Dumbarton really don't do well when they are expected to get results... with everything looking like it is against Clyde it wouldn't surprise me to see you guys win convincingly.
That being said, if our players cannot motivated themselves for this game given everything that has unfolded over the season then they fully deserve to go down.
Tough game but I just hope we do enough to even scrape a victory, at least!

Interesting to hear the commentary on the Partick v Falkirk game. Apparently Brian Graham went over to calm down Zak Rudden who was getting wound up by Mark Durnan...

McAllister wasn’t fully fit before the game kicked off. Was over at the physio just before kick-off.
Yeah, I know he has been struggling. But we could really do with him in the next 2 matches.

That was a huge 3 points, which is all that matter at this stage, but once again there was worrying signs there - most notably the inability to stick the ball in the net.
Isaac Layne should not be starting in any of our relegation deciding fixtures, he is quite clearly absolutely nowhere near fit and has no time to get fit. He also displayed a distinct lack of effort for me last night, not really attempting to win headers etc. I think we looked a lot better when Jones came on.
Kudos to young Wallace who continues to impress me. I thought he was a real live wire and until the introduction of PJ Crossan he was the only man in a Sons shirt who was remotely trying to make something happen.
Crossan, Wallace, Omar and Jones have to start our last two fixtures. Frizzle needs dropped for one of the aforementioned more effective players.
Agree with most of this. I had my doubts that Layne was the answer to our problems before last night and I'm now certain I was correct to feel that way. He can't play next Tuesday so depending on how things unfold with Clyde then he may not feature again. Also agree we looked better balanced with Jones and it didn't take long for him to contribute more than Isaac did...
Langan simply isn't good enough for me and Frizzell offers far too little in the grand scheme of things. We are lucky if once in a match he beats 2 men and creates 1 chance. I was also disappointed in Omar's contribution last night but feel he needs to be played further forward. He was sitting in beside Forbes last night at times and the one time he got into the opposition half he ripped the Forfar player, being too quick, and it could have resulted in a red card for their man. But he is wasted playing so deep.
Concerns at RB (in defence in general) with McAllister going off too... hope that doesn't mean he misses any more games.

I think awarding three points to Clyde is the only sensible outcome here
Oh... now this is awkward

Give us McGeever in the summer and it's a deal.
Not that you guys will actually play him. You just want to concede 2 less goals a season eh?

Making him play for us in the remaining games this season would be a fair punishment imho.
Surely the only fair thing to do would be to ban him and send us Zak Rudden on an emergency loan in way of an apology? Falkirk and Cove look to have bottled it anyway so they won't need him...

Load of nonsense. He's simply making space for himself as he is entitled to do when the ball is in the air and there has been an unfortunate but completely accidental bit of contact from which your player happens to have been the worse for wear.
This post is the only thing that qualifies as a "load of nonsense".

Shadows are relative to the light source, by your logic zak is right in front of the post
Or not if you look at the correct shadow

Poor game but I'll take the 3 points..better 2nd half performance....do Dumbarton always throw there 2 big centre halfs up for every free kick even if its deep inside there own half??
Play to our strengths and all that... shame we don't really have any. But our defence has been far superior to our attack this season so there may be some logic in it, somewhere.

We are now in pretty deep shit, and if we eventually drop into League Two then a great deal will lie in Jim Duffy's inability to assemble anything remotely resembling a strike force. In particular the signings of Johnstone and Layne turned out to be wildly optimistic and poor Jamie Wilson has really gone backwards after a decent start. Robert Jones' main virtue is that tries hard, but he isn't a tenth of players such as Andy Brown, Colin Nish or Robert Thomson. Staying out of the play-offs is looking like a tall order.
I don't think we should be fearing teams like Clyde, Forfar and Peterhead. It was less than a week ago where we deservedly beat Clyde away and if we can produce that same level we should have enough to avoid the drop. I do think we have been far too inconsistent this year but I don't think we can take much from tonight's match. Partick are a better team than us who are in better form and we ran out of steam in the last 20 mins or so.
It didn't help losing 2 key players in an already threadbare squad for the match.

I’m basing it on that, which seems fairly clear cut.But the ball wasn't on the ground was it? That Still makes it look like the ball has rolled across the line on the ground. Not saying it was or wasn't just that you can't be 100% sure, in my opinion.
The fact is, he should've buried it with the 'keeper having no chance to get near it.

No. And let's not going down the hard luck, bad refereeing, etc., route. The team that won fully deserved to win; the guys I feel for are the defenders who must feel like fucking extras in the film Zulu on a weekly basis.
I've not suggested that it made any difference to the result or that we were hard done by tonight. I just think that the challenge late on by Ross Docherty was out of control, dangerous and over the top of the ball.

Surely you cannot say for certain the ball crosses the line?? Unless you watched a different stream to what I did. He should've blasted in the back of the net and didn't.

Anyone else think Ross Docherty could've seen red before? Seemed late and quite aggressive over the ball to me but hard to say in real time.

Just said exactly the same thing. If he uses an elbow with enough force to cause an injury like that then it's a red for me. Clumsy or not.

Also goes to show what we could've done this season with a competent strikeforce.
I can't get over the fact we could be 5th if we had beaten Forfar and Peterhead. Both teams were awful in those matches... but we were worse obviously. We really had to be better in those 2 games, in my opinion.

Didn't mean any offense rather challenging the notion that the team with the biggest budget (always) wins.
QP in a lovely position but their gaffer is a serial under performer. I'm not sure there is a massive spread in budgets across the bottom championship and 75% of our league and it's too easy to say that an under achieving manager needs more money.
I completely agree. The aforementioned Montrose are the perfect example of exactly this. I'm not too clued up on budgets but there can't be much between most of the side from mid League 1 downwards. But I think it is fair to say QP being full time and having guys like Simon Murray, Louis Longridge and Jai Quitongo in their attack probably means they have a bigger budget than most part time teams in the country.
Should add in: the years we spent in the championship completely backed up the point you are making. Not many of our fans would argue that the biggest budget means success. We watched a number of teams drop out of the championship whilst we stayed up. Glory days...

The commentary is dreadful.
The football is worse...
We need to throw everything at them 2nd half (starting off with Crossan for either Bridley or Frizzell) and at least try get a draw. They don't look any good at all but don't think we have rescued a single point from a losing position this season.
