We'd probably have to go on a losing run of 10+ games for our board to even consider sacking the manager so I wouldn't bother wasting your breath shouting for him to go anytime soon. It's not just the results but more the manner in which we are losing these games. The team look completely lost and the manager and his backroom team spent most of the game scribbling christ knows what in their silly wee writing pads rather than actually communicating with the players and trying to get them playing a bit of football. The next time I see McCall in the dugout with a pen and paper I hope it's to sign his letter of resignation.

Totally agree Now the Edinburgh manager was total pain in the tits with his shouting during the game But at least he was encouraging his team, telling them what to do and coaching them in game time McCall just stands their writing god knows what Probably just writes the same each week ”Another s#ite performance this week” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed a good bit of fight, added on with his great technical ability. Would personally like to see him get more starts either on the RW or in the midfield if it’s a 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of others ahead of the queue to be blamed rather than Rennie today Actually think he gets a hard time of it He is one of the few players with a physical presence, he is skilful when on the ball and always good for a goal in every 3 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He offered more than most looks ungainly aye so unfairly criticised. Blame the over paid manager McCall and the bunch of mercenary players he recruited. Fraud and fraudsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least last season when we were bobbins it wasn’t costing much. Absolute clueless shambles out there. Management have had the international break to take stock and the performance today is arguably worse. No evidence of a game plan or style of play developing. As others have said making multiple changes at half time is wearing a bit thin now. On top of it all it’s £19 to watch that turgid shite, price hikes looking a stroke of genius now eh? Think I’m done until things change. Exactly this Thistle f**ker saw a chance of a last pay day got biggest budget in years of any Clyde manager buys players In who look good on paper but gutless and look as though their prime objective is not to get injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutherGlen Posted Saturday at 22:12 Share Posted Saturday at 22:12 What is all this "prime objective not to get injured" nonsense being pedalled by folk? I don't disagree that we lack dig as a team but don't think this is down to players prioritising staying injury free over winning games of football. As for my Rennie comment, I agree he wasn't anywhere near the worst player on the park today and he does have some positive attributes. That said, I still think he's prone to lazy spells or maybe just loses focus and goes into a wee dwam. Given the standard of play served up by his teammates I can hardly blame him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a statement on how we desperately needed players to show more heart and just as it looked like we got that in the second half it lasted ten minutes the reverted to type. He was an exemplar and not the cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walk Glasgow Posted Saturday at 22:32 Share Posted Saturday at 22:32 I moved home last month to somewhere that renders watching Clyde too time-consuming, expensive and impractical. Additionally I can save £19 gate money and still monitor the Bet365 simulator of the game which is spookily accurate at letting you "just know" when our heroes are about to concede a goal. I can't even guess where this malaise at the club is rooted, but I wouldn't blame it on the ability of the playing squad because I reckon any one of them would still do the business if lined up for some other side against us!! Someone somewhere must have a cunning plan. Shame there seems to be nobody at the club worth showing it to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Carrigan Posted Saturday at 22:43 Author Share Posted Saturday at 22:43 Not much else to say about Clyde at the moment, but I will say absolutely fair play to Edinburgh City. Well organised and played us like a fiddle, something we’re seeing regularly from teams playing against us this season. I always thought Connor Young looked ok playing for us, besides a few stinkers, and it’s good to see he’s doing well. He was dealt a rough hand last season being the one out of him/Rennie to get binned off and you could see when he came off today he gave absolutely everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young has been one of the better City players- sometimes a bit inconsistent but I'd rather have him than not have him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde01 Posted Saturday at 23:17 Share Posted Saturday at 23:17 Thought Rennie and Scullion did ok when they came on at half time but Lee Connelly was utter garbage and offered nothing the full time he was on. Perhaps the only positive today (apart from not losing) was Jordan Allan finally getting a goal, hopefully he can go on a run now. Watching that performance today though it doesn’t feel like we are about to click. Feels no further forward on what’s our best 11 or formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMonc Posted Sunday at 07:27 Share Posted Sunday at 07:27 Didn't make it through yesterday but those that did seemed pretty happy with the performance. We're definitely better than a lot of people (me included) expected. When Clyde battered us in the League Cup I thought they looked brilliant and the squad looked really strong - hard to explain this start to the league, other than it just seems to be what Clyde do. Hope the rumoured financial issues are either not true or swiftly resolved. Can confirm from personal experience, it's not fun to go through and wouldn't wish it on others. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to explain what’s happened since then, it seems that the longer the players have had to bed in under McCall we have got significantly worse. City on the opposite trajectory and look competitive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
