O'Kelly Isley III Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 If ever a thread summed up the worrying direction of travel of DFC then this it. When you are permanently skint and dropping the divisions then whoever your Manager is there will be punts being taken on decent players whose fitness record is patchy. Poor Declan Byrne joins Rory Loy, Denny Johnstone and the lad Syvertsen in that category, with Joe McKee now giving cause for concern. I've deliberately left out John Gemmell as he was signed more for a cameo role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Any chance that we could use a few of the youngsters to fill the bench? I know that they're nowhere near ready, but on the off chance that we pick up further injuries then they'd at least fill a spot for the last few minutes of a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves absolutely no room for error or injuries. Sadly the Russell McLean signing isnt working out and the injuries in our squad are hitting us at the business end of the season. Some very tough questions need honest and uncompromising answers from our club board and our shyster of an owner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 A distance away match, playing for nothing but pride and us barely capable of fielding a starting 11? Don’t think I’ll bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarko_son Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 This is one of those ones where I'm thinking a game where we pick up no injuries would be a result, almost regardless of what the score actually is. Which is defeatest as possible sounding I know but it's hard to think we'll be in a good position here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Can we have any realistic chance of winning today with the injury crisis? Seems next to impossible to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the midst of an injury crisis the last time we visited Galabank. It's not inconceivable that we win today but I don't think we will. What is giving me hope(I know, I know) is that Annan are also missing key players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still missing 4 of those starters today, by my reckoning. It’s the first time this season, I’ve felt like a win is inconceivable.

squeezebox-son Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 We will not finish in 2nd place. We also look to be going into the play offs in a terrible run of form. Doomed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomed. Tbf I don’t think there’s any advantage between finishing 2nd and 4th. Like you say, it’s the form that’s got us doomed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) If we were a serious club, we would be thinking about sacking the manager to try and give us some kind of bounce for the playoffs. Not saying that’s the decision I’d make, feel a bit sorry for Faz, or that it would work, but a club with any kind of financial means would be considering it.
