maxruby Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Doing my neck strengthening exercises prior to my trip up on Saturday. Making sure I won't be straining too much as I follow the ball into the stratosphere. Then again, maybe the team will follow instructions and pass to each other.

Clyde01 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Think we would stand a better chance without a midfield. They don’t protect the defence or get much of the ball anyway. Play 5 at the back hoofing it up to 5 up front. At least then Goodwillie won’t be isolated. The 505 formation, you heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 If there is one guarantee we can fall back on, it's that we'll beat Elgin at home. Elgin's guys in midfield will pass the ball around us regardless (that's not a criticism of our midfielders as such) so hopefully we'll play with some energy out wide (two from Fergie, Lamont and Lowden) and someone close to Goodwillie (Gormley if fit, Wright otherwise). Nicoll, Osolador (after his disgraceful performance last week) and Breslin in the stand hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet he puts in munro probably drops smarticus so you got one berth to fill in midfield cause for sure he is going with one upDon't see why he will drop pumping the ball up the park at every opportunity, even although he apparently tells them too do so Elgin are in good form don't see us winning anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Always feel that Clyde are a bogey team for us, however we are the form team t the moment. We beat them earlier this season to end our not winning at home streak, so I'll go for 2-0 Elgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright as well if Gormley not fit. Not bothered if Munro comes back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Unless we have drastic improvement and change in so called tactics / style of play then straight forward win for Elgin, honestly we are that bad. If, and don't think Chapman will change, Munro comes in for McNiff, Gormley (we are that desperate) for Osolodor and plays up front with Goodwillie then we might have a chance. Of course bringing in a fence post or railway sleeper in place of Nicol will also improve our "midfield drastically! 3-1 Elgin, routine win for the visitors as usual ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanMck Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 When we lose on Saturday as well as presuming Berwick beat Cowden and Montrose beat Edinburgh (both at home), there will be a massive gap already separating the bottom 3 from the rest. Which will be hugely depressing to look at ! So with this said this really is a huge game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enclosureview Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I wish I was as optimistic for an Elgin win and you Clyde fans are pessimistic. Do not remember the last time we won at Clyde but hopefully Elgin feel good after beating you at home has kick started our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's six of the dwarfs for this year's Clyde panto. How about "Outraged" to complete the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
