steelboy Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Clyde took 5 off Edinburgh City away from home last night. Hopefully that will be a wake up call for Kettewell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 I share the same concerns many posters have expressed about our start to this season, but the chances are that Edinburgh City didn't put 11 men behind the ball and park the bus from kick off last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 The league cup is always tricky as you have to navigate getting players minutes, no aggravating any minor injuries, whilst at the same time trying to win games and top the group. Already having 6 players with injuries before we started only made things that bit trickier. I would hope as players return to full fitness we will see some changes to personnel. Until then we just need to stay patient and see what transpires. If we go into our first league game with a loan striker supported by Paron and Halliday, then I will start to get concerned. Clyde are a step up from Edinburgh and Montrose, hopefully we will see the same progression from our team. A new signing before then would help improve the mood!

Don't know if Clyde are a step up on either. They were lucky to stay in the league last season. Montrose are certainly a lot better, you can argue the case for Edinburgh I suppose but while they were a bit of a catastrophe club last term it was in a league up the pyramid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Kettlewell could learn something from Ian McCall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those 3 Montrose are the best side, Clyde only just avoided the playoff and possible relegation to the Lowland League, which is where Edinburgh City are heading if they stay in business long enough as they are brutal, a team of teenagers. The only thing you can take from Clyde scoring 5 is how bad EC must be. We will win the group, we might not get one of the seeded spots but that's par for the course for us, avoid the ugly sisters and Hearts and it's game on against any of the rest.

grizzlyg Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 We definitely need a big performance today to stop groans of discontent. Miller the only creative midfielder we have so we definitely need to bring someone in.......turnbull on loan? If ye don't ask.....🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 I suspect Clyde will play a similar game to Ediburgh City and Montrose. They'll also have the benefit of having see us struggle against those 2 sides. I wonder if any of our injured players will be fit enough to make an appearance? We certainly need more presence up front, a more offensive/creative midfield and more pace from the wing backs. So, more of the same won't do. Will Kaleta be fit? Will we play play 2 up front? Will Stuparevic start? Whatever, we need to shake it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Paton is the new Spittal. Untouchable. Two up front is an improvement but the wingbacks are still a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
