the midfield to fill in/help out. I think he could fill that slot in a new look back 5 of: Cuddihy/Hynes; Hamilton; Howie; Dunachie and King or a four and shift Hamilton to RB.

I've stayed away for a good while but stupidly made the mistake of attending on Saturday. I think I speak for most football fans generally when I say you can stomach losing when the team has tried their heart out. That cannot be said for that absolute monstrosity of a display against Bonnyrigg. Duffyball continues in full effect - despite it not working whilst Rennie was still on the pitch, nevermind when he came off injured. Players happier to flail about and moan at the referee than get their finger out. McLean stood on sidelines hands in pockets absolutely lifeless. No desire, no fight, no ideas. Stevie Wonder could've seen that signing a bunch of players from university/youth teams was never going to work. Who is supposed to be enthused about this available money when Duffy is the one being entrusted to spend it? (I know they won't because why would the Clyde board allow themselves to be questioned by mere supporters) but SURELY questions have to be asked of what Duffy is actually contributing? The only player we've signed so far who looks halfway decent is Logan Dunachie who is going to be hamstrung by having to deal with the likes of Peter Grant & Jon Craig either side of him. Re-signing Neil Parry, Peter Grant & Jon Craig despite every single piece of evidence last season is an absolute shambles. Again, how is anyone supposed to be convinced that this apparent enhanced budget is going to be used to address the glaring issues in this squad in right way on the face of everything we've seen so far? ^ This. Duffy & McLean are only the tip of this iceberg. Thomson and the board need to go for any meaningful change to ever happen at this club. I worry that the only way change would ever be forced at Clyde is if supporters started voting with their wallets, more than just not renewing season tickets. Stop attending and allowing the board to take your money and disregard your opinions. Not something anyone wants to see as it directly impacts the club, but how else is change supposed to be forced at this stage? P.s. creative shouts like "Jurrasic Jim" provided some light entertainment amongst the absolute drech on Saturday. Forever and ever etc etc

Goodwillie is so fucking uninterested it's ridiculous. -

Cash saved, Clyde win and a bunch of enraged entitled Bairns. If Carslberg did Saturdays... -
Bully Wee v the mighty Lino machine
TheClyde1877 replied to RRFC2711's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Indeed he did, but absolutely rank fucking rotten today. I just don't see it with the boy at all. I've never rated McNiff highly to be honest and for me I don't feel he is suited to this level. -
Before I started properly supporting Clyde, a friend and I went up to Dingwall (mind we would've been possibly 15/16 at the time) on the train for the first friendly of his reign. Came away from that knowing it'd end badly. Between him and Ferguson for me, as I wasn't around for the Bombscare Brown saga.

Bully Wee v the mighty Lino machine

" - Smith is utter pish" McNiff & Petkov are much, much worse IMO. Incredibly frustrating first half from us, dominant the second. Thought Lamont's work rate in particular was brilliant and helped turn the game around but Love & Johnston contributed to that also. Think Johnstone could still be turning Kieran MacDonald inside out the now. Before the game would've bit your hand off for a point, come away slightly gutted not taking all three. Good point, onto another biggie next week! -

Peterhead vs Clyde
TheClyde1877 replied to Only one David Marsh's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Been a difficult place for us to go previously but hopefully we can go and impose ourselves with a strong performance again and bring 3 points down the road. Peterhead tend to be a much more physical side so in that aspect, do fear slightly for Johnston that he may take a clattering & feel Smith could deal with those harder tackles a bit better. Obviously DGW needs no more plaudits but I hope Smith's goal last week gives him a bit of confidence and he can kick on and bag plenty more. Changed (& welcome!!) days for the Bully!!! -

Is there any actual truth to us signing these two boys we're supposedly waiting on and if so, does anyone know what the delay is? If we don't sign another LB by deadline that's slightly worrying. Finally caught highlights of yesterday's game, looks like another solid battling performance & were unlucky not to take all 3 points. Still would like to see D.L. Smith playing firmly up top with Goodwillie, but hard to argue with Mark Lamont's work rate. Hopefully now we've played arguably the most difficult run of games we could've got, get a couple of points on the board. A wee win next Sat against QoS wouldn't go amiss either! -
McNiff by a considerable head and shoulders has been the worst player in the team since we returned for pre-season. Agree we competed decently but should've made subs a helluva lot earlier. Like Danny said post-match, these games are learning curves. As long as we aren't being embarrassed in the next few tough games we have coming up, excited to see what we get with Goodie, Rankin, Norway and Love coming back into the side.
