Walk Glasgow Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 ....So do we enter the field on our knees and ask them to please not beat us? If you think you can't get a result then you surely won't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 5 hours ago, Walk Glasgow said: That's the thing, SL Clyde: You see it every season where teams that have had a dire campaign suddenly do the biz against all expectations right at the end. Whether it is largely down to opponents with no incentive to compete or complacency with sides in party mode doesn't matter. Corner a rat in a broom cupboard and trust me it won't roll over! I would expect us to go for it and Peterhead to do likewise if/when we don't take our chances. As for the (hopefully) playoffs, we have been mainly up against full time opposition all season so, without being disrespectful in any way, we should go into this expecting to prevail and chasing a win in both legs of the tie(s). That said, if we go down without a whimper and there is neither the money, the strategy, the demonstrable vision for the next campaign or (joke coming up) a "REAL businessman with investment" then it is Sayonara Clyde sooner rather than later. Agreed teams can pull results out at the end, Albion Rovers and Bonnyrigg for example have done it late on. I just don’t see Peterhead doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we have no natural centre backs playing. Otoo seems more of a left back but is the closest player to what you would call a centre back. We have Comrie who's a 5 foot 9 right back and Chris Hamilton a 5 foot 7 defensive midfielder. No Bene or Breen. Must be tempting to have a go at a back line like that. On the flip side, we have done better against teams that have a go at us. Our biggest problem has been teams sitting in very deep. Edinburgh and Kelty have recently done that and come away with a point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His form only improved after Christmas when he got himself fit. I think he is the outstanding player of the entire league but it’s a shame he has used us in this manor. mark my words he will be with airdrie or kelty next season. Already been at Airdrie and flopped, bad attitude apparently, To me he is an archetype League 1 jobber, he played ok in the 5 1 game a few weeks ago but he was playing against an 18 year old rookie, he like a,shot right enough, if he does sign the club better get nets for behind the goal to catch his many shots on goal... For me Kelt y or whoever can have him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Disappointed to lose the game today to an injury time goal. I thought we were excellent defensively. Dunfermline hardly had a shot on target out with their goals. And credit where credit is due. I've been very critical of Docherty recently. I thought he was impressive today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter claims the disallowed goal was onside and we had a couple of other chances which were better than anything Dunfermline mustered. No doubt that we are a better team now than we were when Duffy took over, if still a bit behind the standard required at this level. Doherty played well, as did the centre halves. Very disappointed in Rennie's contribution off the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 If anyone said to me in November we would not be 10th I’d have laughed in their face we were SO excruciatingly bad. So I’m still shocked we actually made the playoff place. Absolutely no idea how we will do but at least have a chance, whether deserved or not, Peterhead it would seem, are even worse than us thankfully. I just pray our habit of gifting goals even when playing quite well does not continue into the playoff games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Given we only have one home match left this season, it's worth highlighting our away league record since promotion: Played: 61 Won: 9 Drawn: 14 Lost: 38 Goals Scored: 48 Goals Conceded: 108 When you add in the fact we weren't even allowed in the stadium to see four of those away wins, it's not been great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutherGlen Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) We're not very good but we're clearly a hell of a lot better than our league position would suggest. If the players continue to put in the effort they have the last few games I see no reason why we won't get through the relegation playoff. Definitely worth a point today which would have seen us draw three outta 4 with the (almost) runaway league winners. Where did it all go wrong?
