Clyde FC; Season 2022-23


Recommended Posts

To those who say it'll be alright on the night, when the season starts proper...

Goal 1defensive error, poor clearance ball comes back and we lose a soft pen

Goal 2 Caught in left side of defence. Gave away clumsy free kick and asleep at the resultant free kick

Goal 3 Attack breaks down on our right we lose ball and get caught in procession on left side of defense.

There is NO EVIDENCE DL has this in hand. He knew we were losing Coghill and must have strongly suspected we were not going to retain Lang. A replacement CB would have my no1 priority.

We cannot continue with McNiff at left back. We need pace in that position.

Also we were totally toothless until we were 3-0 down. We cannot rely on the forwards to score more than the opposition.

I'm trusting Lennon to sort out the defence but I'm starting to get worried.

Agree 100%

A leftback is the clear priority, far behind a centreback.

I'd hope we start games with the lineup we finished with. Give Johnston the free role in the middle, with no defensive responsibilities. Lamont & Wallace on the wings, who work much harder than Johnston & Smith, who provide no cover.

Wallace on the left would give us some physicallity and lessen the need for McNiff at left back.

There were defensive mistakes in the build up but ultimately Grant gave away a cheap penalty, anyone (though probably Grant again) should have tracked the run at the freekick, and McStay (having done well to get the ball) gave it away so easily in an awful position.

Most likely will want to loan someone in (which won’t happen until after the betfred group if they’re from a Scottish club).

Every mistake we made today is something to learn from. We are threadbare at the back right now. We weren’t good enough today but there’s no reason to believe DL doesnt have this in hand

We really need a decent left back who can defend or a left wing back who's got some pace and a decent delivery, as McNiff is a bomb scare unless he's in the middle. Tom Lang was pish at right back until eventually he was played in the middle.
Either play McNiff along side Rumsby in a two or left of a back three if we're going to play Howie. He's decent enough for this level played at his strength.

Can guarantee you that our defence will secure at least a decent number of clean sheets this season

Posted over on the cup thread here.

No issue with people saying no panic required - because there isn't really, not while we're still recruiting - but don't come on giving it some pish about how Lennon's infallible, we're all ungrateful and the players need time. We need two or three more defenders. Anyone who disagrees is either ignorant or content to flirt with relegation.

:lol:
