He obviously thinks there is a player in there or he wouldn't bother. It kind of reminds me of Mourinho wishing he had a controller for Luke Shaw. There 100% is a ‘player’ in there but broonie is no mug and will not accept shit. Hiya McGeady. Amartey either toes the line and performs or does not get a sniff. It’ll be a shame for us and Amartey if he doesn’t do what’s needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molitknov? Or something along those lines - sure he’s not much older than Whittaker! Edited February 20 by No_Problemo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit early for chat like that, he's been in the door a month. Bullen was a - run hard, try hard coach. You need a coach that can get the best out a player rather than just a lot of effort. On Saturday, he looked lost. If Brown is trying to change his natural game to fit in to his style of play rather than the other way round, he'd be as well not playing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s already dropped our “number one” goalie, Chalmers and not started McGeady. I’d say he’s made a good start to not making to not taking shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he be as well not playing him… Players need to adapt to certain roles and fit into the structure of the team. Under Bullen everything just seemed to be go and do what you want, whereas we hopefully have a proper manager now. Every single player will be doing this, and it’ll be harder for some than others dependent on level of experience etc etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albinson was dropped, Mutch came in and he was pish and Albinson came back in and he was shite, Mutch came back in and got injured and Albinson came back in. He dropped Chalmers, who behind Murphy is probably top in goal involvements, He brought him on and he set up a goal. McGeady has played about the same, maybe less than he did under Bullen when fit. I'm not sure its the best argument to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they were maybe turning things around after a good win at the weekend. Would be sad to see Clyde go, remember my Dad telling me they were decent back in the day, anytime we drove by Shawfield greyhound track and the old stadium wall was still there. The play off game may save them though, but aye they're finishing bottom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any team that's been relegated have even been close to getting back to the league. Would like to see one of the WOSFL teams get there but it's never going to happen. Lowland and highland league is where they've all came up from iirc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryden was an empty jersey on Saturday, he played well out there in a short spell against Queens Park, It doesn't make him a left winger though. If it works, then fine, shift them both on in the summer and sign players to play the way you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's had anywhere near the money he thought he would to rebuild. Still a chance to get more players in to help turn things around but it seems to be a club that has been rotten to the core on and off the park for a while now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough from that point of view, obviously you would want players to continue to do things they are good at in the right moments while contributing to the overall set up of the team. I would like to think there will be space for the likes of Chalmers and Amartey to do that within a structure. I’m definitely hoping the Bryden over Chalmers thing was a one week only type of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer them than chicken man’s EK side anyway. Aye Brechin seem far and away the most capable of returning, as you say they've come very close last season. When you look at the teams that have dropped out, it's usually been the ones with the smallest crowds. East Stirlingshire, Berwick, Cowdenbeath, Albion. Those clubs I can see eventually drifting towards the bottom end of the Lowland League (or even into the West and East leagues) as some of the bigger ex junior clubs make their way up. Visited Bonnyrigg as a neutral for a game last year, was great. They feel like the first proper football club to make it up. eta. Would be quite funny to see Clyde drop out.
