lorenzo71 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I fancy Raith to give Ayr a doing....Ayr's players have already given up.....so we might see a hamilton vs morton from 3 years ago scenario.Think Raith are capable of winning by 5 or 6 so we need to be competitive and fight for the point at least.As news from other games filter through on the day that may well influence the game.What i dont want is that we go into the game thinking its all done and dusted.I have watched Sons for too long to know that we cannot take anything for granted.

lorenzo71 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Should also add that what our club have done over the past 5 seasons has been amazing.Arguably the most over performing team in Scotland given our budget and the often celubrious opposition in our league.Aitken has done s great job taking over from where Ian Murray left of.Makes you wonder what might have happened had we had a go from day one instead of all the negative football we played in the first 15 games or so.

bridge of allan bairn Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think the result will almost be irrelevant as DU won't win at CappilowAnyway that aside and all injuries (that seem to be mounting up) heal the team has to be a positive one.Thomson Muirhead Luca Grant LeahyCraigen McKee Taiwo SibbaldAustin McHugh I heard both Taiwo and Grant were limping after the game yesterday. I can almost see McCracken getting a game Saturday if the injuries don't clear up. With hippo and Watson out thus is exactly the starting 11 I'd go for. The only remotely possible argument there is Miller for McHugh but prefer McHugh energy first 60 to 70 then Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some people would say it was over performing as they are a part time team in a mostly full time league. I wouldn't see it as that though, I'd see it as having a good manager who knows how to get the best out of players. Over performing would be a useless team with a useless manager sneaking out lucky results and grinding teams down, there's nothing lucky about the way Dumbarton play, they are now a well established championship side.

squeezeboxson Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Might have missed something, but what's happening with Danny Rogers at Falkirk? Has he been out the team for a while or did he get injured to end up out the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly unfortunate the way its happened but would have been unfair on Thomson if he'd been benched for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd's record away to teams in the top half is pretty poor (W1 D3 L3) and their only win was the game where Dunfermline missed 3 pens. Morton may rest some players, but you surely don't want to be going into the play-offs on the back of a poor result and performance, especially if it's against the team you could be facing. I fancy a draw in both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson is also signed up for next season, whereas Rogers will likely be back at Aberdeen. Makes sense to blood him as our number one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Carson is my No 1 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm gutted that I'm missing this but my boys team is going to Manchester to train with city then watch City v Crystal Palace. I'm expecting the Sons players to turn up and play for the fans one more time before the team splits up. However I will be hoping our relationship with Hibernian will stand the test of time and they pump St Mirren and we won't need to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
