CLYDE FC season 16/17 Thread


Recommended Posts

Delighted with the renewals announced tonight. Smith and McGovern for obvious reasons.

Having not liked him much previously, I thought Scott McLaughlin was one of our best players over the last 2-3 months of the season. He'll hopefully benefit from having Flynn in front of him, and more width.

Watson's movement is much better than any of our other strikers and will be a good option. Not sure he'll be much of a goalscorer either though but, that's maybe an unfair comment when he hasn't had a run of starts.

There's no way we'll run with 5 strikers. I think we need one more, personally, and he needs to be better than those we've currently got (hiya John, hiya pal).

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Millen is reviewing his options first before committing if nothing significantly better crops up, but he'd be a big loss. A midfield trio of McGovern, Flynn and Millen would coast through most games in this division. No complaints about Scott McLaughlin staying, but I think we'd need a bit more than he offers from a starting viewpoint. Smith staying is a big bonus and hopefully he can maintain his consistency from this season, while Watson is a good option to have and will hopefully kick on a bit during the coming campaign. We've known that JP was remaining at the club since the fan consultation meetings, but it's still good to have him confirmed. Hopefully he can also continue his good form from this season, and his age doesn't start to catch up with him.

 

I suspect the confirmation of JP and not Marko means that the big man's retiring, which is disappointing but not entirely unexpected. I'd imagine we'll still have him registered as a player, in any case. Disappointing that a true Clyde legend couldn't bow out with a promotion.

 

Edit: Barry's saying in the article on the website that Marko's on holiday at the moment, so that last paragraph could well prove to be a load of guff.

All season most were saying midfield lacked pace apart from Flynn it's the exact same as last season well can look forward to Mclaughlin slowing everything down again next season

Enjoy
