CM. Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 7 minutes ago, clyde_darren said: I thought it was a back 4 of: Lyon, Howie, Rumsby, McNiff. With Petkov in a deep midfield role and Love as a left mid but constantly moving into a defensive position allowing McNiff to get tighter to the other centre halves. It depends on your view of the game and everyone has their own opinions but I reckon it was 4 at the back with Love/Smith providing plenty of help to McNiff down that side. Thats what I saw it as: Mitchell Lyon Howie Rumsby McNiff McStay Petkov Lamont Grant Love Goodwillie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Aye definitely a back 4. The midfield was much flatter than usual cos we needed the wingers to protect our weak full backs (mcniff anyway). Something we should have been doing from the very start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Definitely a back four, and what's more it was a back four for the entire game whereas usually it would fluctuate to a three in possession. I don't think Lyon or McNiff went forward more than a couple of times in open play. Four across the middle with McStay/Love detailed to track their full-backs. You could argue either way as to whether Lamont was up front or in midfield; he played off Goodwillie exceptionally well either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love, the only viable 'other' forward, i grant you played almost entirely defensively on the left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure a dunfermline fan was on last week saying they have injuries at centre half so I imagine it won’t be happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only one David Marsh Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Love was playing more like a LWB Moore kept shouting at him to not venture too far up at corners/freekicks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 First trip to Forfar myself on Saturday and looking forward to it. Saturday should give us a huge boost of confidence, but Forfar will be another big test as I expect them to be challenging for the play offs. A draw would be fine, I said after the first 4 games that 4 points would be a good return, although I didn’t expect to get it. Hope we can kick on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 33 minutes ago, SLClyde said: How is parking around the stadium? Shouldn't be a problem. Smallish car park next to turnstiles, but more space if you turn up John Street. There's a car park on the left but for the full Forfar experience turn right at the end, cross a cattle grid and drive up to the back of the stand area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Bully Wee Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Well I'll trust in Danny & Alan for how we set up and approach the game. Masterstroke last week and hopefully we've adapted to League 1 football now and push on. Really looking forward to the game on Saturday, travelling down from Sutherland via Inverness, then onto Aberdeen (family) then East Kilbride (family), and back up to Forfar.................if I hadn't already made arrangements the Glasgow Branch bus would have been a great alternative travel from EK (just seen it on the OF)!!................ All the best for a noisy Saturday afternoon, c'mon the Mighty Bully Wee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwoodBoy Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Can you leave the west side of the ground & out on to Muir street? May be required to get back down the road quickly after the match & when looking Muir Street is recommended for parking & easy access back on to the A90? Moving on to the game... fancy a difficult contest but if Wallace comes in for Petkov & we play with same tactics as Saturday we will get the 3 points. Johnston coming off the bench second half to add some creativity! Looking forward to it! 2-0 Clyde 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeLad Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The way the table is looking already every game is goin to be tough, I’ll say 1-1 and will Be happy with that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Of The Clyde Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 1-1 would be a decent result and I guess I would be quite happy with that but it would be nice to get the 3 pts and build up a bit of momentum. Saturday's result and performance will surely give the players a much needed boost, so here's hoping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
