Forfar v Clyde

[Adolfo Rios]

Really? why?  Are they not down already?  And Goodie struggling to run.

My maths failed me...they are down.

[FifeSons]

You owe us for beating East Fife on the last day of the 1999/2000 season, Forfar.

They arent.  If they win tonight they need to win their last two, and clyde to lose their last two.

Also need to make up 4 goals for goal difference.

Unlikely though.

Why is there never any imagination to our subs. Just like for like all the time, so frustrating.

Like every performance from us it has the feel of a preseason friendly.

Two awful teams.

I genuinely feel left out. 3 awful teams please...

We started the first half well enough. We were first to a lot more than Forfar were, maybe levering the advantage of having a few more days rest. Decent enough goal to open things but against poor opposition it must be said.

As for Forfar's goal, deary me. Timid, sluggish defending from Rumsby. And the goalkeeper could've done better.

Looking at the starting eleven, the midfield struck me as being awfully conservative. In Nicoll, Thomson and McGlinchey you've got three players whose natural inclination is to take it from deep, get turned and stay behind play. Perhaps surprisingly, Nicoll ended up being the one from the three who ended up bringing the ball out of midfield. And he set up the goal as I remember.

Bringing Cuddihy into the centre is a positive step for the second-half, he at least moves it on quickly and looks for a forward pass more often than not. But it does nothing for us being paceless in almost every area of the pitch. Jamieson was the difference up here last time, remember. And it was his speed that got him his goals.

I'd probably move Otoo upfield and stick McNiff at left-back because we need to win this. I'd think about having Butterworth on for Love or Cunningham too.

Butterworth, not Lamont.

[Replays]

I have just had a power cut and it has improved my viewing pleasure immensely.

[Guest bernardblack]

I’ve caved and stuck this on...so stick your life savings on Clyde 

[bullyweehutch]

This is genuinely depressing. Up there with the stuart Miller experience

[Replays]

Nicol doing his usual and kicking someone when frustrated.

[SLClyde]

Nicol is a complete liability with his tackling, amazing how he’s got to his age and not learned to improve that side of his game.

Might as well try Michael Anderson, something different 

[Jaggy Snake]

Even if we somehow find a goal, we are so bad we really deserve to be relegated.

[David W]

Has Cunningham ever played well stuck out on the right side? He needs to be playing far closer to Goodwillie when he starts. Or a sub.

Now Nicoll's giving the ball away and booting people. 

It's been obvious since October but we're in massive trouble here.

[Replays]

Does anybody want to try and shoot, naw?

[Guest bernardblack]

I realise we are down. But you’d think whilst there is a 0.0000000001% chance of making the playoff we’d maybe have a go....

But no, launch it to the moon...give away the ball....repeat 

[David W]

We're now rocking a midfield quartet of McNiff, Butterworth, Nicoll and Cuddihy. Fortunately, I've never seen anything like that before.

[Jupiter Jazz]

It looks like we've went 4-5-1 Fenwick is so deep, really strange. We should be throwing bodies forward. There appears a complete lack of awareness of the situation we're in.

Red card says it all
