Clyde01 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Time to get the real stuff started. A pretty dire preseason and league cup showing has drained away much of the optimism I had following promotion. As discussed at length elsewhere the left hand side of our defence is a disaster and Ray Grant (probably our best player over the matches so far) is suspended. How do we think this will pan out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 We are coming off the back of a great couple of results, but we now need to put the game vs the zombies on the back burner and get down to our bread and butter.I don’t know what to expect from Clyde this season but have some handy players in their squad with the likes of Goodwillie (who I believe isn’t 100% yet), Rankin and Wallace who was decent for us.For us, we should pretty much be at full strength, with plenty competition throughout the team and a good problem for Young to have. It will be unlikely we will have 3 upfront so I reckon it will be any 2 from Dowds, Duggan and Wallace which is a pretty good attacking option. It sounds like Higgins had a good game vs Hearts so he might start ahead of Watson. We will probably line up something similar to............................ LongMurdoch, Dunlop, Higgins, SlatteryDunsmore, Agnew, Davidson, Watt........... Dowds, Wallace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde_1977 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hoping there will be some sort of bounce from being back at Broadwood and a decent home crowd will get us fired up. Clyde win 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clyde Man Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 From what I’ve seen we won’t be troubling too many teams until we get our defence sorted and Rankine back.Goodie isn’t quite ready yet either so until these things happen then we could be cannon fodder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) We've had a poor build up, but we're nowhere near to being cannon fodder yet. I am looking forward to being back at Broadwood, though I hope the pitch is in decent condition, as they often talk about a bedding period for new articificial pitches. A pleasant reminder of where we are - I just went to Bet365 to check the odds for the game and instinctivey clicked on League 2, before realising I was in the wrong place. Going for a 2-2 draw.

FullTimePint Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I expect Clyde to be a decent outfit this year, and this should be a pretty tough starter. Saying that, I just cannot see us not scoring, and provided the backline plays aswell as it has done in the last few games then i would trust us for a handy 2-0 Duggan, Dowds Our problem is that when we make errors that lead to silly goals, they come in twos and threes. Hopefully Saturday isn't one of those days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Expecting east fife to be a pretty good team this year and push for a play off, so will be a tough start. I’m always confident with the midfield and front line we have we can score so will be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Fife Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Do I detect a sense of reality amongst our Clyde brethren or is it early days? Where is the "we are the big club" borefest that we have come to loath? That aside, Lennon has done a decent job since he came in and I think Clyde will do ok this season. Always a tricky place to visit so I'm going for a score draw (2-2) with Chris Templeman grabbing the first hatrick of the new season in record time. And where is Jamesy? He was always my favorite Clyde poster and brought some much needed sanity to the forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambuslang Fifer Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 With the bookies Cup games out the road for the time being really hope we build from the three wins...Broadwood slash the toon of cumbernauld away has been a sticky place to vist in recent games in the past though this season were both in League 1 and not league 2 so hopefully away win of 2-0 with Guy Kerr scoring a diving header and Blondie Mullen one time hit via free kick genius escaping 10 Clyde men inside their own penalty area 'absolute belter from a gerry cinnamon playlist tbf' But thank god the fitbaw is back that's all I'm saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeStonehouse Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) A poor pre season and cup campaign aside, we are in a new and far better league this season so it's going to be a tough one. It's also going to be an extremely competitive league and other than Falkirk and Raith so its anyone guess who could make the playoffs imo. East Fife are a good side and saturday will be a tough one. Tbh I'd take a draw now so we dont kick off the season with a home defeat. Duggan will be a danger if he plays as he always has been. Really looking forward to this season though after being promoted last season. Fingers crossed Danny sorts out the defence and we announce a signing or 2 before saturday!

Karpaty Lviv Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think being back at Broadwood will be an advantage for us but we need to defend a lot better than what we have done. Particularly the flanks. Should be plenty of goals at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
