  1. Layne was far too isolated in the first half and as a result he was getting nowhere near passes or clearances, so Peterhead were able to control the game

    Getting one back just before half time was critical as it allowed us to regroup but with hope for the second half

    Once we got scullion, McKee and crossan closer to Layne we were much improved and probably could have scored at least one more

    Great set up at Peterhead and made to feel welcome

    The win definitely made the journey worthwhile

  2. On a slightly different note seagal is he good or pish.....personally after watching him after a few games i say the latter.....
     
     
    keep your chins up guys  it's not a barrel of laughs up Airdrie way either. We got an undeserved 1 nil win against Accies boys and they rode us senseless all second half.
    Bit of both I'd say... very much a confidence player, but don't expect him to get past his man if you play him out wide...he won't even try

    Play him through the middle though and give him chances...he will score

    Ended up our joint top scorer last season with 16 odd goals
  3. Was Brian McLean any good last season? We’ve got him on trial but I seem to recall him getting a bit of a slating on here after his performances for Dumbarton, unless if I’m confusing him with someone else. 
    He was fine without being outstanding...that said we definitely tightened up at the back when he came in
  4. Makes me uneasy to learn we’re losing (very) longstanding fans over a drum - particularly given the fragile state of the football club.
    There has to be a compromise somehow that keeps everyone reasonably happy. 
    Surely ear plugs are the answer.. everyone's happy
  5. Ally Roy and Callum Gallagher any good?
    Gallagher is a hard working player who will score if chances are made for him. If you play him as a winger you'll be disappointed...he can't beat his man

    As for ally Roy.....tbh..i can't really remember him that well...he is probably most remembered for a guy on here called rangeman who may or may not be related to him
  6. I know the final table never lies, but thought it would be interesting to see who took the most points off us this season compared to their final league position

    Vs Dumbarton FC

    1   (3)   Raith Rovers 10 points, +9GD

    2   (2)   Forfar 10 points, +6GD

    3   (9)   Stenhousemuir 7 points, +1GD

    4   (10)   Brechin 6 points, -2GD

    5   (8)   Stranraer 6 points, -2GD

    6   (1)   Arbroath 5 points, 0GD

    7   (5)   Airdrie 4 points, 0GD

    8   (4)   Montrose 4 points, -2GD

    9   (7)   East Fife 0 points, -10GD

    perhaps not surprising to see Raith and Forfar up near the top, but the fact that Stennie and Brechin fill the next two spaces is weird, while Arbroath only the 6th best team we played 

  7. I had heard there was a new player on Saturday and am also 99% confident this guy was in the stand on Saturday. As was Jocky Scott for whatever reason.

    There was a guy warming up with Beany before the game...he sat in the stand and watched the game

    No idea who he is but rumoured to be signing this week

    Looked like a defender

  8. I see no issue in the birthday thing, it can only help the knowledge of DFC’s next generation, as it does me, reading about the players that are posted on here, by ok1, and howlin wilf for example.

    What if the club invited a lot of these guys to the hospitality, do we think we’d sell it out more? Just a thought, happens at ibrox/parkhead

    It would need to be club legends rather than guys who played ten times over two seasons

    I'm thinking of guys like Craig Brittain, Paddy Flannery (recent fb posts aside), Andy Brown...


  9. I see that we're doing a deal where ST holders can bring a friend to the Stranraer game for half price.
    Good idea imo, especially given Stranraer will likely have one of the smaller away supports in the league. Hopefully a few extra folk come along - especially with it being a few days before Christmas, with hyper weans in the house.


    It's a great idea but maybe would have been better to try avoiding the cheaper hospitality day? I would imagine quite a lot of the people going will be season ticket holders, so perhaps limiting the take up for this particular game?
  10. I wonder if the board are being cautious about getting rid of Stevie because they don't want a reputation for being trigger happy. This could clearly affect our ability to attract a good quality manager

    Perhaps this is why they are not rushing in to sack him just now during what is clearly an injury crisis

  11. I saw him play 7 games for the dev side last year, 1 game for the 1st team and he looked a far better keeper than Lennox or Smith. Out of the dev side he was the one I thought had the most potential.
    Having now seen both McGuff and Wright in action Ive got no doubt who I'd rather we had in goal tomorrow. 
    You question his height yet he's the same height as Andy Goram was when he played for Oldham and Hibs. Was he too small to be a top class keeper?
    Question...did Andy Goram grow taller when he played for Rangers (RIP) and Scotland?
  12. I'd be amazed if that were true. Delighted but amazed.
    I don't think he's as good as Ralston..solid player, but can have a heavy first touch, and has spent a fair bit of time injured

    I would say he's a championship level player, but perhaps not good enough for the top league

    Would happily take him back though
  13. A non-Sons fan has just asked in the match thread why we appear to ALWAYS have players out with injury. Rather than derail the match thread, I though I'd raise the question here - why is that?
    Is our physio poor?
    Do we not warm up/down thoroughly?
    Is it the state of our pitch?
    Is it something we do in training?
    Do we just make a bigger issue out of having players out than other teams do? (Perhaps because of the smaller squad)
    Something else?

    To be fair, over the last few seasons we've signed players with injury problems who were unlikely to have signed for us if they'd stayed injury free....and more importantly most remained injury free

    It seems however our luck ran out this season, and I would guess some of the guys have played through niggling injuries to make up the numbers
