shawfield shed boy Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Lost for words how poor we were again. No service for Goodie and really struggling to make simple passes. I hope we have a clear out in the summer if we manage to stay up.QP will be much better than one of the teams their replacing. IF and only if we manage stay up were going to need that clear oot from last game o season & not a minute later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I hope we have a bit of a clear out too. I have some fears that we’ll reward absolute mediocrity if we manage to finish 8th. We need to trim some of the dead wood from that squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Knew from the line up we weren't on to anything tonight. Not much else to say really. One positive is that Wilson looked pretty assured in goal. Far more convincing than Vajs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 A competent performance. Can’t argue with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clydeside Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) I don't think anyone fancied us with that line up. Maybe we had one eye on Thursday. Arguably a more winnable game. But we got the balance wrong tonight. We kept up with Thistle in work rate terms for a long time but it was predictable that they would eventually score given the ease and persistance with which they were launching balls into our box. They've got plenty big players to attack those deliveries. Until we introduced Cuddihy, we had too few midfielders capable of keeping possession simple and keeping possession full stop. Love was the only player that offered us width and an outball and he looked shattered almost from the off. Goodwillie was barely involved. Kudos to Danny for putting Lang up later on. That at least simplified things when we needed a goal back. If there's a blame game to be played for the first goal, there's a few things you could point to. A wiser defender simply would not have shown Tiffoney goalward or to the line with as much space behind him as Bain had, particularly being a clear second favourite in the leg race. Of course, the twenty-odd passes Thistle strung together on that side in front of Bain tells you something about how effectively we defended there as a unit. And you could just as rightly point to the spaces between defenders as the game went on. We were very easy to open up all in. It was a result both of bad individual defending and a collective failure getting back to player selection and fading fitness. That's how I have to see it. And we soldier on to Thursday...

FREDDYFRY Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I honestly thought it would be worse, at least 3 or 4 with that side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clyde4ever Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 That commentator made the Falkirk guys sound impartial . At least his co-commentator sounded embarrassed , correcting him several times. On the whole I thought we defended well for most of the game (playing our 9th game in 3 weeks ). Apart from the 2 goals they never actually threatened much (but it would obviously have been a bit of a steal if we'd nicked a point). Thursday has always been the main game this week, and I'm pleased Danny rested a few players for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 As one positive, I thought David Wilson had a decent debut in goals. Other than one rush of blood in the second half, he looked pretty assured and couldn’t do much about either of the goals. Looked a fairly dependable pair of hands for a young guy. Well done to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're scraping the barrel with our choice of match commentator, he repeatedly said we were playing Peterhead the other week when we were actually playing Cove. It's a riddy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfielder Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 When the team was announced, I would gladly have excepted a refund for the PPV , which I thought was easily the best I’ve seen this season. Thomson and Robertson in the same midfield, Jack to lightweight up front and McNiff and Bain as fullbacks, there was only ever going to be one result, having said that if only Bain had walked a bit faster for the first goal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seemed solid at centre of defence but out wide, pretty poor at stopping the balls from out wide, bar a few blocks on McKenna by the left back, thistle had the run out wide, esp tiffony on the left. That apart, first time I've seen clyde this season and was impressed with the work rate and press in the middle, 1st half especially. I think the constant balls into the box and coming in from a wide position would eventually lead to a goal. Work rate alone should see you safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know if we can realistically expect them and the new guy Jonathan McFarlane to come up with players that align to the budget next season. We can't judge their performance since they turned up as there has been no reporting structure on their activity. Which players have they been responsible for, coming in this season? I'd hazard a guess at not many. Tom Lang- no The Rangers kids- don't think so The St Mirren kids - doubtful Kev Nicoll- no McGlinchy_ maybe Otoo- no Lloyd Robertson -maybe Still struggling to see the relevance and requirement for a team of 3 in a recruitment department and surely if the Board actually do see this as necessary, shouldn't they be reporting positively and in detail on their progress through their first season? Personally not convinced there's a need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
