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.

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...

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..?

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...

This post is the only thing that qualifies as a "load of nonsense".

Shadows are relative to the light source, by your logic zak is right in front of the post Or not if you look at the correct shadow

Play to our strengths and all that... shame we don't really have any. But our defence has been far superior to our attack this season so there may be some logic in it, somewhere.

Yeah, I don't agree.

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.

But the ball wasn't on the ground was it? That Still makes it look like the ball has rolled across the line on the ground. Not saying it was or wasn't just that you can't be 100% sure, in my opinion. The fact is, he should've buried it with the 'keeper having no chance to get near it.

I've not suggested that it made any difference to the result or that we were hard done by tonight. I just think that the challenge late on by Ross Docherty was out of control, dangerous and over the top of the ball.

Surely you cannot say for certain the ball crosses the line?? Unless you watched a different stream to what I did. He should've blasted in the back of the net and didn't.

Anyone else think Ross Docherty could've seen red before? Seemed late and quite aggressive over the ball to me but hard to say in real time.

Just said exactly the same thing. If he uses an elbow with enough force to cause an injury like that then it's a red for me. Clumsy or not.

Seem to have been moved on

Where is your stadium again? Maryhill Thistle FC.

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.

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...
