Clydeside Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 This is probably as agreeable an end to Mitch's time at Clyde as there could be. We're getting a good replacement and a fee. Potentially a player or two on loan as well. Falkirk were silly to let him away when they did. He's an excellent goalkeeper. There are only a few you'd swap him for in the whole country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly wouldn’t have been short of offers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons trained in Glasgow and Morgyn lives in Lanarkshire, so I doubt he'd pick Clyde over Cove if you guys offered two years and similar money to ourselves. If I was playing L1 and having to travel to Aberdeen plus possibly Perth once a week for training plus everyother week for matches compared to Glasgow / Cumbernauld, I'd be counting my time at £20 per hr. What a hassle. Training at Dumbarton or Lanarkshire I could be in home for half 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came back from a serious injury under McKinnon and got a chance when that fucking clown Fasan got himself suspended and he threw the ball into the net in a 1-0 home defeat by Ayr iirc. He just didn’t work out with us, it happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the Parry signing makes much more sense now on the back of that news. Excellent move for Mitch and maybe Ross can do us a turn by firing us a couple of loan players (that are ready to play in our league). Nah obviously that’s how football works. I just meant from our perspective it might have been better knowing in July he was off. Parry as good as we could get in at this stage. He’s better than Hutton anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the round there's no doubt he's been better for Clyde than for Falkirk of course. I accept that. If Clyde let a player go and he then becomes an excellent player at the same level or better I tend to reflect on that as our failure. There are some exceptions to that rule of course. However, a newly injury-free goalkeeper like Mitch who has always had a good attitude would be one I looked back on and cringed about were I a Falkirk supporter. Not that Falkirk have had too much bother with goalies since mind you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him more highly than that. And I expect Hibs could source a keeper whose ability would place him in the lower half of the championship without having to pay a transfer fee if they wanted to. I don't see Mitch as having a lot of limitations outside of his height. He's not short of course. But he doesn't have the sheer size of frame and athleticism that goalkeepers often need in order to get to the highest levels of the SPL or down south. A bit like Soutar at Hearts, he's a player whose development was stunted by injury and now that he's been able to get a couple of seasons behind him he's grown in quality just as he might've but for those injuries. He's shown himself to be an athletic, decisive and commanding goalkeeper and a great shotstopper too. Memorably, two or three opposition managers have used the expression 'world-class' - albeit a bit cheaply! - to describe saves he has made these past couple of years. He's only played poorly in the last couple of games in my opinion. And we might as well put that down to a move being on his mind. In almost every game inbetween he's been superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Phillips Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Sad to see Mitch go but I think the time is right, Will miss him a great character and overall great guy. His interaction with the fans was second to none. Always the first one clapping us. One of our best players over the few years we have had him. As others have said it would be ideal if we got a decent fee to actually get in players that play in defence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your whole post, however at this point I reckon we agree to disagree. Realistically he will go to be 2nd or 3rd choice keeper at Hibs, he’s a good cheap option and someone playing below his level at a club who money is priority number 1. Is he better than Aidan McAdams at Ayr? I don’t think so. He’s a great guy to have about and does coaching etc he has a lot of upside. It’s a great move for him and deserved, it’s a good move for both clubs and he goes on with the best of wishes and he has been integral to us staying in league 1. Parry coming in makes this a minimal blow. I hope the guy proves me wrong btw. Would love to see him be number 1 at Hibs. Would be good from a recruiting point also Edited August 27, 2021 by Ocelot1877 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Sad to see Mitch go. Bar a few games this season he’s been excellent for us. That save at Firhill in the cup against Thistle, though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Clyde nor Dumbarton could even come close to matching it, I’d be surprised if we could even pay half of what they are paying him.. I’m sure the extra travelling is a minor inconvenience when you are earning a fair whack for playing part-time football on a 3 year deal. Given Cove are also expected to fight for the title he may also have ambitions of picking up a league winners medal. A no brainer for him IMO, even with the extra travelling. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an trained interviewer by any stretch of the imagination and we are not going in to this to start a fight and confront from the off but we are not going to shy away from asking questions because we volunteer at the club in a number of positions. We will ask any question that comes in to us to the chairman but this should only be a starter to greater communication from all at the club. It does not fulfil any promise on that front but it is a step in the right direction however big or small it is deemed. Edited to add : Article up with details on how to submit questions. I locked myself out of this account so couldn't post them earlier. https://www.clydefc.co.uk/news/2021/08/23/6896/#.YSP-9o5Kg2w How do you feel the session went? I felt GT was given an easy ride. I may have missed the Arria bit, I don't know. GT rambled on about how the Diamond and PJ did so much more than recruitment. I heard no follow up Q on how Danny's recruitment has been his weakest suit and asking why, with such a well thought out structure, we have ended up with a squad of guys who weren't getting a game for teams in the league below us, are farmed out to LL teams, have had little game time and approached us to be signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullyweeno1 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Yeah I was a bit disappointed about the podcast. Not really interested in all the stuff in the background. That is for those who want to get involved to deal with Also how many times do we need to look at the - “should we stay or move story”. Unless someone willing to gift/pay for a stadium then a non starter as without looking into the details we don’t have any money to invest in one. should be looking at 1. How to generate funds from staying at broadwood 2. How to increase home attendance to over 1k from the local community 3. How we can start at least one youth team with the vision to produce at least 1 player a year who plays for the first team As a fan all interested in is what see on the pitch. However GT probably not the best person to be asking questions on that Hopefully podcast get “dick and Dom” on the podcast soon as GT indicated they would be happy to do so to get questioned on recruitment Edited August 28, 2021 by Bullyweeno1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'm regards to the podcast I was interested to hear about all the work done by our recruitment department.Hence it's shocking that we've then signed Page (played poorly in a relegated Brechin team), Robert Jones (awful for Dumbarton), McGrath (already away on loan), Balatoni (offered his own services), Monro (wasn't that great last season for Clyde) and Rumsby.Also add Nicoll, Andrew, Tade, Mortimer and Docherty.Money well spent on recruitment? Only Splaine and Gomis look decent. Elsdon looks okay too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeFCTheBullyWee Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Anyone know what injury Love has that’s keeping him out the team ? Tade as well, because I thought for him it was just fitness ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I thought the podcast was quite clear in putting the blame for a poorly assembled squad firmly on Danny Lennon's shoulders. It unfortunately is a continuation of his previous work in the transfer market. I prefer not to be given false promises so it delivered on that front (does GT know any Spanish pop stars?). I did hope there would have been more of an acceptance of the situation we are in this season though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Either this full league is fucking hopeless or Lennon is a genius. Either way, a brilliant result today, especially after last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
