Brian Carrigan Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 After a lovely wee break from football where nothing whatsoever related to Clyde FC happened, we're back at the ground we're currently probably squatting in to play Edinburgh City. It's been an absolutely stinking few weeks on the park, but after a big win in the cup you'd like to think Clyde have used the time off from competitive action well and will get a result here. As far as the team goes, I'd begin with: - Kinnear - - Hynes - Hamilton - McKay - Robson - - Murdoch - Scullion - - Redfern - Connell - Connolly - - Allan - If Houston is miraculously fit, he'd be in at right back of course. Ray Grant is unlucky to be missing out in my team (I'm sure he'll get over it) but he and Murdoch are just way too similar and want to occupy the exact same space on the park. For me, the above allows Murdoch to sit and Scullion to push. Redfern and Connell have been the two standouts for me so far in a very poor start, in contrast to Allan and Connolly who have both been fairly poor. I feel like after the break, this is a great opportunity for both to show why they should be playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 The Wooly Bee Barrowfield Clyde of the Rutherglen of the Shawfield of the What's it Called Naw It's Bloody Cauld of the Hamilton blew us away a couple of months ago in a pretty decent performance. I'm not sure what's gone wrong since. Revenge would be sweet and lead to seethe but I think it might be a draw or a Clyde win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaleyReinhart Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I'm actually looking forward to this on Saturday. Miss club football on international breaks. Edinburgh on relatively good form and can be happy with their showing at the VIP box with a stand attached on Saturday. Absolutely no idea how this will go but will be nice to see some posts about football on here again, even if it is taking the piss out of us. If Hamilton is back at right back, I may well turn the car round mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 McCall said after the last one that Houston would be back. Him and Cuddihy would make a massive difference. I don't really have any opinions on the lineup other than I hope we have used the five training sessions to set the team up around Jordan Allan. If we can't get him firing then we have no chance longer term. I can only imagine the reaction if we struggle in the first half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrazoo Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Really need Clyde to turn up and have a performance… and a result. I cant say I am confident they will do that… but that’s what we need. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde_MM Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Lee Hamilton in the middle of defence, 10% increase in tempo on the ball and employing a gameplan that suits our striker and I'm sure we'll stop the rot here. Having said that, I look forward to Howie and McKay at centre half with us mixing it up between playing plenty neat passes to one another in front of Edinburgh's entire defence and midfield and making Jordan Allan compete for headers with two/three guys half a foot taller than him all afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if Hamilton starts at right back for us, just hit crosses at every opportunity. You'll get your win. Your players might not even need to score the goal(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde_MM Posted Saturday at 13:40 Share Posted Saturday at 13:40 Hamilton at centre half and someone to win headers for Allan. I'm like a shit-caked Andy Dufresne right now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted Saturday at 13:57 Share Posted Saturday at 13:57 No Ray grant or Kyle Connell in the match day squad. Both sat in the stand with Hynes and Cuddihy. Hopefully no major issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted Saturday at 14:48 Share Posted Saturday at 14:48 Absolutely awful. Only tactic is punt the ball at Dunachie. Redfern has lost the ball every time he's got it. Connelly offers nothing. Just embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted Saturday at 14:50 Share Posted Saturday at 14:50 We've set up to be direct and then haven't stuck a single accurate ball up to Dunachie. No idea what the point of Connolly/Redfern being out there is playing in that manner. Murdoch and Lyon have been abysmal, even allowing for them being outnumbered centrally. Positives are Hamilton, and I actually think Allan looks sharper. Edinburgh passing it about without actually going anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
