I think he'll play Frizzell instead of Omar. Forbes, Nat and Brindley will be more of a 3 in midfield with Wallace and Frizz playing off Jones. Looks like PJ is fit too, hopefully he can make an impact at some point. Struggle to see who gets us a goal though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super-son Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Now would be an ideal time for Jones to find his shooting boots. He's a strange one. He's showed a few flashes of brilliance with the ball at his feet and then falls on his arse when he goes to shoot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 I’d take a draw tonight tbh. Handling is a w****r and almost certain to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Not really getting the vitriol against Danny Handling. He scored THAT cracker against TNS but was mainly injured the rest of the time. Am off to check the odds for him to score against us tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored THAT cracker against TNS but was mainly injured the rest of the time. Am off to check the odds for him to score against us tonight. When he signed for us he didn't tell Aitken about a knee injury he was carrying and subsequently went off injured after 10 minutes of his debut. I was told that if Aitken had known about that he'd never have signed him. When he was fit he was a huge shitebag and other than that contribution against TNS he done absolutely nothing. Probably not deserving of vitriol, but he was a player that came with a reputation of having a bit of quality and he was pish. Usually irks the fans a bit more. Edinburgh City 1-0 with Handling as the scorer will probably have quite tasty odds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Nothing summed up Danny Handling's time at the Rock more than his best and only contribution being superceded a few minutes later by something better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I’m not Wilson’s biggest fan but there’s nae denying he’s our only real goal threat. With him out our best hope is probably trying to grind out a 0-0. Crossan at least knows where the goal is, unlike Jones, so based on that and the fact he’s had a decent spell up front for us in the past, I’d be starting him in place of Wilson. That’s not a very Jim Duffy kind of thing to do though so he’ll go with the already failed method of playing Jones there. I’d love to say I have a bit of confidence after looking like a better team than Stranraer but I really don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm not afraid to admit that I'm an absolutely bag of nerves for tonight. I reckon Edinburgh will come out the blocks flying to try and grab an early goal, safe in the knowledge that we won't (and can't) attack. If they get that then it will be 3-0 and game over. We really, really, cannot afford to concede more than once tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMonc Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Not a lot of positive vibes from the Dumbarton fans in this thread. Hope that’s the same come half 9 tonight. We’re good when we attack teams not so good when we sit off. Nerves and caution might cause us to drift toward the latter but I’d like to see us try and get an early goal (which we’ve been good at under Naysmith) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Difficult to see how we score in this game. For me it has to be Jones up front and either Wallace or Frizzell playing off him. Given our lack of midfield options, I'd probably go 4 in midfield: Brindley and Omar wide, Wedderburn and Forbes in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's on thing we HAVE been good at this season it's bringing teams down to our level - we need that to continue for another two games. As for the scoring options, the loan signing of Layne is fast rivalling the stupidity of signing Denny Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Patterson Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I must admit I am quite looking forward to this. I haven't seen either side other than Dumbarton's display against Aberdeen this season, but was impressed by them then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
