I wasn't overly impressed by any of the Edinburgh City players to be honest but maybe I just overlooked things with the excitement of the situation etc and being at the game

I feel like Ramsbottom is fine. But I also think we can do better. Goalkeepers are always interesting in the loan market. Because they tend to peak a little later you can usually get good ones (like Dabrowski) who is far superior even with his own weaknesses. I'm one of the few who has stuck up for Jones this season. I think he gets much more criticism than some of the others, which isn't warranted. He is decent enough at the hold up play and winning us fouls in the opposition half. Shame we haven't had a decent quality delivery most of the time to use it to our advantage. That being said, I still don't think we should retain Jones.

No chance I'd keep Ramsbottom. Can't be doing with a bomb scare in goal - even as back up. Too much of a liability. Also wouldn't keep Carswell or Wedderburn. Both have been disappointing but I could see us keeping 1 of the 2. I'm not as convinced about Wilson either but in a creative team he would score a few (but miss a lot more).

I think many of ours fans had a bit of fear about playing sides who had finished the season on much more of a high but seeing us vs Stranraer and yourselves just shows that there is a significant enough step up to the league we are in. No disrespect, but I was never overly worried throughout the tie and feel we deserved to win through in both the semi final and final games. The sending off was correct and killed off any chance of momentum being built. Stupid to dive like that when booked already. FWIW, I don't think the ref would have booked him if he knew he was already on a booking. Seemed like he realised afterwards to me (not that it should make any difference of course!).

Job done. Now clear the majority of the squad (and manager) out and start afresh. Wouldn't mind keeping a couple of the defenders but that's about it really. Disappointed with how poor Carswell and Wedderburn were, especially after the sending off. That is exactly the type of game they should be taking control of and dictating.

Totally agree. We all know we don't have world beaters but Frizzell and Langan starting is not a confidence builder ahead of kick off... even with the limited choices we have available.

Yes and no. Got to assume he is at RB with that line up. Not many other options really. But I agree that having Langan start when we have Wallace and Brindley on the bench seems bizarre.

With Grant Gallagher scoring the goal that relegates us. Andy Stirling is much more likely... but yeah it would be typical if that happened of course. Ps, we need an "anyone but Dumbarton" option please.

With all the Clyde love for Sons here... do we reckon we could have Goodwillie on an emergency loan for the next couple of weeks?

You really are an absolute roaster

I haven't once argued against any of that. I also acknowledged that I would love to have him in our team for his abilities. But none of what you say makes him the "best player in the league" and I stand by my opinion that he isn't - as do many others going by the replies on this thread.

If we are looking at the whole league I would take Rudden over Goodwillie. Probably Mitch Megginson too actually. I don't think Goodwillie scoring against Spain 10 years ago qualifies him as the best player, at any level, now. That being said, he is a very good option in league 1 and I'd have loved us to have a player like him this season! Can't wait for his hat-trick tonight

I mean... we have Robert Jones and Isaac Layne (kinda). In all seriousness though, he is a decent player but I wouldn't go as far as to say he is the best in the league.

I'm being serious when I say 90% have been poor. The amount of free kicks which end up out of play is ridiculous. I've not even started on his free kicks. He hasn't properly worked a 'keeper this season. I now don't even get remotely excited by the prospect of him hitting a free kick around the box any more.

I've said it before and I will say it again... if I hit 15 corners/free kicks every match I would get at least 1-2 of them right. That's the kind of success rate we are talking about. It's impossible to know how many he has hit but I would estimate that it couldn't be much more than 10% could be classed as "good deliveries". He has set his own high standards and this season his deliveries haven't been good enough, given how many he has hit.

I think that's what makes it worse. We know what he is capable of, but he continues to waste 90% of our dead ball situation with absolute dross.

I'm guessing that perhaps the plan is to use the current site to fund they proposed stadium move. We would need to build and sell houses in the car park first? This would also make more sense of the newly registered company recently set up in our name, so to speak.

You really are weird eh?

Ahh... like we should have done today you mean?

Who isn't? Wilson, Brindley, Frizzell and Crossan to name a few. 100% we don't have enough quality in the final 3rd but I feel he is singled out for criticism when I'd have him ahead of a few others. He lacks any finesse and he doesn't look the most natural but at least he puts in more effort than Wilson or Frizzell etc.

Do you really think he is as bad as we have? Think he was one of our best today... doesn't say much for the rest but the criticism he gets is often OTT, in my opinion.

Been a lot of fouls from Ally Love. "That's a red!!"

"His shorts seem to have malfunctioned"
