the_bully_wee Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I can see why McCall started Cuddihy as the deepest midfielder, as he picked up some nice positions and got on the ball quite a lot in the first half, but the game completely bypassed Hynes ahead of him and we had so little creativity that it was unreal. Ray Grant did some good things in his time on the pitch - I hope he'll be fit enough for a start soon, and that he can get anywhere close to the player he was before his injury; that would be really big for us. I'm scratching my head about how we'll line up next week - you'd assume that Hamilton will slot in at centre back somewhere, but Howie could end up shunted out to right (wing) back or into midfield, while Leitch played more for Edinburgh as an advanced central midfielder despite his career until this season consisting of appearances as a winger or number 10. Aside from such matters, hopefully we get a post-match interview from McCall in which he announces, with great fervour, the names of all those being released. That would be a nice tonic after the absolute guff we had to endure this afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall saying in the above that he's hopeful of 8-10 total January recruits is nice, on today's evidence that's not overkill by any means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder we are fucked. I posted somewhere on here that, outside of the early years where we didn't play as many games, our worst ever was 5 (which we managed last season, not for the first time). Well done to Jim Duffy and the people who appointed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Forbes was ridiculously unfit. Also meant to be some sort of set piece specialist and I don’t think he ever hit the target or found a Clyde player with one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Happy with that. That’s five out so far. Hopefully, several more join them out the door and several more come in the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 In fairness, we can’t bin too many until we actually have guys in. As rubbish as they may be, we do need enough bodies to actually field a team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeStonehouse Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 What the f**k did Duffy & McLean see in boys like Kyan Gunn, Dylan Duncan & Fraser Malcolm? It’s saying something but this seasons recruitment has been the worst in my life time. criminally poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I'm glad we're emptying jobbers. Hope to see some more decent signings in before the Bonnyrig game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Best of luck to those emptied, all tried (even Forbes, though his cement mixer level of mobility belied that at times) and it's not their fault that someone deemed them good enough to be at the club. A relief nevertheless, hopefully the other unfancied boys can be shifted soon too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that line saved up for when it was confirmed he was away. As much as he tried, he was patently unfit (despite what his family thought at the start of the season...!) and was too much of a passenger given the position we are in. So far, everything that was put out there by Allan Maitland has come to pass - three really good signings, the cutting adrift of the dead weights (although I feel sorry a little bit for Kyan Gunn, who was subjected to some ridiculous abuse when he wasn't even playing following the 4-0 loss to East Fife, leading to Ray Grant having to step in). Don't think anyone could have complained about who has gone so far, now be interesting to see who else has been lined up and who we can persuade to come on board. Happy New Year to y'all, let us all hope 2024 is more fruitful from a Clyde supporting perspective, don't think any of us could take another 2023... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Surely a bit difficult finding 8 or 10 players at this time of the season, where are they coming from, paying cash for transfers, loans or players that other teams dont want as somebody mentioned replacements needed before casting guys adrift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have three, so that’d only be another seven needed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
