Dumbarton v Elgin City:Personal opinion but I see this as a poor draw for the City. Notwithstanding the fact that the Sons are not setting the heather on fire this season, the reasonable expectation is that we will get beaten by a team two leagues up.
At this stage of the Cup, teams at our level are usually looking for a team we could reasonably expect to beat at home(excluding shocks such as Lothian Thistle but that appears to be down to the goalie if the Binos fans are to be believed this morning and teams from the junior leagues such as Glens(Boness Utd beating us still lives in the memory) and then get one of the big boys in the 4th round.
So far this season we have been struggling to get a settled team and results have been indifferent with a win here and then losing at Berwick after going 2-0 up and then losing 3-2.
Hopefully our new manager,Gavin Price who was our assistant until Jim Weir left recently, provides continuity but we need to get some fire power up front and sort out the defensive frailties we appear to suffer from. The good news is that Shane Sutherland (our top scorer last season and SPFL Div 2 Player of the Year)is on his way back after a Crucial Ligament injury but when and how match fit he will be is not known.
Cannot see many City fans travelling for this one, just the usual culprits who travel to away games.
