shawfield shed boy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Im more worried about Lowden's injury. Big loss going foward. Presume linton would drop back into his natural position. This season was always going to be risky with size of squad but losing lowden so early in season right bad luck and makes any other injury or suspension unthinkable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'd be interested in others opinion of what's wrong with our defending?Is it personnel, the way we set up, a combination of both or maybe something else?I think the centre halves are a problem as well as the full backs being very offensive. Maybe leaking goals is a price worth paying for an attacking, entertaining team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe leaking goals is a price worth paying for an attacking, entertaining team. IMO that's symptomatic of a problem across the game, the art of defending disappearing over the past 20 years Take Graham's Arsenal. A well drilled back 4 with a dominant centre half, the other 3 taking their lead from him. All 4 were there to defend Result of that being they'd no need for a holding midfielder, or even two. A holding midfielder is an admission you don't trust your defence. That must be due to poor coaching over that time, but the result is where managers feel they have to sacrifice a creative midfielder, they try to compensate by creating these wingback positions. So one problem creates another, more crosses come into the box being dealt with by weak centre halfs The young lad Lowdon said in his recent interview his main game was getting forward. So it's not necessarily just a problem for Clyde, but where the manager is clearly adopting a principle of wingback instead of fullbacks, you have to be rock solid in the middle. Probably a 3 instead of 2 and definitely with a commanding figure in there to organise So in our case with the personnel we have and the system he wants to play, he'll either have to put in a lot of work in training and hope someone steps up to be "the man" , or he'll need to get someone in Needing to score 4 at home to guarantee a win, especially in this league, isn't a great sign though he's acknowledged that. Goals don't necessarily equate to entertaining, there'll be 20 - 18 happenin in your local park with the jackets down! But he's got some thinking to do HD, that's pretty clear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we were a bit better when smith went into the middle. Also thought Cowdenbeath were throwing bodies forward from midfield most of the first half and we weren't always tracking back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfcuk Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Seriously you do wonder what the home strip sponsor thinks of 4 weeks into the season and still no sight of the new home strip doesn't look good for future sponsorship deals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
