I would probably go for Jordan Allan even though he was only here half the season. Without his goals (QOS on the opening day to seal the win and draws against Dunfermline, Falkirk and Alloa) we'd probably be relegated already. Roberts deserves a wee mention too.
You can tell they were struggling for goal of the season nominees. Cunningham against QOS for me for the team move leading to the goal. His finish against Peterhead from the tight angle was excellent too right enough.

The point is relevant if you take time to think it through.
Whilst their away support is less important, their home attendances are poor and outside the visits of Falkirk and Dunfermline are usually less than 500. So, that begs the question as to why they have been able to field a team which is x points above us with y better goal difference?
Is it quality of management in terms of being able to spot a player?
Is it quality of management in terms of being able to motivate a player?
Is it quality of Board member/staff member in terms of attracting commercial income?
Is it an after-effect of the whole David Goodwillie episode and some players just did not want to come here?
Have we wasted funds that could have been better utilised?
Is it none of the above or all of the above?
The number of people following the team is relevant to their current position and long term viability. It isn't a reason to point fingers, but it is certainly a reason to ask how they are flourishing on such meagre support?
Probably all of the above, we have definitely wasted funds that could have been better utilised. Thicot for a start is supposedly on a ridiculous wage for this level. Not sure if Edinburgh have a financial backer but I don't look at their squad and think there's loads of money getting chucked about. As Ruby says above, it seems a fair chunk of their fans have chucked it after their name change, stadium fiasco etc. Perhaps they budgeted for this season not expecting that and we might see a weaker Edinburgh next season should they supporters continue to stay away.

But really, with all that's going on or not going at the Club, we are discussing the lack of support for a club who have beaten us 3 times this season and sit 27 points above us and have a 40 goal better goal difference than us....but hey....let's slag off their support.
It's madness. I'm sure Berwick too must be very reassured that despite being 2 divisions below Edinburgh, they have a bigger support.

Hanley due to have surgery on an achilles injury so must be highly doubtful for the next round of matches.
Ruptured so will be out for several months. I watched the game on Friday and he went down with nobody near him. Looked a very bad one.

I'm the away team. This game finished 1-1.

Clyde have withdrawn from this. About 3 years too late

I've just had a look at the table for the owners' MotM points for the season so far.
Three of the top four no longer play for Clyde.
Rico Quitongo has more points after two appearances than Euan Cameron after eighteen.
Just had a look myself and as poor as Euan Cameron is at this level, he has provided the most assists by a fair distance.

Wasn't there but watched highlights and from them we definitely looked unlucky not to take the 3 points. Still though, a good point which, with GD, effectively puts us 5 ahead of Peterhead which should be enough now to avoid automatic relegation.
I think whoever put that crowd up as 1,025 was using the Seville calculator.

I've walked back to the city from Hampden when kick-off has been at a decent time. But for evening games I'd be in danger of missing my last bus hame.
In European cities they would have extended a matchdays-only branch from Mount Florida Station to the stadium or extended the Subway to actually go somewhere (like Hampden).
Do you still stay in Kirky? You can get a bus right up till midnight from the bus station.

The last match between the sides at "home" was an excellent game but that was when Duffy was just in the door, we had got a good result at Dunfermline the previous week to build confidence and of course we had a goal scorer at the time too.
Can't see anything like that tomorrow. Comfortable away win

Could potentially have Haaland and/or the Napoli boy in the Champions League final too which isn't till June 10th.

Have we played four at the back with Robertson instead of Tierney in recent times? I know in the last triple header, Tierney played against Ukraine and was subbed off against Ireland. I'd be curious to see how we'd get on as, much as Tierney has been a great player for us, he might not often be available if he moves clubs.
This part's not quite answering your question but we played a back 4 away to Armenia last June with Taylor at LB.
Think it was Oct 2020 Tierney was unavailable but we still had the back 3 with McTominay, Gallagher and Cooper/Considine.
Probably talking round about the time Clarke first took over where we've played a back 4 with Robertson at LB. I definitely remember it was that in his first game against Cyprus and maybe 2 or 3 more games after that.

Just struck by the difference between us v Aidrie and the corresponding fixture last year.
In 22 we were hammered by a silky Airdrie on a typically freezing Broadwood night, however even that shitey Clyde squad fought to the end and we stole a 2 2 draw with Tade making the scoresheet.
I thought it was Jones and Mortimer (2 other jobbers) that scored in that game. Jordan Allan scored for Airdrie too I think

I wish I shared others confidence that we'd get through a 2 legged play off against potentially Dumbarton or Stirling. Dumbarton have already beat us comfortably in the Scottish Cup this season.
FWIW I wouldn't be surprised if we finish bottom. Can't see us taking a single point from our remaining 6 games which includes a trip to Peterhead. We're 3 points clear of them just now with a much better goal difference so it would require Peterhead picking up points from one of their other fixtures too. Going to come down to very fine margins I feel.
I think the top 4 will probably stay the way it currently is.

I was in South Upper and while it wasn't that loud I could definitely hear some booing from the other side. On the other hand I think I was the only person in the stadium to cheer when Dom Hyam's name got read out

Nah it happened and isn't the first time with Jack either. Some people at Hampden need to grow the f**k up.
I met an Aberdeen fan in the boozer last night and he just couldn't accept the fact that Ryan Jack is a good player. Just a seething mess of an individual. He would've definitely been booing.

Thought the game was pretty flat but job done at the end of the day. Porteous bar his daft yellow and Hanley were good, which will annoy all the dafties on twitter who've never watched football in their life questioning why they're (in particular Hanley) in the team.
I was surprised Jack started (another one that frothed the mouths on twitter) but he done okay and I don't understand some of the criticism he gets. Never really let us down. The subs did happen at the right time though. Thought it was actually one of McGinns quieter games for Scotland but he still pops up with a goal.
I suspect Gunn will be busier on Tuesday. Can only remember his wee slip and recovery then 2 saves from shots straight at him. They were absolutely stinking to be honest, the way they crowded the ref in the first half wanting a red for the foul Armstrong got booked for about 80 yards from their goal was embarrassing.
PS this is a long shot but if anyone sitting in South Upper at the East corner happened to find a bracelet it's probably mine.

I'd like him pressed on that as Ive heard it a couple of times. What is a competitive budget? Is it simply competitive against ourselves?
You can immediately rule out the idea that it's competitive relative to Dunfermline, Falkirk, QotS.
Alloa, Airdrie (mostly FT), Montrose, Kelty all larger; historically and also indicated by squad quality and/or depth.
Edinburgh no idea but again their signings suggest a bit of cash there.
Can't disagree that we made poor signings and that Lennon is to blame for that but in our current state, we are never going to be anything other than a bottom 2/3 team in this division.
Don't know what the budget was but have heard from a few different sources about the salary some individuals are on and like you say about Lennon, it could've been far, far better used.

One of our 3 wins came against them but there's absolutely no chance we're better than Kelty
Majority of their squad walk into our team.

Hendry out is a huge blow, that excellent partnership from the first two games of our last triple header now completely gone.
I can see a return to a back 3 in these games if I'm honest both because Robertson's back available and we don't have a great choice of centre halves to play a natural 2.
I'm a Blackburn fan and Hyam has been a superb signing. Very consistent performer and has played RCB & CCB in a 3 at times and both sides of CB in a 2 so can slot in in a few areas whatever formation we decide to play if called upon.

I expect it to be Caicedo at RB.
