SLClyde Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think Rennie could get double figures in league 2 and would be worth keeping. Also don’t want to be looking for a full front line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullyweeno1 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 To any QoS fans asking about Docherty, usually at this level of the game when a player moves for a fee there is disgruntlement amongst fans Think this is the first time I have ever see a player move for a fee and there is 100% support for the player leaving the building I wholeheartedly agree with everyone else’s opinion Unbelievable that anyone would want to pay a fee for him. Wouldnt have him back if you paid us to take him back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'd be happier seeing the back of Rennie than Doherty, to be honest. If McLean is being serious about a high-energy team built around conditioning then he is completely incompatible with that, based on his performances from February onwards. It obviously leaves us with even more recruitment to do, but any honest grafter with some physicality about them will be of more use to us than a guy who jogs around and occasionally gets himself on the end of things between the sticks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Doherty and Rennie are similar in that regard. The only difference for me is Rennie showed flashes of ability and chipped in with a few goals. Not great, though, I wouldn’t be too gutted if he left, either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullyweeno1 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Was speaking to a relative of Rennie last week He didn’t give any indication that he was moving on but did say that he hasn’t been fully fit since joined the club and thinks a full preseason will do him good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Imo Docherty was lots of effort but little instinct. Where as Rennie has decent instincts but no effort. Very surprised we’ve got cash for him, who are we to doubt the Duffsters transfer strategy, after giving him an 18 month contract was widely slated.

If it really was fitness then fingers crossed we might have a decent goal threat. That said, as Stonehouse said before (iirc) he gets into good poacher positions but we still need the service line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a big fan of Martin Rennie and had he been fit would still have had him at Montrose, really hope he can get a good pre season and have a good run at it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 So Clyde not only signed a player who hasn't been fully fit for a couple of years, we also gave him an eighteen month contract to boot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Carrigan Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The 18 month contracts were obviously given out because it was known we’d likely get relegated and it gives us a tiny bit of protection against losing every player for free. As @The Moonster previously said, the fee was likely peanuts (did someone here mention that the fee for Allan was £7k?) but at least it’s *something*. If it was £3k - that’s £3k more than we had in the coffers. Its not a Duffy master stroke, it’s just a normal thing that makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Listened to the owners meeting last night and noticed them say we have 6 coming on trial when pre season starts on Saturday. McLean has been at the exit trials so every chance at least a few are from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast_Action Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 On 12/06/2023 at 12:46, Brian Carrigan said: Terrible. I am honestly equal parts flabbergasted and delighted by this one. The drop off in quality between Jordan Allan and Doherty was stark. Jordan Allan wasn't even that good, he just 'done stuff'. Admittedly Doherty didn't look fit for a second during his time at Clyde, but I don't know if that's because of an injury or because his style of play is laboured. Some fans on here liked him because he seemed 'up for it' but even that was a stretch. I certainly don't think he can play up front on his own. He can't run, so you need bodies close to him. He also can't turn, which means he was garbage with his back to goal and I don't think I seen him win one header. I am nervous though. I suspect whatever meagre fee we received from him will be swallowed up elsewhere. Just like the Allan money, I doubt there will be an increase in the quality of new player. There's not much overlap in the venn diagram of good strikers and free strikers so signing someone up at this point will be tough. The difference between Jordan Allan and a lot of the strikers that have passed through our sorry wee club of late is work ethic. JA would never win anything in the air, but play the ball to his feet, and he would work hard to try to achieve an end product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
