PREVIEW: Clyde v Cowdenbeath

After a short break, Clyde’s Ladbrokes League 2 campaign continues tomorrow with a home match against Cowdenbeath.

The teams have already met three times this season, including a Scottish Cup tie, with honours even overall.

For the Bully Wee tomorrow, David Goodwillie is ruled out due to a broken arm, but otherwise Danny Lennon expected to have a full squad to choose from.

Speaking to the official website this evening, the Clyde manager said:-

“David’s injury is unfortunate, but it’s now an opportunity for other players in the squad to make further contributions in attack. There are numerous players here who all have that talent for finding the back of the net. We have been creating and scoring well of late.

“In general, we have a group of players who are all desperate to be involved and we’ve seen recently three or four examples of players coming into the side and taking their chance really positively.

“Cowdenbeath are a much-improved side this season, with a stronger squad, and they will give us a real good challenge tomorrow.

“It’s been nearly a month since we played at Broadwood, so it’ll be nice to be back at home and we want to put on a good show for the supporters. We all know how well the top two teams have done so far, but we are right in behind them and we’re aiming for another three points to keep that pressure on.”
