Sons' sorrow

Goals 1 and 4 in 

Stanger has been pretty decent for us, but was definitely out of sorts on Tuesday.   If he was going to make a mistake, and who doesnt, that wasnt the best time for it.

I think we've got a chance tomorrow, in hindsight I think we played really well but were undone by the first 2 freaky goals.  We're capable of winning the game and if we can avoid throwing them in at the other end, the tie could be close.

Only brave enough to watch the "highlights" this morning.

2 defensive howlers and 1 that the keeper should have done better with. It's woeful for the first and last goals - defender leaves his ball back to the keeper very short. Wright's rebound control for the 3rd is shocking. He needs to be putting that ball round his post rather than out for the follow up shot. Ramsbottom would have done better for the 2nd and 3rd goals, but would probably have made a mess of a cross or a simple clearance. I don't rate either keeper - Ramsbottom probably a better shot stopper but Wright is better coming for corners and makes fewer mistakes with his kicking.

We'd struggle to score in Lupinenstrasse.

We get pumped 4-1 in the most important game of the season last night and ‘Big Eric’ is posting a Union Flag on Twitter tonight.

Total clown. Please get this guy out our club along with the rest of the staff ASAP.

Gregg Wylde also at it. Incredible.

If every Scottish club were to censure employees expressing Old Firm sentiments there wouldn't be much of a league here.  Unless anything offensive is posted the Board of Directors should focus on their work at Dumbarton and act accordingly.

His actions through both fixtures at Airdrie were fitting of a pub league side. In my time supporting Dumbarton I've never heard of a goalkeeping coach get involved in goading opposition fans. Faz says he reads these pages too so hiya Eric, hiya pal!

We'll that's exactly my point, I saw it myself recently at Airdrie.  Over to the DFC Board then, bearing in mind that they are frequently absent at away fixtures.

True, but it’s unprofessional and amateurish, at best. Particularly directly after the embarrassment of Tuesday. At worst, it confirms that they don’t really care about Dumbarton. Obviously Carsy is a big Rangers fan too, but at least he’s had the sense to keep quiet, as far as I can see.

He was posting on his Instagram story about going to it. That was all

Kieran Wright cannot kick a ball.  The game vs (can't remember) at home he kicked about 6 out the park in a row.

Kieran Wright has been a competent keeper at clubs higher than ours and played for the team that won this division last year. Ramsbottom has been a calamity anywhere he's been. Both have made mistakes but I'm fairly confident with a competent defence in front of Wright that we'd do fine in this league. Ramsbottom will cost you goals no matter what is in front of him.

As a matter of interest does anyone knows the odds on Dumbarton progressing over ninety minutes tomorrow ?

Asking for a Nigerian prince.

We are 3/4 to win tomorrow’s game. They don’t seem to have an option for just progressing but Dumbarton 4-0 is 28/1 and Dumbarton 5-1 is 55/1.

We used to have keeper debates about who was better, now it’s who is the least pish. 

Sons had the best keeper in the division in 2020/2021 by a long shot, how times change. Dabrowski was immense. Painful to think he's twiddling his thumbs on the bench at Easter Road.
