Where has it gone wrong? Genuine question, no wind up intended as I though, like us, you’d turned a corner. I don’t understand the hype that surrounds him from a lot of the Berwick support. He didn’t exactly come with an outstanding CV. He won promotion from the diddy junior league, then a a cup win with Penicuik nothing outstanding. Penicuik got there arses handed to them any time they played 1 of the bigger junior teams yet he thinks 4 of that squad ( and I believe he wants to bring in another couple) are going to be good enough and better the current team!! I dare say if u compared his record to Robbie a this season he would probably be worse off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he’s aware but football is an objective sport where u have to score goals and try an prevent you opponents from doing the same. Seen 1 fan comment last week that cowden where a gang, I would much rather be a gang and in Cowdens position pushing for a play off spot that in our getting pumped every week and not even competing!!

cfcuk Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We are stuck in the traffic just now. Easy win today. Very comfortable and could have scored a few more. Whole team played well but thought Rankin was outstanding. His free kick for the 3rd goal was a beauty. Goodwillie had an ice pack on his arm after clashing with the keeper for his goal. Hopefully nothing that will keep him out the team. Berwick were awful just as bad as Albion Rovers when we played them just before Xmas. Today's game was almost a carbon copy of that game. Hope the journey ain't too long [emoji45]We have two weeks till next game so gives DGW a time to recover , another good result and 1 goal conceded in 5 games look like we have sorted out losing goals and with midfield chipping in with goals strong bench good times [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwoodBoy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Really enjoyed that today, team playing really well & clear to see full of confidence. Rankin was probably our best player but a tough decision as so many played really well. Ps. Great to have a wee chat with Eric Tait(?) and he saw the funny side of his post match interview when we beat them 1-0 from that Goodwillie penalty. A sound lad who is clearly very passionate about his club. Respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Rankin was man of the match. His performance was great, topped with a fantastic free kick.Allison was the best of a very poor Berwick. I don't recall Currie having a save to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for you Fergie Robbie Played 14 Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 12 Johnny Played 12 Won 3 Drawn 2 Lost 7 So Harvey has a slightly better record so far although his "extra" win was in the Scottish Cup against Gretna. He had a decent start I suppose with 3 wins in his 1st 5 games but hasn't won in the last 7. Best result would probably be their comeback against Edinburgh City a few weeks back.

Disc Potato Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well done Clyde, a very fair result. I don’t think Clyde have the same strength and depth as Edinburgh City and Peterhead but they have the best manager of the three. Setup of your team was excellent today, used the width of the pitch superbly well and very well organised. The difference between that game and our comeback against EC was Rankin, he killed the game for you at 0-2 with his controlled possession. Its hard work right now and a tough one next week for us. We need to stick together and support the team through these extremely tough times. Thought Barr was excellent once again and It’s great to have Healy back.

Thankfully the police van went past us with their hazards on & then blocked off the road. First car to be sent up the sliproad so avoided any queues. Feel for all the supporters who would have been just in front of us but that got stuck. Hopefully nobody was injured although think it was a bad one sadly.

Jack Burton Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Anyone else get stuck on the A1 for over an hour? atleast the win makes it worth it! Yeah we got stuck for an hour. Looked a bad one, multiple cars involved at least 4 of which were totalled. Hopefully everyone got out of it OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say Edinburgh have the least strength in depth of the 3. Peterhead have the strongest squad. We aren't too bad for most positions but could with another striker though.

Disc Potato Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Alll about opinions but I think EC have the strongest squad. Cameron Blues going on loan from Livi too to EC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully nobody was injured although think it was a bad one sadly. Stuck for over an hour. Happened about 300 yards in front of me.Looked really bad from the aftermath. Hope none of our lot were involved in it. Can't remember a more one sided game. So many positives but it is a bit of a worry that we aren't converting more of our chances. That could hurt us badly in a tighter game. Still let's not worry about that just now, just enjoy the continuing winning streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long time since I have seen three teams as strong as EC, Peterhead and Clyde in this league. Streets ahead of the rest. Exciting times for all three clubs. I'd say that, in terms of depth, we are pretty close to Peterhead. What they do have as an advantage is a raft of experienced players who can do a job in several positions. Edinburgh are a bit behind both, in my opinion. Their recent signing of Galbraith has added a bit of depth but they're lean outside of that. I think that the January dealings of each club, along with the standard rub of the green with injuries, suspensions and postponements, will go some way to deciding which comes out on top at the end of the season.

Slightly harsh to take betfred cup matches into consideration with 2 premier league teams on group. So based on league games ... Robbie - played 9 won 2. drawn 0. lost 7 goals for - 8 Goals against 21 Gd - -13 Johnny played 10 won 2 drawn 2 lost 6 goals for - 11.

They devoted a lot of time to the "title race" in League 1. Eleven points between 1st and 2nd compared to five points between 1st and 3rd in League 2.

I just worked out a list of all the games maybe would have been better just comparing league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
