Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Aitken seems absolutely beyond seething. I fully agree with what he's saying but he's so seething he looks like he could burst into tears. I'm wondering if one of our diddy performers has tried to give him some shite back after the game or something. I've never seen him look that furious.

cedrick1 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Think stevie entitled to be a bit annoyed as we didn’t push on after a bright start. I just gi d it interesting that players given a chance imo don’t seem any better than those they replace . As I say squad is what it is what I would say is Chris Johnson and David smith must be offering little in training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons Fan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Maybe I’m reading to much into it but from the managers comments he seems raging at Dowie and Scott Gal. He mubbled something about Gal then went on to praise Ewing’s on how he’s a warrior etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Scott Gal will be on the bench next week regardless if he’s fit or not. Clearly Stevie thinks he came off with a small knock when he could’ve played on. Hopefully Ewings isn’t too rusty from lack of game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Carsy was excellent last season, Barr has been excellent this season (admittedly at CB), and Wilson flicks between being wonderful and horrendous. All three have had their poorest games in a Sons' shirt alongside Hutton. Gallacher gets stick for making the defence shaky, as does Dowie, so pointing to a potential link between Hutton and our midfield's performance isn't as agenda driven as it sounds.

sonsanorak Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I ask again, what made you think he would cause us any problems? His height, pace and aggression. Him having played with us last year and having trained against Nade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sons superhero Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I think he is being a little harsh saying the opposition controlled the second half. I don't think either team had control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Irrespective of the opposition the squad for the is a patchwork quilt right now... the trick is to get the most we can from them on a collective basis, and if that means making 'unpopular' calls then so be it.

I don't think either team had control. We were certainly better in the first half but Stevie is perhaps going too far with his "Stranraer controlled the second half" patter. I feel that probably an incident or two will have bugged him and this may have contributed to him winding the crossbow a bit tight. Nothing wrong with a bit of passion though. To take a wider view, I've stood and sat through many evening cup ties like last night's and we've ended up on the losing side. I said on Saturday that we'd play worse and win - QED but I didn't expect the proof so soon. Pleased with the attitude that we want to do well in this competition. Jamie's a warrior.....

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Would love to know who Aitken is referring to when he talks about players thinking they are better than what they are etc.Defo think there's more to it than him being seething about just the performance. I reckon we will be able to tell based on his next squad who the culprits are. He proved last season that if you piss him off you're done, as Sparky found out.

Looks fairly young, has he come through the ranks? Is he a regular? The type of player I wouldn't be against us signing tbh. Your on the wynd up BBPF,already been for a week’s trial with Aberdeen so he won’t be signing for Dumbarton.Will go full time,he’s only 19,plays on a regular basis and has been with us for 3 yrs,rumours are that Dundee Utd and Sheffield utd are interested and Aberdeen could also sign him,perfectly honest the Sons couldn’t afford him.

lionel wickson Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I wasn't expecting that from Stevie. We maybe didn't hit the heights in terms of performance, but I never thought we were in any danger of losing the tie. I thought we played much more poorly in the first half against Connah's Quay for example. For a competition that we've at best been ambivalent about, it's a very surprising reaction. Even within the interview he seems quite dismissive about the merits of the competition and he's been pretty scathing about it in the past. It also means that a league game is going to be re-scheduled for midweek, which is not ideal for us as a part-time team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Seems really weird that they give this competition priority over the league. It's the cup that should be midweek not the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 In my opinion C Gall has to be in that list. I don't know, he doesn't (and didn't when I was doing some Uni work at St Mirren) strike me as the sort of guy with a big ego. He could, of course, be totally different in a dressing room environment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Just watched the highlights, we really could and should have been 3 or 4 up and the game done in the first 20 minutes. Calum Gallagher has a couple of great chances he needs to be burying. We got so slack after the 2nd goal (which was excellent work from Walsh and Stewart) and Stranraer had a good 3 or 4 chances and easily could've won the game in the end. I don't think we were great but I'm not sure it warranted Stevie's reaction but he's obviously felt the need to publicly show he wants better. I doubt there'll be anything more to it but next weeks team could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1870ToonBlue Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 100% you should have been out of sight in the first 20 mins and we couldn't have complained. Felt we dominated possession but failed to do anything with it, had we started with a striker the game could have been different. Kyle was by far our best player always wanted the ball and looked to make a forward pass I only wish the same could be said for some of our more experienced players who only look interested when the game is going our way. I got slated pre season for ribbing a few of the sons players but after last night I can say the same Walsh and C Gallagher how poor can they be even Dowie and Hutton surely you guys must get frustrated watching them knowing the education they would have received at Murray Park. Craig Barr is solid, cracking player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
