36-0 Maroon Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Jamieson Thomson TOB Little Hamilton Stewart Gold Murphy Whatley Linn Mckenna Thats the team I would play next week, Miko swanks and either one of Doris Spence or Donnelly waiting in the wings, in my opinion 4-5-1 is the way to go with a tight defence and a packed engergised midfield, every player in that starting lineup gives 110% and plenty of energy, it’s McKenna’s turn now as he doesn’t work as a winger and after all it was his goals with Wallace last year that won us the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate I would hate to think anybody wouldn’t give 110% it’s maybe that some are not championship level or good enough to play in this team going forward that are definitely going places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Is it not also about creating chances for the strikers. Are we getting enough numbers in and around the box. Whatever they are working on in training isn't quite paying off yet, come the all important match day. If McKenna was next in line for a go up top (personally think this a bad idea) who would be the main player who'd likely be just behind. Strikers who aren't scoring have less confidence, constant tinkering could lead to less confidence in their ability, come that vital chance. Would say that in this league we certainly need to be more clinical at taking what chances are being presented as they are few and far between compared to seasons gone by. With our lack of goals and poor results of late, I feel this game against Morton has become a crucial game that we need to take something from and propel us forward in to the second quarter of the season. We, as fans, need to stay positive, have faith that all will come good and believe we can finish eighth or higher at the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilymckirdy Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I am a Clyde supporter & was up to see the game yesterday. I was interested to read all the comments re lack of goals from your strikers. I know you’re on a bad run after a great start to the season but based on yesterday’s game I don’t see what the strikers are meant to do when every ball up to them is a high aimless ball from the goalie or captain no. 5 . There was no build up play or chances created for them. This must be the manager’s preferred style of play but it must be hard being a striker when that’s the service they get. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite true but it’s definitely not our manager’s preferred style of play. We’re always a much better team when we get the ball down & play but we’re lacking in any sort of creativity just now and resorting to hoofball which never works for us and is thoroughly depressing. Attacking wise from last season we have lost mccord, denholm and wallace without replacing them and swankie has been out with injury. As i mentioned in a previous post its no surprise we’re creating very few chances & when we do not taking them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes also people are not only complaining about strikers Wingers, strikers and creative players in general We literally only have Bobby Linn People are also moaning because instead of addressing this we used our loans and signed 3 central midfielders, despite already being loaded in that position 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a level up now, times have changed and time you accepted that. Our midfield can't get away with what they did last season. Yes our strikers have a poor record at the moment but could that be due to Campbell not knowing his starting xl and constant chopping and changing no ones settling. Strikers need a run at it regardless who it is non of our three have really had that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes well I clearly have accepted that so no idea what we're on about Doris, Spence and Donnelly have struggled scoring in League 1 too by the way We are weaker than last season as a first 11 after losing Wallace, he didn't only score but created so many chances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not only the midfielders job to create chances I don't see any of the front 3 being up to doing it Getting to the point where I would put McKenna upfront, atleast he would run about relentlessly for 90 minutes, put pressure on the defenders and take us up the park a bit more with Gold out on the right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old school tactics like in my day you play it from the back on the ground which to get to the strikers needs to go through the motions first. I'd give McKenna a punt, not much to lose, he's definitely not a winger or even play him in a role just behind a striker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very happy right up until the Ayr game. Still am and do think we have a good squad of players..... it's just frustrating knowing we are still relying on Bobby so much when we were in the most attractive position we've been in in years for attracting players to the club. We have taken him for granted way too much he's needing a hand and so do the rest of the guys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
