A Son of the Rock

Forthbank Stadium, 4/4/10

Get out of jail free card played. Yet one more illustration that my crystal ball is defective.

Yes, we made their keeper make two good saves in the first half; once from a close-in Wyness header and once when Kieran Brannan was through but I couldn’t see this coming when we went one down.

We rode our luck more than once when defending corners. We have eleven men back and they still manage to get efforts in; plus we don’t then have an out ball. Just after they scored Ross Clark saved on the post at a corner.

Ross Clark at right back? Not the disaster it could have been but he’s more effective in midfield, surely? He was as exposed as Chissie there btw.

A route one ball gave us the equaliser. Dennis Wyness’s “powerful shot into the bottom corner” was a lob over the keeper into the middle of the goal and was so slow in coming down I thought he’d missed the goal completely.

The second was an exploitation of Carcary’s pace; he then squared the ball to an unmarked Wyness who looked to scuff it a bit, but who’s complaining?

Kieran Brannan started but seemed to lack enough pace to get past a man and a bit of confidence. He probably needs more development time. White was solid between the posts and had no chance with their goal.

The midfield was totally lacking in imagination and ideas. How we scored twice is a mystery to me but three points gratefully accepted

Two more points and Clyde can’t overtake us.
