My fear for tomorrow is, we'll see Spittal RWB, as he'll see it as an attack overload game and Spittal's deliveries will be effective from there in Kettlewell's eyes. Tbf, I think Spittal at either WB position has been last resort stuff rather than a 4D chess tactical tombola. Assuming Butcher isn't still crippled and Kettlewell's apparent belief that Montgomery and Gent can play in the same team then based on what we apparently have available I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this tomorrow with Halliday coming off the bench given he's only played 29 mins of league football this season and hasn't been on the park for Hearts since 1st November.

That's the XI i suggested to a mate the other day...it's more what I think SK will pick that what I'd like - I'd give obika a start beside bair and play Spittal as 10. I'd only have one of the lwbs starting but I suspect SK's throwaway comment was a hint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Are we allowed to play triallists in the cup? Any chance of the German boy making an appearance as Tony Riallist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, by all accounts he’s been one of the bright spots in a shit season for Clyde. Been talked up quite a few times by CGT on The Terrace lower league pods as someone who could take a step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 With @capt_oats showing Gent in that role. @crazylegsjoe_mfc and I had a bit of a look at this after he apparently played there in a friendly, We surmised that Gent will play there pretty decently against lowly Alloa and we'll persist with this all the remainder of the season where it will clearly not work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Hes re-writing history a bit with us there, which maybe isnt too surprising. Saying he never got a chance to play regularly for us is a half truth, as he started 6 of our first 8 games last season, and one of the ones he missed was with an injury, and done absolutely nothing worth sticking with in any of them. Fair fucks to him for not looking hopeless at Motherwell, and this is more of a general rant than a Bair-centric one, but i never think it bodes well when players start blaming others for their failures when it really themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 15 hours ago, capt_oats said: Is that supposed to be him signing his loan deal? A bit odd when surely it's just worked out between the clubs. There was talk before of English clubs being limited to 5 cross-border loan deals which made me think 'fair enough, Mika potentially prevents a deal for a first team player from Germany or Spain'. But no, this deal shows I was being too kind in giving them the benefit of the doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Bair a Davidson or Grieve signing? My read on it is that, from the outside he seemed to fall into that group of players who Davidson wrote off pretty quickly or didn't really know what to do with when he got them and couldn't be arsed trying to make it work. Were Mahon and Cleary not in the same sort of boat? Whether that was part of that odd pissing contest that seemed to be going on in the background around that time IDK. It kind of feels like the "chance" he's got here is really down to the manager actually having a bit of belief in him (whereas Davidson didn't) and also circumstances falling in his favour a bit given all four of our other strikers have had significant injuries since he's been at the club; Wilkinson (calf), Biereth (knee), Obika (hamstring), Shaw (hamstring). Vaguely related, given the bold Thelonius wasn't exactly I noticed this last night when I was doom scrolling, it's quite a well worn trope and there’s definitely an expectation vs reality issue but it did make me wonder: Edited January 20 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 One of my pals has said he saw some speculation that Oli Shaw may be away or about to leave the club. I guess if he is injured I assume we would be able to cut any loan deal short as happens the other way with Biereth recall. Leave us VERY light up front if true even if he did not make a great impact or any sort of impact. His miss when he was thought on goal in his debut probably sums up his impact. That goes in it may have been different. He did have the assist for late equaliser v Dundee or Ross C if I recall. Hey ho nothing official. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 @capt_oats Mahon and Bair were similar, yeah. Think Mahon playing 90 mins in the 2nd leg of the play off was the only minutes either got between signing in January and the start of the next season. They both played in the League Cup group stages and had shockers, tbf. Mahon refused to accept a bench slot and forced his way out the club, Bair was happier to wait for another chance which never came. Cleary was a regular and only left for personal reasons, he'd probably still be a regular if he'd been able to stay. Bair had chances to stake his claim last season, particularly at the start, but didnt manage to. Im fairly sure he had a sliding doors moment v someone at McDiarmid where he had a fairly simple shot from 16 yards and he managed to balloon it over the stand instead. It why im unconvinced anymore game time wouldve helped his cause, as if youre shite for 18/25 games but okay for 7, youre not "proving youre good enough", youre still a net negative. We've a few still like that on our books tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
