SLClyde Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Kennedy would get even more found out as a pish manager when he can’t sign players outwith the transfer window when things aren’t going so well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR96 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Before it came apparent that our new squad routinely shite the bed in big games, I was thinking I’d much rather play EK than the winner of the Highland League but it doesn’t really matter as both will swat us aside with relative ease. Our ability to bounce back from relegation will largely depend on if this mysterious benefactor hangs around, but I’m pretty sure we were told he wouldn’t. If he does then having EK out the way would probably work in our favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde_1977 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 if EK go up do you think they will let us ground share when we get evicted from NDP for rent arrears? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was evident before the Clyde v Forfar Athletic game the game the other night. So many fans thought that Clyde were on some kind of roll, despite having only won one game in about ten.

Absolutely agree with your first point re: getting it right up the MK/SF circus. As for your second point, were the relegation playoff tomorrow or next week I would also agree. However, there are more than enough games for McCall to get what I think we all agree is a half decent squad of players actually playing well together and instilling in them a bit of self belief. Relegation is far from the foregone conclusion everyone seems to think it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation is far from the foregone conclusion everyone seems to think it is. Good on you, I was wondering if there were any Clyde fans who weren’t a bunch of doom mongering surrender monkeys. If you are to finish bottom, hopefully the Clyde fans get behind the team towards the play offs. I’ve said for a while now that I think East Kilbride will be in League 2 next season, but you just never know in a 2 match play off, there is always a chance. EK do have a bit of a shaky defence so that could be something to exploit. I would hope that Clyde have someone from the club getting to as many EK a games as they can between now and the play offs so they know everything they can about them. I’ve not forgotten that it could be a Highland League club rather than EK, but I think less likely. I have nothing against EK, they have a decent bunch of fans, but I just want them out the LL now the player recruitment is beyond silly now, so from that point of view it would be great to have Clyde in the LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many fans thought that Clyde were on some kind of roll, despite having only won one game in about ten. And Forfar scooshed it Clyde comfortably beat top 4 opposition on Saturday with a good performance, but nobody was under any illusions that it was anything other than a flash in the pan unless we followed it up with a win on Tuesday night. There was an obvious improvement in performances in December/January which included a few games we drew which really should’ve won. That may be the roll people said we were on you alluded to. However, since the Aberdeen game it has been a total disaster. The belief that we would get out this mess was centred around the fact we have an almost entirely new squad who are streets ahead of what we had (on paper at least), and that we still had to play the teams we could conceivably catch (in some cases twice). The new players haven’t showed up and we’ve lost to Elgin, Stranraer and Forfar which is unforgivable in our predicament. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Forfar fan coming in here. Whilst I think it most likely will be Clyde finishing 10th. I wouldn't put it past Forfar to absolutely chuck it and snatch relegation out of the jaws of mid table mediocrity (what a depressing sentence). Personally I'd love Brechin to make a return and we can have a lovely Angus derby next season, but it realistically will be East Kilbride as the latest of lower league and west of Scotland league teams to throw money around having budgets many times bigger than more historical SPFL teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
