parsforlife Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Don't see why anyone would be so eager for Higgy to play. The guy is a total liability and thinks he's far better than he actually is. Geggan should be dropped though. Can't pass a ball six yards this season. Think part of the plan of pushing higginbotham further up the park is when he tries to skin 5 players we are in a better position to defend upon him inevitabley losing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We throw up temp terracing at the Leven end for Falkirk matches following fan pressure a few years ago. Fair enough, hadn't realised that. Good effort from them then. Unfortunately, due to current form, I can't see us taking more than 400-500 fans on Saturday - not even sure we'll take that many. It's a shame, remember going to Dumbarton in 2012/13 and thought it was a nice wee ground. I've already got other plans this weekend, but hope to be at our other fixture there this season. Think it will end up a 3-3 draw or something this week. Robert Thomson almost certain to score at least 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He jests.Falkirk fans were outraged at the size of our tiny little stadium when we got promotion. Temp stands were mooted and tears were shed. How the hell would our miniscule away end house the hoardes of Falkirk fans expected to descend upon Dumbarton? Well, fairly easy it turned out. Infact it was so easy they could have cloned themselves and accompanied their cloned selves to the game and lay across 2 seats each. The legend of the Falkirk Stand will never die.

Can't decide whether this is my favourite recurring Sons 'joke', or the "We'll win 2-1, Player X with a hattrick" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Likely team from Pars? No danger of anything too radical like tinkering with formations. Murdoch Williamson Martin Ashcroft Talbot PatonGeggan Wedderburn Higgi... Reilly ?Clark/ anyone fit or not suspended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Given that Johnstone thinks we were doing well on Saturday up til Hibs scored and we tired, I'm assuming it'll be the same team and system that started that game barring any injury changes. So if BRE isn't fit it'll be Williamson in to right back and Martin into the middle, and if Farid isn't fit then either Clark (if fit) or Higginbotham up front - if it's the later then McMullan will come in on the left wing unless Cardle is fit I'm guessing. Despite our awful start and the number of injuries it's strange that we can still put out a 1-11 without players playing out of position although a lot of them are certainly out of form.

Poet of the Macabre Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We weren't playing well before Hibs equalised. We were second best throughout and if AJ doesn't see that then that's another issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I know I advocated sending The Moff on loan to Cowden when we re-signed him but I'd be happy to see him given a chance again. I quite miss his incredible misses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumbartonTheSons Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I know it's relatively early in the season still, but arguably the next two games could make or break our season. And I hope Aitken realises this and sets us up accordingly.0 or 1 point from the next two games could be very detrimental to our season, so I really hope we can start off with a win in the first one against the Pars.

For me he is the best link up player we have at the club and a better option than Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Without doubt, Stevie has to start the same team as last week, good performance, unlucky not to take a point in a game where chances from both sides were at a premium, and keepers at their best, probably could have nicked a point at tannadice, just has to forget using Stevenson for a while and use mccallum earlier if we are down, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
