East Fife v Clyde


Recommended Posts

Looked knackered and played like it too. Disappointing we couldn't sneak a draw given the other result but 4 points from this week is probably more than we thought we would get. Started the week in 10th, finish it in 8th. Now the aim is to stay there at a minimum.

Got the job done in the end but my god what a brutal game of football that was. First half was a massive improvement from Tuesday night, especially across the midfield with Newton closing down non-stop. Second half was a total snore fest. 

Welcome 3 points nonetheless. Clyde without Goodwillie are awful.

To be fair, we’ve played 4 games in a 12 days and were onto about rotation number 4. Awful yes, but it wasn’t just “Clyde without Goodwillie”. Not that we’re great at the best of times, mind you.

Pretty good laugh that. First half thought Clyde were woeful, worst I've seen this season. The number of times they let the ball come into their box without getting a head on it was genuinely atrocious. Felt like we should have been more than 1 nil up at half time and we almost regretted it as the second half was a much more even affair. Pretty bad quality with a mixture of exhaustion and rotation probably having a fair impact on both teams.

Both young left backs put in very good showings. Miller Fenton had a very good game in his first senior start and Otoo looked class for Clyde.

And probably travelled 1000 miles then spent a day at work. It must be brutal.

Going on our first half performance we deserved nothing with Howie's header start of 2nd our only real chance over 90

This Sat ensure these lads on team bus and only these - Vajs..Bain. Cassidy...Butterworth. Robertson. McCormick.Ritchie-Hosler. Lamont and couple of trialists if allowed..

Forget Love. Otto. Mitchell & of course DGW.

20k for playing this tie is nothing compared to league survival and hopefully kicking on next season...

Dumbarton and Forfar both have cup ties sat aswell as midweek fixtures themselves & we need everyone fit and fresh for Tue/Thu

Think everyone agrees. Really poor, lethargic Clyde side. Nothing going up front to relieve the pressure. Midfielders like McGlinchey taking five or six touches before moving it on. Only Otoo really stood out. But you need to bear in mind his age, levels of natural fitness and the fact he's a full-time player. Celtic don't tend to give out three year deals to young players if they're honking so I think we've done a good bit of business there. He's miles off their first team, clearly, but he's the first good left back we've had since... God. Maybe Scott Linton or Scott McMann.

East Fife put in a good shift and looked much quicker about the pitch than we did.

I'm not sure we could've done much better in the circumstances, to be fair.

Oh well. Roll on the cup and a run out for the young lads and the less used loan players.

These are the games where Goodie would possibly rescued us with an undeserved equaliser.

Keeping at 1-0 is unusual for us as until very recently we shipped at least 2, so don’t know if that is at least an improvement moving into next couple of weeks. But we really need him back and with some service or support.
