CM. Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Looking back at the highlights, frustrating that McNiff never managed to cut out that cross field ball which left him 2 v 1 which ultimately led to the equaliser. It looked a simple header if he jumped an inch or 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 As an aside, why is Cuddihy taking our freekicks in shooting positions? He took one the other week (against Queen's Park?) and smashed that straight into the wall as well. I know Rankin would normally be our first choice but surely someone else is better than Cuddihy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamA Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Excellent highlights, always good to see it from the opposite side. Think ours will be up for the morning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukejoaitken Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Pretty certain we should have had a penalty just after the equaliser, from the corner looks like the ball comes off the defenders left arm. More or less the same call Clyde got for their pen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClyde1877 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 To be honest I think many of us (Clyde fans) are overreacting a wee bit. On reflection I think we were ok, first game at home against a decent experienced side and we competed. First half I think we probably overdid the effort if that is possible the result being that we were blowing out our backside by the hour mark. We will learn from that. Also don’t think McNiff as bad as some are saying, yes he is not a LB but was not our worst player yesterday. Need to see their goal again but at the time I don’t think Grant and McStay covered themselves in glory during they buildup at the time I though they won possession gave it away then repeated the same thing, result they broke quickly down our left hence exposing McNiff where we don’t want him to be. Slight criticism of Lennon here; think subs should have been in earlier, Lamont certainly. We were crying out for some legs and energy in midfield, I assume Love was only making up numbers on bench, otherwise he should have been thrown on too. Overall would have been happy with point beforehand so not too upset, yes we do have issues address defensively and also in terms of coping with key players injured or at least only half fit. Pity finances don’t allow a couple of key additions as we are not too far short of being a decent L1 side. A fit Goodwillie would make all the difference too, I’d actually be tempted to take him out of side completely for couple of weeks and see if he can actually recover properly. McNiff by a considerable head and shoulders has been the worst player in the team since we returned for pre-season. Agree we competed decently but should've made subs a helluva lot earlier. Like Danny said post-match, these games are learning curves. As long as we aren't being embarrassed in the next few tough games we have coming up, excited to see what we get with Goodie, Rankin, Norway and Love coming back into the side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked a simple header if he jumped an inch or 2. Having now watched the EF highlights mcniff could possibly have cut that out but he would needed to have turned and let his man run off him to win the header. Easier to follow his man and stand him up as he did. Can see why DL was annoyed at Wallace as the overlap comes from him not tracking back and leaves Mcniff 2 on 1.To be fair I don’t think mcniff did too much wrong for the goal but that’s not to say I think he is the answer at LB. He does seem to be the target for most of our frustrations at the minute though, in this case harshly so IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I've watched them myself from the other side and it's perhaps a bit harsh on him in this case. Would still argue he could've tried to glance it out for a shy at least. 3 hours ago, BWAClyde said: According to a steward the away end will be opened 6 times this season. If true then almost certainly Falkirk x2, Raith x2, Airdrie x2. To be perfectly honest I think it's only needed for Falkirk. They took nearly 1k to Peterhead on Saturday so if they're going well they could easily bring double that to Broadwood. Edited August 5, 2019 by C.

Highland Bully Wee Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thoroughly enjoyed Saturdays game, proverbial game of two halves, East Fife looked a decent side and should be there in the mix come May. Thought if we had taken a two goal lead then we could have consolidated the lead. Looked as though a few were breathing heavily midway through 2nd half and to be fair it was pretty muggy and the new park would have been a contributing factor. Should see a huge difference when Rankin comes back to lead and encourage others around, in addition to a fully fit Love and Norway. First time viewing recent signings and pleasantly surprised, although I still think more quality and contribution to come when all fully up to speed. Solid performances required over the next three games against full-time outfits, remember they're no Barcelona!!..........

There is also the on going issue, and its been going since last season. We continually lose possession from our own throw-ins. It does my head in, particularly as on Saturday as that's exactly where the build up the EF goal came from. Generally got away with it last year but not now, we cant give up cheap possession. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally got away with it last year but not now, we cant give up cheap possession. We've been inept at throw-ins for years - it drives me insane, as well. If it's not high enough up the park for a long throw into the box (and we're not even good at them anyway), then we really look like we don't have a clue what to do. Usually, there is no movement for them, and when there is the throw in is usually poor and awkward to control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
