Smokie_Bacon_crisps Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Nice Highlight package up on the Clyde Website - http://www.clydefc.co.uk/media/video/ I don't think Robbie deserve the stick he is getting. The first he had 3 players in his way, the other 2 were defensive errors, plus he pulled off some other cracking saves. We almost snuck a draw with the last kick of the ball too, Gold wasn't far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We almost snuck a draw with the last kick of the ball too, Gold wasn't far away. I think he should be saving the first one, similar to Henderson's goal for Stirling a few weeks ago. The second goal he gets caught in no mans land and would've saved it had he stayed on his line. The third is a decent strike but again I think a decent keeper would be saving that. I can remember him making one decent save, but any other time he parried it straight out in to dangerous areas. Happened at least twice in the first half.

Smokerson Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Think we were a tad unlucky not to take something from the game on the balance of play, scored two really well constructed goals but gave away cheap goals. The first one was a clear goalkeeping error yet again, 2nd the guy has out jumped 2 or 3 defenders and the 3rd is just laughable. A great finish but we should be dealing with a long punt up the park like that a lot better. Would be tempted to just stick with that back four for a few games and see if they can get some consistency instead of chopping and changing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type "research injuries on plastic pitches versus grass" then check the top four links. I got fed up after that but am sure you can keeping till you get one that agrees either your opinion.

Why aren't the world's best players allowed to play on plastic? Oh there is such a thing as a " classic plastic pitch twisting " injury! Well I never. Not that Forfar have a plastic bag pitch eh? No there isn't, it's a myth hence the brackets. Tends to be perpetuated by people that either don't believe current scientific research or can't be bothered actually looking properly. Actually it turns out that it's Nike boots that cause the problems, here's the link to the proof (if you want to propagate more bollocks). http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3274555/Six-Premier-League-stars-ruled-cruciate-injuries-wore-Nike-boots-experts-claim-unhappy-coincidence.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relichtie Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 That third goal for Clyde was ludicrous. Big punt one bounce and shot into the net. We must defend better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson had nothing to do yesterday, Mutch was by far the busier keeper - yet I can say that it's the first game this season the possession was more even. Totally deserving winners though.

jagr68 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Maybe because both of our goals were well-worked and the ones we conceded we could've defended better? Yeah and looking at the highlights the Clyde player Flynn played a great one two with ur guys to set up the goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Both sides scored one good goal and we also got a set piece, which despite frustrating everyone is something that will happen no matter how much you practice. Linn's goal is caused by Flynn giving the ball away with a poor touch, followed by a lucky deflection and a weak challenge. In no way is it well worked apart from the finish. Mon da Clyde is correct. Every goal your team scores is a cracker (except against Cowden), everyone you concede is bad defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every goal your team scores is a cracker (except against Cowden), everyone you concede is bad defending. I thought the first arbroath goal was really well worked the ball did spin right into the boys path the second yes you could find fault but linn is a great player at this level Thought the football in the first half from both teams was good to watchSee fans on here saying Easton is frustrating doesn't release the ball well if you don't enjoy having a player of that quality at the club then it's time we all packed it in maybe they would rather have Stuart Kettlewell in midfield . Easton is worth the admission fee alone Think Johnston is a really good addition great at driving forward Flynn is making some smashing runs ahead of the strikers and will score a good few for us The defence does look a bit shakey but we are a very forward thinking team and most of our problems are teams hitting us on the break Gibson better second half but you can see our defenders don't know if he is coming for a ball or not Still think we need an organiser at the back hopefully Perry can come in and firm up the defence All in all the football is the best in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Now is the opportunity for Flynn to show what he is capable of. I do think that Easton "cramps his style". Not that I'm complaining about Easton. He's a joy to watch.Gibson needs to be more vocal as often the defenders are unsure of what action to take. I think he also needs to come and take the pressure off defenders when they're chasing the ball over the top. He often stays on his line rather than coming to collect.In saying that, I don't think I've seen any impressive goalkeepers this season from any team. Perhaps we were spoiled by Aldo Martin and this is the real standard of goalkeeper in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
