David W Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 We were miles better with eleven so the red card didn't change things other than it probably made it harder for us to score more. Still, we should have got far more than the three we did get. Same eleven but we put McStay deep with Nicoll and physically they dominated the match. Syvertsen behind DGW. Rankin, who was outstanding, and Lamont everywhere playing off the wings. First goal came from a sublime back heel from Rankim that put Syvertsen through, he passed onto Goodwillie was was chopped down with only the keeper to beat. Second was a daft foul by Omar, a good delivery from Rankin and the ball hit Beattie and went in (No surprise as he's the size of the penalty area). We were in control before McGovern's madness and nothing changed. Lots of chances for Goodwillie and Lyon. Good wee hooked cross from DGW to set up Love for an easy header. Disappointing to lose a goal late on, poor defending at back post possibly from Cuddihy. Totally undeserved. Great to win again up here again finally. We look to have Elgin's number this season with our pace in midfield. Back four cruised it, Cogill again a difference maker. Rankin my MotM just ahead of McStay. Syvertsen played a lot of quicker touches, kept the ball rather than running with it. Nicoll in charge. Lamont picked up every second ball in the first half and hit the bar with a stonking shot. Goodwillie played well but should have scored more. Snatching at things a bit. Elgin were absolutely diabolical. A couple of players overweight, their captain losing the plot, and even Cameron had a stinker and seemed to be the source of their fans angst. Gifted us the ball so much. Heading down the table I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxruby Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Pretty sure that was said after the Edinburgh game only a few weeks ago now...A few weeks you say. Easier to say two perhaps? Since then we are unbeaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 A great result today, but it's so frustrating that we can run over teams away from home and yet struggle so badly to replicate these performances at Broadwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing more centrally perhaps suiting Mcstay more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elginer Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Clyde are a completely different team from the last few visits to Boroughbriggs and should easily make the playoffs. They should have won today by a much bigger margin and if Goodwillie had his shooting boots on would have done so. Elgin are in a mess and sadly I do not think the manager has any clue how to solve their problems. The constant changes of formation suggest he is struggling. I was disappointed that John McGovern was back in midfield today as he does not have the legs for that role and we missed his passing from the back today. Beattie and co simply booted the ball long giving the midfield and forwards little chance. We also have a few players who are not up to the standard required and I fear we will continue to slide down the table . Hopefully our current points total will be enough to avoid being sucked into the bottom of the table battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigGuy Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Well done Clyde reading the stats it should have been more. Elgin are evidently struggling but I'll take the win... Another break lessoned by today's result though with some winnable games coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Following up a poor performance and result against Peterhead with 7 points from the next 3 is good going. Pleased to see goodie back scoring. Annan drawing helps. Good day all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde_darren Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Some people were slating Rankin just a few weeks ago but I think the last 2 away games (Edinburgh and Elgin) has showed what he can do and without doubt he leaves his all on the pitch. Was all over the park today, not afraid to take the ball and 9 times out of 10 found a red shirt going forward. He looked to have more freedom to move about and it suited him perfectly. He’s going to be a very important player for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxruby Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Penalty, man advantage, O.G., last minute goal conceded. Great away win?Wasn’t there so can pass no opinion on the overall performance. Finding it difficult to feel anything more than satisfaction at the result rather than fevered anticipation for future fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserved the slating just as much as he now deserves the praise- he’s improved massively and is now looking like the player we thought we’d signed.

David W Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Elgin managers level of deflection is Mourinho-esque. Rabin got the ball. Rabin didn't foul Rankin. McGovern was taking a throw. Key decisions went against us. Absolute drivel; try having the ball for more than 5 seconds at a time and you might get something. Did think Grant should have been booked in fairness. The highlights are basically the whole game without our spells of possession and a corner kick Elgin had at the start of the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
