Clyde vs Dumbarton
squeezeboxson replied to Adolfo Rios's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
The commentary is dreadful. The football is worse... We need to throw everything at them 2nd half (starting off with Crossan for either Bridley or Frizzell) and at least try get a draw. They don't look any good at all but don't think we have rescued a single point from a losing position this season. -
Clyde vs Dumbarton
squeezeboxson replied to Adolfo Rios's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Dumbarton really don't do well when they are expected to get results... with everything looking like it is against Clyde it wouldn't surprise me to see you guys win convincingly. That being said, if our players cannot motivated themselves for this game given everything that has unfolded over the season then they fully deserve to go down. Tough game but I just hope we do enough to even scrape a victory, at least! -
Interesting to hear the commentary on the Partick v Falkirk game. Apparently Brian Graham went over to calm down Zak Rudden who was getting wound up by Mark Durnan...

Doom Derby - Sons -vs- Loons

Yeah, I know he has been struggling. But we could really do with him in the next 2 matches. -
Jesus, 20 pages in and we still don't know who to blame

Agree with most of this. I had my doubts that Layne was the answer to our problems before last night and I'm now certain I was correct to feel that way. He can't play next Tuesday so depending on how things unfold with Clyde then he may not feature again. Also agree we looked better balanced with Jones and it didn't take long for him to contribute more than Isaac did... Langan simply isn't good enough for me and Frizzell offers far too little in the grand scheme of things. We are lucky if once in a match he beats 2 men and creates 1 chance. I was also disappointed in Omar's contribution last night but feel he needs to be played further forward. He was sitting in beside Forbes last night at times and the one time he got into the opposition half he ripped the Forfar player, being too quick, and it could have resulted in a red card for their man. But he is wasted playing so deep. Concerns at RB (in defence in general) with McAllister going off too... hope that doesn't mean he misses any more games. -
Oh... now this is awkward

So that'll mean the pressure is off and a comfortable victory then..? -
East Fife vs Dumbarton
squeezeboxson replied to The Moonster's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Not that you guys will actually play him. You just want to concede 2 less goals a season eh? *(If we stay up!)* -
Surely the only fair thing to do would be to ban him and send us Zak Rudden on an emergency loan in way of an apology? Falkirk and Cove look to have bottled it anyway so they won't need him...

I don't think we should be fearing teams like Clyde, Forfar and Peterhead. It was less than a week ago where we deservedly beat Clyde away and if we can produce that same level we should have enough to avoid the drop. I do think we have been far too inconsistent this year but I don't think we can take much from tonight's match. Partick are a better team than us who are in better form and we ran out of steam in the last 20 mins or so. It didn't help losing 2 key players in an already threadbare squad for the match.

I can't get over the fact we could be 5th if we had beaten Forfar and Peterhead. Both teams were awful in those matches... but we were worse obviously. We really had to be better in those 2 games, in my opinion.

Clyde v Dumbarton
squeezeboxson replied to shawfield shed boy's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
I completely agree. The aforementioned Montrose are the perfect example of exactly this. I'm not too clued up on budgets but there can't be much between most of the side from mid League 1 downwards. But I think it is fair to say QP being full time and having guys like Simon Murray, Louis Longridge and Jai Quitongo in their attack probably means they have a bigger budget than most part time teams in the country. Should add in: the years we spent in the championship completely backed up the point you are making. Not many of our fans would argue that the biggest budget means success. We watched a number of teams drop out of the championship whilst we stayed up. Glory days...
