David W Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Think people are having a laugh if they think either of those sides are in any danger of getting to the playoffs. We were really poor, constantly lumping the ball up to the stranded Parker; I'm struggling to remember us creating a chance bar the goal which was a goalie error. East Fife played some decent football then nearly always ended it with a punt up to their striker who missed an early chance gifted to him by Fisher, then proceeded to do nothing except fall over. After a strong start for the home side which required a couple of decent saves by Martin, it had 0-0 written over it but just like most games at this level a mistake led to the first goal, with their 'keeper flying crazily out of his goal to try and cut out a cross which McQueen just nodded into the empty net. They didn't look like getting an equaliser but Durie made a ridiculous tackle and from the free kick, Naysmith picked out Mullen who was totally unmarked at the edge of the box. He produced a terrific shot into the top corner but it was inexcusable that we had 11 players piled in the box and not one picking him up. A draw was probably fair but we'll be more annoyed not to win given the lateness of the goal. We'd have been happy with 7 out of 9 from three away games; need 5 or 6 at least from the run of home games now. Martin, Marsh both played well. Fisher was poor, and the fullbacks have both played better. Midfield, as has been the case for a number of years, was too slow to spread the play to the wingers meaning they hardly ever had a one-on-one with their fullback. Parker struggled and messed up our main opportunity to double the score by trying to beat a defender a couple of times. Slane was a massive improvement on McDougall and McQueen caused their centre halves problems. At least we're competitive in games now though and that should see us get enough points to stay up. Referee was alright but no idea how he missed Naysmith's two-foot lunge on Ferguson. A clear red card and not even a free kick was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer67 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 In all honesty a draw was the least we deserved from the game on the balance of play. Only a horrendous goalkeeping error from Fleming gifted Clyde their only chance all game. If only Gary Naysmith had the balls to be more attacking minded we would could have won that game, as I thought Clydes two central defenders were as poor as I have seen in senior football. Only Naysmith can answer why he played so many midfield players and one striker. On that showing I cant see either of these teams making a run for the play offs. Two home games coming up this week against East Stirling and Annan, must wins to get in the mix for the top 4, but with our pathetic home form and Naysmiths negative tactics I wouldn't bet on 2 home wins. We look solid at the back but we need Kevin Smith back to lead the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeLad Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 A draw was a fair result, dissapointing to lose a daft goal from a retake freekick, was talkin to Barry before the game and he said he's still lookin to bring in another 5 players...

Scotland-Roma Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Surly that's some sort off scare tactic for the players that are already at the club! That would take clyde upto 43 players in one season!! Surly not, if true but what a slap in the face for boys who are there!! That could cause a problem!

It's scare tactics now, is it!!! Yes. In between all those Daily Record columns, charity matches and the small matter of managing the team, he has time to waste energy on threats by (whisper it) talking about signing some players. I'm really glad this has come to light, as i'm furious. Nothing beat a four-and-a-half hour round trip, for a home match, than the same diddies making the same mistake every fucking week, under the good auld former gaffer who swept it all under the carpet, just to get up the road quickly, and f**k the idiots in the crowd shouting and singing, its only League Two and Clyde, why are they so bothered?? and was clearly on the right track in treating the job as a hobby, the way the 'supporters' he likes do. We'd have the league won by now if only we didn't sack him. Now we've got a diddy like Ferguson who thinks he's some sort of Harry Redknapp 'wheeler dealer', working until 23.59 on deadline days, what a roaster. Has he no life?? Three training sessions a week?? Surely not, no need for that here. We're Clyde, happy to be rubbish as long as we're best at it. IBWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBWT.with all due respect it is difficult to understand what some of your posts mean but are you suggesting it's a great idea to continually sign new players to replace players that have only recently been signed? That doesn't seem like positive evidence of a great manager to be honest. still if he can get another 5 players in with the lowest budget in scottish football then he must have some decent negotiating skills. Not a terrible result yesterday but annoying how late they equalised. Just a pain in the arse that the other teams at the bottom have started winning too. Pretty confident we won't finish bottom though. ETA - bloody mobile seems to have messed up the quote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawfieldAggro Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm suggesting that its no bad thing for a manager to realise his mistakes and seek to correct them. Or, more importantly, add where he feels he can when players are available. And spends time looking for both. Not sit on his hands, fobbing everyone off with bullshit. He's put his balls on the line at every opportunity since he came here. Results or otherwise, that deserves respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but that first 11 he put out yesterday were almost entirely his signings and in his own words it was "the poorest game" he'd seen "in a long time". At some stage you need to work with what you've got and find a way to make it work - not look at continually replacing the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clyde Man Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 OK, how can I put this? Getting myself built up when we have some decent form only to be deflated when the team plays like yesterday's offer. Don't see that keeping bringing in players who don't match up to what we need helps. Guys who are not getting into the team must be perplexed that the manager feels their not good enough to get a game. How long can this go on? However being a dyed-in-the-wool Clydeman I will keep hoping that he will eventually get it right. I hate being in this dump of a league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referee was alright but no idea how he missed Naysmith's two-foot lunge on Ferguson. A clear red card and not even a free kick was given. Think marko missing was key, as we looked very nervous defensively, early doors with Fischer in particular very nervy looking. That kinda put us on the backfoot and East Fife should have been ahead at the break purely on balance of play. 2nd half I'd say was more even with neither team providing much quality. Substitutions again were positive and changed game in our favour. Needless challenge by Durie and a wonder strike from Mullen although you shouldn't really get a 2nd chance if you make an arse of it. Marsh started winning headers in the 2nd half, but was terrible at some corners allowing who he was marking to get in front on more than one occasion. Terrific point considering the performance but that starting 11 will not start against Montrose with O'donnell and Macdougall poor especially. Scott Ferguson should only start next week if he has new boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's put his balls on the line at every opportunity since he came here. Results or otherwise, that deserves respect. He certainly didnt put his balls on the line after the 8-1 humping at ibrox, which came about from playing 433 the full game. That was the players fault, remember. Slightly worrying that after every poor performance the answer seems to be sign more players. We could try coaching and developing the ones we already have. . . Before anyone throws their toys out the pram, this is not a criticism of the time/effort the manager puts in - he does clearly want to be successful. I remain to be convinced if he has the coaching ability to make that happen. The players he has brought in look decent enough to keep us up and should be given a consistent run to gel as a team. Support from the manager and no threats of signing 5 more guys to replace them would probably help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
