Bully Wee Clyde FC Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Two 1 on 1's v QP on Saturday typified Currie's ability. Some harsh critics out there, have you seen his understudy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 You'd be very hard-pressed to find a keeper with better kicking and passing ability than Currie outside of full-time clubs in Scotland. Distribution is by far the strongest part of his game, and he's not exactly a bad keeper outside of that, although prone to the occasional lapse (unfortunately maybe twice vs Peterhead). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether its Lennon’s coaching or confidence who knows, but he just does what a CH at this level does, in addition he rarely gives free kicks away which is unusual at this level, is physical enough and in actual fact his distribution has been very good. Him and Lang compliment each other really well. Lang also has just about rid himself of the casual streak that threatened to ruin him game. Always liked Grant but again has added a bit of physicality to his game.. important player. by casual you mean taking the ball and passing to the midfield rather than shelling the ball up the park into a corner Rumsby has been solid no more no less you get what you see as you say what you need at this level, since the new year the defence has been terrific 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 By casual I mean he was playing at full back and for some reason gave the ball away and was casual in possession. The reason being, he was in position he couldn’t play, a fact obvious to everyone. Since moving to what it seems is his natural position he has been immense. Power, pace and dominant in the air.. probably now best CH in the league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post was only quoted when I was just making the point that cfcuk himself was doing with Lang just the other day what others are now doing with Currie. Lang's been a revelation since he's come in but he does have a tendency to suffer a drop off in concentration a few times within a game. I don't completely understand the golden boy status he appears to hold with some, but he's a very good player and one I'd hope we can hold on to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s held in such high esteem because his ability on the ball, his control, confidence and distribution on top of his defensive duties surpasses that of most CBs in the lower tiers. Not one CB we’ve had since Higgins could lace his boots imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 We’ve definitely scored a few goals that have started off with curries kick outs. I think he’s a decent keeper but has the odd game you just wonder what’s going on with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon has them avoiding an agricultural punt up the park as much as possible and that sometimes results in the above. Some fans get annoyed by this but don’t seem to see what’s behind it (i.e. avoiding giving the ball away when we don’t have a big target man to play route one football). The margin for error is far smaller when Currie is aiming for a guy on the touch line, compared to a safe punt to the middle (where it’s 50/50 at best that we keep possession). That’s my take on it anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my take on it anyway. That's a very good breakdown. McNiff is arguably- no, IS- our best aerial threat, and going to the left with kicks out, going up against wide rights/fullbacks undoubtedly increases our chances of retention than going central. And, of course, it works. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
