ClydeFCTheBullyWee Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Didn’t realise Morton had fans in until they scored. Shocking defending right enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigGuy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Was Danny taking the piss when he talked about getting all his pre season targets this summer? Mystified by certain elements of team selection again today. Not impressed! Edited July 24, 2021 by TheBigGuy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 For all the chat about learning lessons from last season, we look just as soft. The manner of the goals we're conceding is very concerning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I don’t think we’ve learned an awful lot from today so far. We really could do with another right back (amongst other gripes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydeFCTheBullyWee Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Problem is the longer we wait the fewer options we have to bring people in. Looking more than likely that we’re gna be in the loan market a fair bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny much see he’s nowhere near this levelIndeed, it was just an absolutely mental signing. He's not even that young and had played a maximum of about ten senior games as a right back before, having been essentially shunted there out of desperation because he offered so little further up the park. It's the kind of addition that - at best - you'd be looking to make late in a window out of sheer panic after failing to get other targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we get £21000 for finishing last and would have got £47000 for losing in the next round. In addition to gate money obviously. If we had finished second it would have been £28000. I'd be surprised if anyone thinks we've finished in a false position in this group, albeit a group that's been badly affected by 3-0 wins for EK/Stranraer. Stole a couple of points off Stranraer, contributed nothing in the games v Killie/Morton bar some hard work. There's maybe an argument that we should have got the better of EK but there's not much in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear lord, I thought there'd have been 15k in it tops but that is stark. ~£30k of a difference is two new players on decent money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Our only hope is that league cup has opened Danny's eyes to how bad the defence is.We were poor there last season but Lang and Howie are much better than any of the centre halves we currently have. We got away with it last year due to being able to to rely on Goodwillie scoring so many. This season it looks like Lennon is determined to nullify Goodwillie to bring Rob Jones into the team, it's fucking mental.The midfield does look potentially better than anything we had last season but it won't matter with that defence and not playing Goodwillie up top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfield does look potentially better than anything we had last season but it won't matter with that defence and not playing Goodwillie up top. I said a few weeks back that having a plan B was an admission that your plan A wasn't good enough. I can't believe I spent ten minutes today watching Goodwillie play as a left winger. Regardless of quality, there's absolutely no joined up thinking in that squad at all. Three centre halves (I think Balatoni is decent) who need full-backs to protect them round the outside, yet we don't have a full-back that can defend. Sometimes we are a team who tries to play out from the back, but that breaks down when Rumsby gets on the ball, or we bring a Nicoll, Jones or even Ally Love into the team. So we go long, which doesn't suit Gomis, Goodwillie, Cunningham and others. I have no idea which camp Andrew/McGrath are supposed to fit into, yet as things stand, they'll be involved semi-regularly. I must admit, I was slightly terrified to hear that Balatoni himself contacted Danny Lennon about signing. Given that we lost three centre halves and there was uncertainty around Rumsby, had we made any plans to sign centre halves this summer outside those relegated from the SPFL? We know that DL has had a shocking time in the transfer market; big questions need asked why there's been no improvement with the employment of this new recruitment team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 What really irritates me is that in last 3 seasons the issues with the side are blindingly obvious and the fix is also obvious and indeed I’d argue pretty straightforward. If we needed a goal scorer then fair enough, they are like gold dust but we don’t, far from it we have a guy who normally start as first choice in 90% or the teams I the country! But a capable lower league defender? There are tons of them!! Got my season ticket again as usual but zero enthusiasm for this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
