FifeSons Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We'll be lucky to score 4 goals in the rest of the season, let alone in one game! After being East Fife's bogey team for so long, it seems the tables have turned; a quick look on the sons archive tells me we've lost the last 3 and haven't won in 4. This is also a fixture that usually produces a lot of goals, and with our record this season I can only assume they will all go our way... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 If we start our strongest 11 and score a goal I’ll consider it progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Know what's pish? I've waited all year for the football season to return and it's only taken 9 games for complete apathy to set in. If he doesn't start Wilson I might ask for my fucking money back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 It's just struck me (whilst starting work on my review of the year) that we've only won one away game in the whole of 2020. Thank God I won't have to travel far for this defeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon_The_Fife Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Who knows which East Fife team will turn up. We have the best home record in the league but the worst away record and can’t get any sort of run going. Dumbarton have only scored 1 goal in 5 games and I think I’m right in thinking that was from a free kick that Wedderburn headed in. Dumbarton have caused us problems before at set pieces and we are notorious at giving away soft goals and when guys like McGeever are around we have to be wary. This is a good chance for us to pull away from Forfar at the bottom and start to look up the table again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our one goal was from a set piece, but Ross Forbes' delivery has been awful 90% of the time this season - so I don't think we're due another goal from one until February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that time in the winter Wee Dick was spreading the Boghead pitch as opposed to rolling it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Its a tough choice on Saturday. Dumbarton v East Fife is either going to see a reaction from the team and a much better performance or it's going to be brutal. The alternatives are the horse racing on ITV and/or finding a stream for Mannheim v Straubing in the DEL german ice hockey league. I can't expect us to win, but I really don't want to watch us play horrible football and end up being absolutely hammered. There's no enjoyment in that. I'm starting to get the feeling that this season is going to be a write off. Club have my money and I'm glad that they do, but if things don't improve on the park then I think we can pretty much guarantee a relegation fight and I'm not convinced that we'd stay up even if we finished 9th. There's just no enjoyment in watching us struggle so badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often when you expect the least with Dumbarton Football Club, they find a way of surprising you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed we did, and according to the Sons Archive we had TWO home league matches against Brechin that season [emoji848]Maybe they'll rescind the promotion ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
