Tam lang is a good player but we need to stop looking back the way. We need to recruit tried and tested and put pressure on the board to step up with the poppy. If we continue to recruit second division players we will end up in the second division 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather we focus on getting quality on the pitch in all areas and the goals come from all over the park than look for one major goal source. We had that for years and we can’t put our eggs on one basket, it simply doesn’t work. The only way Clyde sign a 20 goal a season striker is if we unveil a gem from the lowland/west of Scotland league no one has heard of, or we get a quality player and feed him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really.....what makes you think Gomis is going to be fast this year. Time will tell but very much doubt we will end up with an exciting, fit, fast, attacking team. (thats basically a Man City, Liverpool, Celtic type of team). Those types of teams dont appear by luck.

I think you make some great points but the best we can hope for is not to get relegated and how poor is that.DL has cleared out a lot of the dead wood but does he have the money to improve on the squad he had last season.I think not.I was at the Q&A and he has a relegation budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we are going to struggle this year I think. Overall the league is stronger with the additions of QOS, Dunfermline, Kelty and Edinburgh City Then you have Montrose and Airdrie who will both be strong if they retain their squad Also think Falkirk will be a lot better with McGlynn in charge. That just leaves us, Alloa and Peterhead. Think will between those three and Edinburgh City for the bottom 2 places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest the squad needed major surgery. Some of our best players were out injured for much of last season and the squad had no depth. Hopefully DL will get the recruitment right. This will be a challenge just to stay in the league next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have teams like Pollok, Talbot etc who carry a support similar to what Clyde had in League 2 and maybe more than other league 2 teams. Talbot, Pollok etc make the most of cups and budget to be competitive and push in the league, these teams also own their own grounds and are very well ran off the park. Ultimately I wouldn’t say it’s surprising that they can offer good wages but I’d be surprised if their top end earners were earning the same as Clydes top earners, but those teams are also more attractive because they are competitive and players would rather be winning and going for silverware and making decent money. Being involved at the wrong end of the table and battling for points in front of an angry support isn’t attractive for some players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have touched on the point of owning your own stadium and at Clyde it will never happen unfortunately as they don't have the finances .The club live from hand to mouth and the players leaving to play in lower leagues for more money is a lack of ambition on the players part. Ready to start a new season and the realisation its going to be tough with the level of competition we will be up against is soul destroying but i hope DL signs some good players to allow us to compete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob731 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I fear that the job this year will be even out with Danny’s capabilities. We’ll be favourites for relegation let’s be under no illusion. I really fear the worst this season due to some of the teams in the league this year. Absolutely fascinating though how this league is going to play out . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Carrigan Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Yeah, it’s going to be another season where we have to hope at least one team has an absolute nuke. Depending on the next few bits of recruitment, we’ll be (correctly imho) favourites to finish rock bottom, so we really need to be pulling something out the bag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Depends who signs who but I’m struggling to see how Edinburgh city won’t be favourites to go straight back down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) I’m not so sure about that. I’d agree that that EC and Peterhead will be the obvious targets to finish above to try and stay up but Peterhead have always had the wool over us in the key games and I think EC will be well backed and are in a good geographic area for players.
