Guest Back Post Misses Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 No idea what Dumbarton team will turn up. Beat Raith away yet can’t beat Stranraer. Quick start required. Get in front and manage the game from there. Go behind it will be a long day for us. Hopefully a couple of new faces too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest question for us is.....will we have any subs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Dumbarton team just turning up would be an achievement given the rate at which our players are dropping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson Park Boy Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Who are the 2 suspended? Thought Telfer and Gomis we’re back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three off injured yesterday and two suspended Still should be able to name more than one outfield sub though Who were the two trialists you guys had named in the squad yesterday? Take it, it wasn't just McCracken and Miller filling space? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Goalie Erskine and yes, Lee Miller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 With Dumbarton so struggling for players I wonder if they are one of the teams interested in taking Johnstone in January?They are more than welcome to take Telfer and Durnan as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity check needed. Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Durnan is more use to Dumbarton playing in our defence than the Dumbarton defence 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played under Duffy before and played well, we also have no strikers capable of playing up front on their own other than Layne. I have my doubts we'll make a move though. We really need Layne, Frizzell and Crossan back for this to have any chance, but a comfy home win seems likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller post match talked about the strikers in the squad quoting himself as a back up, McManus, McMillan and Sammon so pretty telling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossan and Frizzell are definitely out according to Duffy unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was typically Duffy when I asked him about potentially adding to the squad before this too, just said "We're no Manchester City, we can't just go out and buy players." So I'm imagining our best case scenario would involve Shiels and Layne coming back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn’t make sense here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I couldn't hate that response more tbh. Why are fans being asked to contribute to a managers fund if it doesn't enable him to add to the squad? Nobody expects us to start dropping bids for players in contract, just do your best to get players who will be made available. We're not fucking morons, we get how this works by now - we watch it happen every year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I expect Muzzy Izzett to start on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just say that you’re doing your best but it’s a challenging market and we’d all be far more sympathetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Duffy is a dour faced b*****d, no doubt about it. There is no chance he is letting players f**k off on loan without being confident of securing replacements.As much as Duffy does an excellent job on a shite budget his ability to generate a bit of excitement and hope amongst a fanbase is awful. When we are struggling to put arses on seats his comments don't really help at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
